Yes, the company was legitimate. However, it seems basically to have functioned through somebody knowing somebody (in the upper echelons of one or another government) and paying or pressuring for access.
I read a print-out of one of the longer emails - I think while Biden was still VP although towards the end - and it sounded as if our entire foreign policy was revolving around what would benefit Hunter Biden’s interests.
And he was a multi-country grifter - Ukraine and Eastern bloc, Russia, China...and it was pretty clear, I thought, that his “chairman” or “the Big Guy” was in on it too.
The sad reality is that Biden failed in his “point man” duties. The failure was deliberate. He hurt the American people and squandered our tax money in some cases (watch the Rudy G podcast about where all our aid went in Ukraine - it was stolen) all while he and his family benefited.
What was the proposed line of business of the company? What is it going to make something? Was it going to invest in other things?
