Just so everyone is aware, that Canadian Electric bus company that Lee Zeldin was talking about that received $160 million from the Biden administration and then filed bankruptcy? One of the board members is Lorenzo Roccia, a friend and business partner of Hunter Biden.

The same guy in emails doing deals with Hunter and his business partners while Hunter was on the board on Amtrak.

Also, the company was set up with a U.S. entity incorporated in Delaware and Lorenzo was on a fundraising flyer hosting a fundraiser for Beau Biden when he was running for attorney general.

The Biden Crime family never stops….

Roccia’s also linked to Scaramucci (-> Goldman Sachs):

A few days after Anthony Scaramucci lined up a top job in Donald Trump’s White House, he struck a multimillion-dollar deal to exit his investment firm, selling part of his interest to a little-known company, RON Transatlantic EG. . .

And Venezuela. . .

https://infodio.com/03122018/who/is/danilo/diazgranados

Who is Danilo Diazgranados?

. . .Marrying “Fefi” Salvatierra, of the Salvatierra banking clan, certainly helped. That is how this “banker” started of, in the in-law’s Banco Unión. Not the most kosher operation, for sure, Diazgranados made his own clan. Walter Alexander del Nogal (aka Alex del Nogal, married to Marisol Salvatierra), and Ramiro Helmeyer (associate of del Nogal and charged with Mario Patti’s assasination), were soon in the news for making creative use of car bombs in 1993 to create panic in Caracas. This in turn brought a degree of volatility into the stock market that Diazgranados and his mates surely played for gain.

Diazgranados was arrested. Ditto his co-conspirators. But fortune was to smile on the bunch, for Helmeyer and del Nogal ended up sharing accommodation in prison with none other than Hugo Chavez. So instead of doing 30 and 20 years, respectively, they got pardoned and freed in January of 2000, after just six years. With Chavez in power lots of deals could be had, and that’s precisely what Diazgranados and his mates did.

In the intervening years, the Salvatierra clan established first a partnership and then a sale to Juan Carlos Escotet. The family bank, Banco Union, became BANESCO after various expansion rounds. One of the Salvatierras was found to be involved in fraud, and his lawyer was Gustavo Perdomo, member of “Banda de los Enanos” judicial protection racket along with brother-in-law Raul Gorrin, a former partner of Luis Oberto... It is quite difficult to explain such coincidences. These thugs seem to have a magnet for each other.

As State Department officials would put it, Diazgranados was a “...primary facilitator... who serves as the intermediary between the BRV and financial institutions for deposits and bonds.” That’s what he did when he wasn’t pretending to be running a “legitimate” rubbish collection business. His mate del Nogal got arrested in Italy on drug trafficking charges, while his other friend Helmeyer was offering bonds and outright stealing money. When things got out of hand with Helmeyer, dead bodies would pop up again.

Imagine the shock upon getting a call from Bloomberg, saying that Diazgranados was behind attempted purchase of Anthony Scaramucci’s Skybridge fund. A partnership between Jersey-registered RON Transatlantic Offshore Ltd and China’s HNA Group was to make the acquisition. The deal didn’t pass the smell test at the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. and it fell through, but the question remains: just how did Diazgranados manage to get into such a partnership with the Chinese giant?

As it turns, through proxy/employee Laurent/Lorenzo/Laurence Roccia, Diazgranados had been cultivating political connections at the highest levels in America. Roccia apparently brought over $500,000 worth of donations to the Obama campaign. In return, he got invited to the inauguration, got appointed as some sort of external advisor/counsel to the Treasury, and got a few one-on-one and petit-committee kind of meetings with Obama officials at the White House (Reggie Love, Chris Lu and Ben Rhodes). Love has become a Diazgranados / Roccia employee, claiming in LinkedIn profile that RON Transatlantic has $8 billion under management. . .

I do wonder what happened to all the electric buses from the mid twentieth century that used energy stored in big flywheels. Hooked up to shore power before starting a route tour, and being able to complete a tour without recharging. Unlike Lithium Ion batteries, the flywheels never burst out into flame at any time. No overhead wires, either.
