Sounds like Trump's Justice Department did good.... FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Friday, May 12, 2017 Acting Manhattan U.S. Attorney Announces $5.9 Million Settlement Of Civil Money Laundering And Forfeiture Claims Against Real Estate Corporations Alleged To Have Laundered Proceeds Of Russian Tax Fraud Defendant Prevezon Holdings Ltd. Agrees to Pay $5,896,333.65, Triple the Fraud Proceeds Alleged to Be Directly Traceable to the Defendants Joon H. Kim, the Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced today that the United States has settled a money laundering and civil forfeiture action against assets of 11 corporations, including some that own luxury residential and high-end commercial real estate in Manhattan. The Government’s complaint alleged that the defendant corporations laundered some 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 and was posthumously prosecuted by Russia. In the stipulation of settlement filed with U.S. District Judge William H. Pauley III today, which is still subject to approval by the Court, one of the defendant corporations, Prevezon Holdings Ltd., agrees to pay $5,896,333.65 to resolve the Government’s claims against all defendants. This payment represents triple the value of the proceeds that the Government alleged could be traced directly from the Russian treasury fraud to the defendants ($1,965,444.55), and more than ten times the amount of proceeds the Government alleged could be traced directly to property in New York (approximately $582,000). Fired US attorney in Manhattan replaced by longtime friend NEW YORK (AP) — Preet Bharara, the high-profile federal prosecutor who was fired by President Donald Trump’s administration after refusing to resign, has been replaced temporarily by a longtime friend and top adviser. Joon H. Kim, 45, who had previously served as Bharara’s chief counsel, criminal division head and top deputy, will be acting U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York until Trump nominates a candidate for the job who can be confirmed by the Senate. That process could take months.
The IRS was defrauded $230m. The lawyer offered the trumps intel on Clinton. They settled for $6m. What can be traced is irrelevant, money laundering is a major financial crime. Nothing to see here!
you always seem to read these things wrong in the lefty direction. It seems you always err on the side of the lie. then you bullshit your ass off and then change the topic. so do you have other facts... not here in the article... because if you read the article its says some of the 230 million and that the govt recovered triple the value of what they traced to the defendants. This sounds like they owed taxes on some proceeds. not that they owed the IRS 230 million. what facts do you have?

" Edward Snowden says the NSA could easily determine who hacked the Democratic National Committee’s emails: 25 Jul Edward Snowden ✔@Snowden Replying to @Snowden Even if the attackers try to obfuscate origin, #XKEYSCORE makes following exfiltrated data easy. I did this personally against Chinese ops. Follow Edward Snowden ✔@Snowden Evidence that could publicly attribute responsibility for the DNC hack certainly exists at #NSA, but DNI traditionally objects to sharing. 10:03 AM - 25 Jul 2016 But don’t trust Snowden … The NSA executive who created the agency’s mass surveillance program for digital information, who served as the senior technical director within the agency, who managed six thousand NSA employees, the 36-year NSA veteran widely regarded as a “legend” within the agency and the NSA’s best-ever analyst and code-breaker, who mapped out the Soviet command-and-control structure before anyone else knew how, and so predicted Soviet invasions before they happened (“in the 1970s, he decrypted the Soviet Union’s command system, which provided the US and its allies with real-time surveillance of all Soviet troop movements and Russian atomic weapons”) – confirmed to Washington’s Blog that the NSA would definitely know who the hacker was. Binney told Washington’s Blog in July: Snowden is right and the MSM is clueless. Binney tells Washington’s Blog: I expected to see the IP’s or other signatures of APT’s 28/29 [the entities which the U.S. claims hacked the Democratic emails] and where they were located and how/when the data got transferred to them from DNC/HRC [i.e. Hillary Rodham Clinton]/etc. They seem to have been following APT 28/29 since at least 2015, so, where are they? Further, once we see the data being transferred to them, when and how did they transfer that data to Wikileaks? This would be evidence of trying to influence our election by getting the truth of our corrupt system out. And, as Edward Snowden said, once they have the IP’s and/or other signatures of 28/29 and DNC/HRC/etc., NSA would use Xkeyscore to help trace data passing across the network and show where it went. [Background.] In addition, since Wikileaks is (and has been) a cast iron target for NSA/GCHQ/etc for a number of years there should be no excuse for them missing data going to any one associated with Wikileaks. *** Too many words means they don’t have clear evidence of how the data got to Wikileaks. Binney designed the NSA’s electronic surveillance system, so he would know.

Govt. knew they were defrauded of 230 million, they only could trace the 2 million - why would the crooks have a problem with paying 6 million when they have a lot more to play with? And why does govt. give a shit about 6 million, get some jail time from these crooks.
Trump said in his campaign that if I voted for Clinton, I would be stuck with a criminal president under constant federal investigation from day one. Turns out, he was right. I voted for Clinton and I'm stuck with a criminal president under federal investigation from day one.
@exGOPer You have posted several post that Don jr violated the law in a definitive/absolute manner. That simply isn't true. Stating this is illegal or that is illegal. That is not the case. Per Dershowitz, accepting information from a foreign government is not illegal and is not applicable to the current statute that a campaign cannot accept campaign contributions from a foreign government. "Moreover, the emails sent to Trump Jr. say that the dirt peddled by Veselnitskaya came from “official documents.” No mention is made of hacking or other illegal activities. So it is unlikely that attendance at the meeting violated any criminal statute."
@exGOPer I know. I know. You are going to character assassinate Democrat Dershowitz because he doesn't agree with your false narrative. I am not a fan of Dershowitz but he does kick ass in court.
@exGOPer After I posted, you dropped offline again. Did you take your ball and go home? Should expect more profanities?
