Hunter Biden Accused of $156M Counterfeiting Scheme With Burisma, CrowdStrike, Legal Filing Claims
See also Raj’s post on the IRS tax liens here.
[PJ] Hunter Biden's bank account records reveal a $156 million counterfeiting scheme involving Ukrainian gas firm Burisma and the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, according to a new legal filing in an Arkansas paternity case. The document, filed Friday by the Florida-based private-eye firm D&A Investigations, intends to notify the court of "felonies including Fraud and Counterfeiting." The document names Burisma, the gas company that hired Biden to the board while his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, was the Obama administration point person on Ukraine, and CrowdStrike, which investigated the hacking of DNC emails in 2016.

In the case, Lunden Alexis Roberts, a former Washington, D.C., stripper, is seeking full custody and child support after a November paternity test confirmed that Roberts' son ‐ born in August 2018 ‐ was indeed Hunter Biden's child. Hunter Biden's older brother, Beau, passed away in 2015. In 2017, the younger brother divorced his wife of more than 20 years, Kathleen Biden, and dated Hallie Biden, Beau's widow. Since he did not break up with his late brother's widow until April 2019, the paternity test showed that he cheated on her.

One month after the break-up with Hallie, he married Melissa Cohen in a surprise wedding.

While the paternity case reveals the sordid details of Hunter Biden's sex life, it may also shed light on potential corruption in Ukraine.

According to the filing, "the bank account records provide the source and destination bank account numbers of: Burisma Holdings Limited, PrivatBank, Bank of China, DEFENDANT's business partners, Rosemont Seneca Bohai, LLC. a/k/a RSB, LLC. a/k/a RSBais, LLC."

"They also verify the Counterfeiting scheme accumulating $156,073,944.24 with an Average Account Value (monthly balance) in the amount of: $6,785,823.66," the filing adds.

Perhaps the most explosive claim came with the link between Burisma and CrowdStrike. "Burisma Holdings Limited, finances Atlantic Council (Ukraine) and associated rogue operatives from the USDOS, FVEY and CrowdStrike in Ukraine, using PrivatBank."

#1 the bank account records provide the source and destination bank account numbers of: Burisma Holdings Limited, PrivatBank, Bank of China, DEFENDANT's business partners, Rosemont Seneca Bohai, LLC


Holy Hair-Sniff! "Source and destination" sounds rather precise and authentic.

So the trail may well look like this:

a) The company, Burisma, generates cash from selling gas, and manages its revenues in an account or accounts at its bank, PrivatBank-- which was sanctioned by the IMF (the motion notes that the IMF between 2017 and 11 September 2019 froze transactions with PrivatBank)

b) PrivatBank presumably sent funds from the Burisma account to the other named party, Bank of China

c) Bank of China then presumably made payoffs to Rosemont Seneca ie Hunter and Kerry's son's slush fund (which itself had ties to ChiCom investment funds.

Can you say, Money Laundering?

How you gon' sniff yo' way outta this one, Plugz?

Now there's a witches' brew of linkages. CrowdStrike keeps turning up in the news.

What's next? Julian Assange being extradicted to the U.S. and spilling his guts about the DNC servers and Seth Rich? Nothing would surprise me at this point.

#10 What's next? Julian Assange being extradited to the U.S

And surviving long enough to testify?

#11 Crowdstrike? Wasn't that one of those 'pro quo' thingies?

That name no one ever heard of until the Dems made it public through the impeachment phone call? Although the press usually just mentioned 'digging up dirt on a political opponent'.

Witches' brew, indeed!

#12 I agree that the counterfeiting charge seems sketchy.

Unless Crowdstrike has a side business in cryptocurrency, uh, "management"
