#2 Ah, Blum Capital! Formerly Richard Blum and Associates - and the lynch pin of how Diane Feinstein handles her Chinese bribe money *completely legally.*
Here's how it works:
1) DiFi does the Chinese government a favor on Capitol Hill.
2) A seemingly private Chinese company hires Richard Blum (Notice how they have different last names?) as a "consultant" to do… well, nothing in particular really. He “advises them on their investment strategies.” Because, you know, the Chinese aren’t good at that sort of thing.
3) The seemingly private company pays him by check via the Shanghai Commercial Bank at 231 Sansome in San Francisco. The amounts are large, but not *really* large, if you know what I mean. Hundreds of thousands, not millions or anything stupid like that.
3) A check is picked up from said bank and taken to his office at 909 Montgomery. (It used to be at 433 California - but 909 Moe more upscale. ThatÂ’s where Melvin Belli used to have his offices, after all.)
4) A deposit slip is returned to bank acknowledging receipt of said bribe monÂ… er, payment for services rendered. All nice and legal; Duke Cunningham could have learned a thing or three from Diane and Richard!
And, how may you ask, does Secret Master know all of these things? Because back in the day Secret Master was a top-of-the-line, 40-tag-a day San Francisco bike messenger: seen but not heard, and supposedly not smart enough to read the correspondence of his betters. But very trusted. Secret Master has read the correspondence of the Tides Center (1014 Torney Ave in the Presidio; very nice). HeÂ’s been inside the Ninth Circuit while it was in session (95 Seventh Street; not nice at all). HeÂ’s been to the private penthouse apartment of Gavin Newsom (CanÂ’t remember the exact address, but also very nice. On Nob Hill. Had a lobby guard that looked like an ex-Marine.) and that of Willie Brown (Back when it was on Yerba Buena Island; hip and industrial). HeÂ’s been in Storefront Political Media more times than he can count (Currently at 250 Sutter, used to be at 115 Sansome. The Sansome building is classier IMO.)
(And that is how Secret Master learned that he was a conservative Republican. Not because he believes in drug laws or cares about gay marriage, but because he got to see how evil and corrupt the Democratic Party is up close and personal. Very personal.) |
