This week: #MobDepravity
A series of threads focusing on THE MOB & THE 7 DEADLY SINS.
Lust 💋🏩👯‍♀️
Gluttony🥃🍻💉💊
Greed💰💎💍
Sloth☠️
Wrath👹⚔️
Envy🤑
Pride👌
Today's thread will be on GREED: How the mob steals from individuals, corporations, nations, and continents.
First we star with how the mob steals from individuals.
Stock market manipulation is one way. Who loses the most with penny stock scams? Individual investors.
Hacking bank accounts and individuals' credit cards is another.
Jewelry theft is another. (Sometimes, the robbee is in cahoots with the robber because...insurance fraud....)
Next up: how the mob steals from corporations:
Intellectual property theft is one.
Hacking is a big one.

Naked short selling is another.
(It's a weird concept to explain in a tweet but basically in order to short-sell a stock, you have to first borrow the stock. which means only (up to) 100% of the outstanding shares could be short-sold (if the owners were willing to lend all of
it, which they usually aren't- usually only some of the float is available to be borrowed). but-naked shorting means you don't have the borrow and could theoretically sell 500% of the outstanding shares...flooding the market, causing a share price plunge.
Theft of entire corporations is another way the mob steals.
Read Red Notice by @Billbrowder for an in-depth explanation of how this works-the Russian Mafia State murdered Sergei Magnitsky when he discovered what they were doing. goodreads.com/book/show/2260…
Now we move into how the mob steals from nations.
Benefit fraud is a big one. In the US, the Russian Mafia in particular, targets Medicare and Medicaid.
This phenomenon of benefit theft from nations is not solely a US phenomenon, however.
Look at Germany: occrp.org/en/daily/6525-…
In Venezuela, PDVSA theft scandal is a HUGE problem. And the MOB has corrupted the government so much that... reuters.com/article/us-ven…
And in Malaysia, the 1MDB scandal, where billions were stolen from the Malaysian people.
In the 1980s/90s, the Russian mafia basically controlled Sierra Leone.
You can read about it in the ESSENTIAL book, Red Mafiya by Robert Friedman. goodreads.com/book/show/7664…
Why did they want to control Sierra Leone? Natural resources.
The mob has invaded the continent of Africa with an insatiable thirst for natural resources.
Like diamonds.
There's much more to dig into regarding THE MOB and GREED💰💎💍, but let's wrap up here for today's exploration. We'll dig deeper into this theme in the future.
Tomorrow, we'll focus on THE MOB and SLOTH☠️.

this seems like an intentional #provostunt by the #provokunts at @thehill
here's how I imagine the strategy meeting went:
PR1: "SHIT THE ALFA SERVER STORY IS OUT WE GOTTA DISTRACT DISTRACT DISTRACT!"
PR2: "LET'S THROW SOME ALL BLACK PEOPLE LOOK THE SAME CHUM INTO THE WATERS OF THE LEFT SO THEY DON'T FOCUS ON THE RUSSIAN MOB INFILTRATION OF OUR GOV'T!"
Buh Lou what are you taaallking about?
The Hill lets people who are REGISTERED (and unregistered) FOREIGN AGENTS PUBLISH PROPAGANDA IN THEIR OUTLET. Do you think they have any ethical standards? That'd be a big fat NO.
PS. google "the hill" + "Wilbur Ross"

ALFA SERVER STORY IS OUT.
"Better late than never" says a friend.
Was There a Connection Between a Russian Bank and the Trump Campaign?

The New York Times:
Published a Putin Op-Ed on Syria in 2013.
Failed the nation in 2016.
Headlines matter.
@nytimes: SHAME. SHAME. SHAME.

Sovereign Society fed clients to Panama Papers law firm
#GoodJournalism by @mcclatchyDC's @KevinGHall from June 2016.
I'm gonna add some background info on Robert Bauman of the Sovereign Society, because it's important. mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-wo…
Bauman is an advocate for offshoring money to avoid taxes.
SO WE ARE CLEAR:
Tax avoidance is why our infrastructure is crumbling. Tax avoidance is a form of greed. Tax avoidance is unpatriotic. Tax avoidance is what's gonna get alllllllll the bad guys. #FATCAgonnagetcha
Bauman's wife Carol Dawson (their marriage was annulled in 1983), and he were deeply involved with Young Americans for Freedom, aka YAF, and the American Conservatives Union, aka ACU.

Brett Kavanaugh 2015 financial disclosure report contains the following:
"Trip to Arizona Cardinals-Detroit Lions football game in Detroit with group of friends from Georgetown Prep high school class of 1983, hosted by high school classmate Michael Bidwilll, President of...
...Arizona Cardinals. October 10-11, 2015. Paid $500 to reimburse for flights and game ticket."
The game was at 4:05PM on October 11th. Ended 7:20PM.
No mention of where Kavanaugh stayed, who paid for his stay, or if he stayed with a friend. No mention of who paid for food/BEER.
Given @gregolear @LincolnsBible @SpicyFiles and my financial analysis of Kavanaugh's family finances, he didn't have a spare $500 laying around in 2015.

Let's go through the Dutch Ministry of Defense's presentation on the indictment of GRU officers today. Purple = my imaginary commentary of the officers who put this presentation together. (AND REMEMBER: I'm A HOUSEWIFE not a SPY)
