  1. This is the same guy that Manafort still owes millions of dollars to.

  2. Deripaska is great friend of Putin. He also is an all-purpose oligarch and therefore, an all-purpose crook. Deripaska had acted on behalf of a "senior Russian government official” – code for Putin – and had claimed to represent the Kremlin in other countries. The treasury said then: “Deripaska has been investigated for money laundering, and has been accused of threatening the lives of business rivals, illegally wiretapping a government official, and taking part in extortion and racketeering.” The US also sanctioned Deripaska’s companies, including the aluminium giant United Company Rusal, and Basic Element. Rusal was removed from the sanctions blacklist after Deripaska reduced his majority stake and gave up control of Rusal’s holding company, EN+. If you recall those golden years of "No Collusion Whatsoever ShutUp Please", you will recall that, in 2017, Rusal announced that it would be chipping in $200 million to build an aluminum plant in Kentucky, which is represented in the Senate by then-Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. This came right after the Treasury Department, at McConnell’s urging, lifted sanctions on the company. What a marvelous coincidence, everyone said.
