Clinton Foundation, Detroit Land Bank Authority & Russia: How The U.S. Is Being Ripped Off Through Child Welfare

I knew it.  They are using me as collateral to mortgage land.
There is much more to the Russian investigation than many will take the time to understand.

As some legal pundits will say, Sergei Magnitsky had to do strictly with banking, but it was much more.

He uncovered child trafficking and its money laundering schemes where the funds were used to secure properties.

The same exact thing happened here, in the U.S. and all one must do is to replace "Russia" with "United States" and "Prevezon Holdings" with one of the numerous entities of the Clinton Foundation.

Now it seems there is a Fusion GPS connection.

As for stealing identities to file fraudulent tax returns, you really do not have to do all that when we have the child welfare system in the U. S.

Once a child is under the auspices of the state, the state becomes the parent, and in the case of privatization, the parent corporation, which takes control of the trusts of the child, you know, that best interests doctrine, in the form of financial fiduciary control under parens patriae doctrine in commercial codes.

I promise, I will have the book published, soon.

This is the same exact thing the Detroit Land Bank Authority did, through the deep state of the Michigan Attorney General's Office, by and through the Clinton Foundation, laundering the money through child welfare fraud schemes.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Announces Civil Forfeiture Complaint Against Real Estate Corporations Allegedly Involved In Laundering Proceeds Of Russian Tax Refund Fraud Scheme

Complaint Seeks Forfeiture Of Assets Of 11 Companies, Including Four Luxury Apartments And Two High-End Commercial Spaces In Manhattan, As Well As Civil Money Laundering Penalties; Underlying Fraud Scheme Involved Theft Of $230 Million From Russian


Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, James T. Hayes, Jr., the Special Agent-in-Charge of the New York Field Office of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (“ICE”) Homeland Security Investigations (“HSI”), and Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., the District Attorney for New York County (“DANY”), announced today the filing of a civil forfeiture complaint against the assets of nine corporations controlling real estate in Manhattan, including four luxury residential units and two high-end commercial spaces, as well as against the assets of two related companies, and seeking the imposition of civil money laundering penalties.

The Complaint filed today in Manhattan federal court alleges that these corporations laundered a portion of the proceeds of a $230 million Russian tax refund fraud scheme involving corrupt Russian officials that was uncovered by Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian lawyer who died in pretrial detention in Moscow under suspicious circumstances.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said: “Today's forfeiture action is a significant step towards uncovering and unwinding a complex money laundering scheme arising from a notorious foreign fraud. As alleged, a Russian criminal enterprise sought to launder some of its billions in ill-gotten rubles through the purchase of pricey Manhattan real estate.

While New York is a world financial capital, it is not a safe haven for criminals seeking to hide their loot, no matter how and where their fraud took place.”

ICE HSI Special Agent-in-Charge James T. Hayes, Jr. said: “The complaint announced today further displays the U.S. Government's resolve in combating alleged corruption globally. ICE HSI will continue to aggressively pursue civil and criminal actions targeting those attempting to launder illicit profits.”

District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr. said: “Manhattan may have some of the most desirable real estate in the world, but it is not the place to purchase it if you are allegedly doing so with dirty money. We are very grateful to the United States Attorney’s Office for its close partnership on this matter, and pleased to have developed and referred this asset forfeiture and civil money laundering case to the federal government.”
As alleged in the Complaint and other court documents:

In 2007, a Russian criminal organization engaged in an elaborate tax refund fraud scheme resulting in a fraudulently-obtained tax refund of approximately $230 million from the Russian treasury. As part of the fraud scheme, members of the organization stole the corporate identities of portfolio companies of the Hermitage Fund, a foreign investment fund operating in Russia.

The organization’s members then used these stolen identities to make fraudulent claims for tax refunds.

In order to procure the refunds, the criminal organization fraudulently re-registered the Hermitage companies in the names of members of the organization, and then orchestrated sham lawsuits against these companies.

These sham lawsuits involved members of the organization as both the plaintiffs (representing sham commercial counterparties suing the Hermitage companies) and the defendants (purporting to represent the Hermitage companies). In each case, the members of the organization purporting to represent the Hermitage companies confessed full liability in court, leading the courts to award large money judgments to the plaintiffs.

The purpose of the sham lawsuits was to fraudulently generate money judgments against the Hermitage companies. Members of the organization purporting to represent the Hermitage companies then used those money judgments to seek tax refunds. The basis of these refund requests was that the money judgments constituted losses eliminating the profits the Hermitage companies had earned, and thus the Hermitage companies were entitled to a refund of the taxes that had been paid on these profits.

The requested refunds totaled 5.4 billion rubles, or approximately $230 million.

Members of the organization who were officials at two Russian tax offices corruptly approved the requests within one business day, and approximately $230 million was disbursed to members of the organization, purportedly on behalf of the Hermitage companies, two days later.

After perpetrating this fraud, members of the organization undertook illegal actions in order to conceal this fraud and retaliate against individuals who attempted to expose it. After learning of the lawsuits against its portfolio companies, Hermitage retained attorneys, including Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, to investigate. Magnitsky and other attorneys for Hermitage uncovered the refund fraud scheme, and the complicity of Russian governmental officials in it, and were subject to retaliatory criminal proceedings. Magnitsky was arrested and died approximately a year later in pretrial detention.

Members of the criminal organization, and associates of those members, have also engaged in a broad pattern of money laundering in order to conceal the proceeds of the fraud scheme. In a complex series of transfers through shell corporations, the $230 million from the Russian treasury was laundered into numerous accounts in Russia and other countries. A portion of the funds stolen from the Russian treasury passed through several shell companies into PREVEZON HOLDINGS, LTD., a Cyprus-based real estate corporation that is a defendant in the forfeiture action. PREVEZON HOLDINGS laundered these fraud proceeds into its real estate holdings, including investment in multiple units of high-end commercial space and luxury apartments in Manhattan, and created multiple other corporations, also subject to the forfeiture action, to hold these properties.

A chart containing the names of the companies subject to the forfeiture action and their known Manhattan real estate holdings is attached.

Mr. Bharara praised the outstanding investigative work of ICE HSI. He also thanked DANY for its assistance in the case.

This case is being handled by the Office’s Asset Forfeiture Unit. Assistant United States Attorneys Paul Monteleoni and Christine Magdo are in charge of the case.

Prevezon was the inspiration for me to create my own transposable model of child welfare fraud masterpiece I call the Detroit Land Bank Authority.

The art exhibit shall commence, shortly, and, of course, we shall have lots of cocktails & popcorn in Detroit.
