No, Jimbolini Jimbolini did the right thing.

Later today I am going to merge all of the drama from the TLP threads into here as a central place to discuss it, or maybe create a new thread. This one is very relevant though.

Yeah a thread merger would be fine, If so update the title though so people know whats happening.

Smed also responded again.

Tin Foil hat time. Russians used EQ as a money laundering scheme. They have underlings buy Krono with illegal money to turn it into legitimate profits for a company they own.

Besides Intrater’s $250,000 donation—which has not previously been reported—Trump’s inaugural committee accepted other Russia-related contributions. Russian American businessman Alexander Shustorovich and Access Industries, a firm owned by Len Blavatnik, a Soviet-born American citizen and Vekselberg’s longtime business partner, each gave $1 million to finance Trump’s inauguration.
