Support NeoGAF

[RDreamer]

That seems really risky for 10 billion dollars. That won't even pay for the wall.

They'll all profit way more than that if the sanctions get lifted.

 

[SwordStruck]

That seems really risky for 10 billion dollars. That won't even pay for the wall.

The payout would be a lot more than $10 billion. If Trump gets his way and Tillerson gets in office and lifts Russian sanctions, Exxon will now be able to drill over 63 million acres in the Russian arctic. That's a $500 billion asset that would mean big money for everyone involved (Particularly Exxon and its Russian partners - such as Rosneft/Putin).

 

[ZOONAMI]

This reads more like people in Trump's circle taking advantage of his election win than anything else. Paul Manafort, his former campaign manager, resigned shortly after his financial history with Russian-Ukrainian officials came to light. It wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't the only one.

For instance, why would Trump want to use the Qatari's to funnel $10billion into an infrastructure project when he has the US Treasury now? Or is it someone on his team that will profit of this instead?

It's likely the infrastructure contracts will be for companies with trump ties.

There's also the fact that Trump owns stocks in MANY different companies. In comparison to someone like Crooked Hillary, who only invests in one Vanguard 500 Index Fund. It's literally impossible to separate his conflicts of interest from his policy decisions as President, which in and of itself should not be allowed.

The Donald owns anywhere from $500,000 to $1 million worth of shares each in Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase , Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs

Trump own shares in big pharma companies including Pfizer, Merck, Celgene and GlaxoSmithKline; retailer Walmart, and consumer goods firms Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson. He also hold stakes in a variety of multinational oil companies like Shell, Chevron and Exxon Mobil.

The climate-change skeptic owns shares in Phillips 66 PSX -1.24% - a joint venture partner in the controversial Dakota Access pipeline, where demonstrations are ongoing, and in Kinder Morgan, another pipeline giant facing resistance for its plans to connect the Canadian oil sands to Vancouver, British Columbia. Trump also has a small investment in Canadian energy company TransCanada, the developer of Keystone XL pipeline, which was rejected by President Barack Obama last year but supported by Trump.

The populist billionaire has other Canadian holdings, including $500,000 to $1 million investments in the Bank of Nova Scotia and the Toronto Dominion Bank, and $1 million to $5 million worth of shares in the Royal Bank of Canada. Such investments add to the array of connections Trump already has with foreign entities - including nine figure debts owed to German lender Deutsche Bank and China’s state-controlled Bank of China.

I really hope he doesn't make it to Friday and the agencies arrest him along with his friends. To see their faces, would be amazing. He deserves not to be recognised as President, even for a short time, don't give him a day.

Listen, this is important that everyone realizes this: Your (our) fantasy of Trump getting arrested before Friday ... or ever ... doesn't happen without McConnell and Ryan and a LARGE MAJORITY of Republicans in Congress willing to sign off on the action. Which will obviously come with a 'and we'll name his replacement' deal.

Just keep this with you while we all fantasize. And remember it was McConnell that blocked the bipartisan pre-election announcement about Russia after meeting with Comey (along with Dems) behind closed doors. Sooo

Two numbers being roughly equal - 19% and 19.5%. The rest is all circumstantial or guilt by association.

And on top of that we really don't know jack further than those sentences "they were offered a 19% stake" and "Russia sold 19.5% of its stake". Actual investigation by people in the know might reveal it's a totally normal business transaction with no way for the money to be funneled into private funds. Or it might be a completely out of kilter transaction that made no business sense and came through odd channels.

For instance, why would Trump want to use the Qatari's to funnel $10billion into an infrastructure project when he has the US Treasury now? Or is it someone on his team that will profit of this instead?

His infrastructure plan is all tax credits and handing over infrastructure to private entities to monetize and profit from.

It's an opinion not a "truth." In my opinion someone who constantly contradicts himself and says the exact opposite of what he means because he can barely speak his native language correctly for some reason shouldn't be labeled a brilliant speaker.

I work in consulting and Trump would be back office never speak to the client roles.

That is it ladies & gentlemen, forget the revenge golden showers & prostitutes. All peanuts compared to this.
What will be left of those 11 billion dollars after all partners got their fair share will make Trump look good on infrastructure investments. So it seems Russia is in it for the long run of at least 8 years of Trump.
Seems all pretty simple really.

Good work, hopefully this gets picked up.

Not sure how these might be related, but in addition to Karlov, Petr Polshikov, another member of the Foreign Ministry was found dead the same day:

In addition, Yves Chandelon, the chief of NATO's terrorist money laundering investigations was also found shot on December 16th

From the articles themselves, they look like they were all related to Turkey in one manner or another. I don't know if money laundering with ISIS would play a role in anything. Perhaps it's a separate series of events in motion, since I can't see a direct relationship.

With all due respect, this is all there really is:



Two numbers being roughly equal - 19% and 19.5%. The rest is all circumstantial or guilt by association.

And on top of that we really don't know jack further than those sentences "they were offered a 19% stake" and "Russia sold 19.5% of its stake". Actual investigation by people in the know might reveal it's a totally normal business transaction with no way for the money to be funneled into private funds. Or it might be a completely out of kilter transaction that made no business sense and came through odd channels.

Well yeah, the point being it needs to be investigated. It's not very often the smoking gun is delivered directly to the police station by the perp.

About as likely as believing 4chan is a source of anything but stupid memes. Have some perspective here people.

Seriously, I'm pretty sure the IC has already figured out the kind of stuff that some dude on a forum saw through searching articles.
