So Podesta was on the board of this company. More Clinton/Russia ties.
From the article:Dmitry Akhanov, the president and CEO of Rusnano USA Inc., a Kremlin-owned venture capital firm nicknamed Putins child, oversaw the Russian governments investment in Joule and sat on its board along with two other Russians with ties to the Kremlin. Akhavov agreed that Clintons loss doomed the company.
We lined up investors who were willing to buy the bonds, but after the elections, with some statements from the new administration regarding potential uncertainty, the future support of biofuels was stopped, he told The Daily Caller News Foundation in an interview. The company was not able to do the deal and it was one of the reasons why the company was closed.
Akhanov confirmed to TheDCNF his company invested and lost 1 billion rubles, worth $35 million when Joule closed its doors.
The two other board members with ties to Moscow were Ruben Vardanyan, who Putin appointed to a Russian economic modernization council, and Anatoly Chubais, a close personal friend of former President Bill Clinton and economic advisor to former Russian President Boris Yeltsin.
This is Russian connection.
