Marty’s Words:

Wow just Wow!

Hats off to the Brits and the officers from the Combating Kleptocracy cell of the UK National Crime Agency.

I have been a bit critical of the UK's efforts in going after Russian Kleptocrats and their ill gotten gains to date.

But in detaining Fridman, the Brits just hooked a whale. 

Fridman is tied into the very inner sanctum of the Kremlin's elite. 

Fridman knows where all the financial bodies are buried.

He has extensive off shore holdings along with his partners in Alfa and Letterone.

Fridman also is partners with American real estate mogul Jack Rose in a Billion dollar real estate venture in the States that invests in distressed American real estate.

Fridman is the head of the Russian Jewish Congress

Jack Rosen is the head of the American Jewish Congress.

Alexander Mashkevich is the head of the Eurasian Jewish Congress (EAJC).

Ron Lauder is the overall head of the World Jewish Congress. Ron Lauder was a boyhood friend of Donald Trump.
