Hunter Biden received $3.5M wire transfer from Russian billionaire: Senate report

Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina, the richest woman in Russia and the widow of Yury Luzhkov, the former mayor of Moscow, Senate Republicans revealed in their report on the younger Biden’s work in Ukraine.

Baturina is referenced in the 87-page report, which was released Wednesday, addressing her payment to Biden’s investment firm in early 2014.

“Baturina became Russia’s only female billionaire when her plastics company, Inteko, received a series of Moscow municipal contracts while her husband was mayor,” it said in providing background on the businesswoman.

The report described her involvement with Biden as “a financial relationship,” but declined to delve deeper into why the wire transfer was made.

The probe also found that Baturina sent 11 wires transfers between May and December 2015 to a bank account belonging to BAK USA, a tech startup that filed for bankruptcy in March 2019.

Nine of those 11 wire transfers were first sent to Rosemont Seneca Partners, the investment firm founded by Biden and Chris Heinz, stepson of former Secretary of State John Kerry, before being transferred to BAK USA.

All 11 transactions described the payments as “Loan Agreement” in the details section.

The report reads, “[B]etween May 6, 2015 and Dec. 8, 2015, Baturina sent 11 wires in the amount of $391,968.21 to a bank account belonging to BAK USA LLC (BAK USA). Nine of the 11 transactions, totaling $241,797.14 were sent from Baturina’s accounts to a Rosemont Seneca Thornton bank account, which then transferred to the money to BAK USA. The 11 transactions all listed ‘Loan Agreement’ in the payment details section.

“BAK USA was a startup technology company headquartered in Buffalo, N.Y., that produced tablet computers in cooperation with unnamed Chinese business partners. BAK USA filed for bankruptcy on March 29, 2019.

Joe hasn’t explained why he went to Ukraine four days before Donald Trump was inaugurated. I wish President Trump would ask him that during the next debate.

"Did Hunter pay any taxes on all that unearned income ??????????????"

I mentioned on other threads here and elsewhere, how much cash did Hunter bring back from all his overseas trips while flying on Air Force 2? He wouldn't be searched, or have to go through customs. Perfect opportunity to bring in cash he wouldn't have to claim.

How come no one including Trump is talking about what Joe Biden himself did? Why is it just about his son? What about how Joe got the prosecutor in the Ukraine fired in order to protect his son and himself?

This cannot be true. Joe Biden said it was a debunked conspiracy theory. /sarc

My inclination is to believe this is a crime that has not yet been prosecuted.

Create a Facebook meme with a link to an altered story suggesting that Trump received 3.5B from the Russians and watch the hilarity as the libs freak out on Trump only to dismiss it when they find out it’s Biden.

Libs say that Hunter was an investment guy. That breaks MANY of the rules of SEC and the Patriot Act. Fines, civil and criminal charges along with suspension of licenses would be what anyone else would get.

.........
So what? Ukrainians regard Biden as their good old Uncle Joe. He is allowed to be a manipulator of Ukrainian domestic politics.

Russophobia morons’ whinge about Hunter Biden’s business is ridiculous. They hysterically urged Trump to squander big money in Ukraine to boost Biden’s corruption, now they claim biden has gone too far.
What a bunch of stupid useful idiots.

It is a conspiracy theory, as long as FBI gives the greenlight.

Ukraine is a hostile territory to Trump, very dangerous. Trump has paid the price for getting involved in Ukrainian politics
