In this latest case, Kolomoisky is accused of laundering tens of millions of dollars. However, that is just a small share of the billions of dollars of misappropriated funds that government officials have accused him and his partners of siphoning from PrivatBank, which he co-owned.

Meanwhile, another Hunter client, Igor Kolomoisky, of PrivatBank as well as Burisma, looted PrivatBank for approximately $5.6 billion, most to be reflated by foreign aid, including $1.8 billion of direct theft by Kolomoisky shell companies directed to their accounts in Cyprus.

Musk Provides Twitter Censorship Files

Me.

Biden’s election proved the usefulness of such a tool. The campaign against Musk’s Twitter will thereby likely intensify. So will his effort to fight back.

More popcorn please.

MoA links to an article by Matt Taibbi re: Hunter’s laptop. Matt points the NYT story, Joe Biden, His Son and the Case Against a Ukrainian Oligarch, which claims that Mykola Zlochevsky was the owner of Burisma Holdings. Zlochevsky did not own Burisma, at the time, Ihor Kolomoisky did! In 2012, Burisma changed owners to Privat Group, which was owned by Kolomoisky. On another note, the following video is interesting (despite Elon’s Starlink connection cutting out often). He claims that Twitter will be dedicated to the truth. Let’s see if he continues censoring people (re: Scott Ritter, Garland Nixon, etc). Like MoA asks, please pass the popcorn!

In this extremely short and simplistic post, I will do what it says on the tin: Scrape away the already deeply impacted layers of wartime propaganda[1]. I propose to do this in the old-fashioned American way: By following the money. (I was inspired to write this post by Gonzalo Lira, former NC contributor (!), streaming from Kharkiv (!!). His video, “Who Is Zelensky? A Puppet—and Here’s Why,” is perceptive, lucid, and convincing, albeit NSFW. I recommend you listen to it, on the off chance that the more hits this video has, the more of a public figure — hence, safer — Lira will be.)
