@TheRickWilson @LouiseMensch Oops.

For everyone seeking a deal w/law enforcement, there is one *small* detail we may have glossed over for all parties.

Asset forfeiture. To the government, and... to civil suits.

@TheRickWilson @LouiseMensch @thespybrief @ericgarland @TrueFactsStated And if you're thinking you'll fight - *great!*

A #RICO conviction proving guilt up front?

Involving treason, organized crime, media collusion, child trafficking, etc?

*&* you harassed or threatened people's kids? *Not* just the adult ones?

@TheRickWilson @LouiseMensch @thespybrief @ericgarland @TrueFactsStated I'm sure jury pools drawn from DC, New York, London, etc will be sympathetic.

But do remember a couple of *other* trivial details.

One, the Democratic Party already filed such a suit, and named Russian intelligence as a defendant.

@TheRickWilson @LouiseMensch @thespybrief @ericgarland @TrueFactsStated What do I have to do with Russian intelligence, you say?

An excellent question. If you're an employee, then guess what?

You've arguably already been named in an enormous suit.

@TheRickWilson @LouiseMensch @thespybrief @ericgarland @TrueFactsStated And law enforcement, counterintelligence, #FinCEN, the IRS and a host of prosecutors are engaged in proving your guilt.

Which brings us to that *other* trivial detail.

"Follow the money."

@TheRickWilson @LouiseMensch @thespybrief @ericgarland @TrueFactsStated It isn't *just* that #cryptocurrencies create a permanent, public, online record of every transaction, nefarious or otherwise, & law enforcement needs no warrants or even subpoenas to look at them.

@TheRickWilson @LouiseMensch @thespybrief @ericgarland @TrueFactsStated It isn't *just* that every bank on Earth has to cooperate w/#FinCEN investigations or cease to be countersigned by US banks... and thus. Cease. To. Be. A. Bank.

@TheRickWilson @LouiseMensch @thespybrief @ericgarland @TrueFactsStated It isn't *just* the mass exposure of offshore LLCs in the Paradise & Panama Papers.

It isn't *just* Treasury sanctions of oligarchs forcing banks to find out who the actual owners *are* for a host of corporate entities they serve.

@TheRickWilson @LouiseMensch @thespybrief @ericgarland @TrueFactsStated It isn't *just* the unearthing of money-laundering assets and vehicles from real estate to casinos to drugs to diamonds to fine art to luxury goods to online in-game currencies to copyrights to other intellectual properties, and the means to track *all* of them.

@TheRickWilson @LouiseMensch @thespybrief @ericgarland @TrueFactsStated It's *all* of this, combined with the most-important global law-enforcement and counterintelligence investigation in history, driven by an existential threat to every democracy on Earth, that ensures no one rooted in this has *any* assets left to hide.

@TheRickWilson @LouiseMensch @thespybrief @ericgarland @TrueFactsStated The evidence already retrieved and doubtless analyzed is unfathomable.

And those mountain chains of evidence will only grow, day by day, until this is done.

And your resources are torn from you and you at last languish in chains.
