Justice Department Seeks Forfeiture of Two Commercial Properties
Purchased with Funds Misappropriated from PrivatBank in Ukraine
Both Properties Worth a Combined $70 Million
The complaints allege that Ihor Kolomoisky and Gennadiy Boholiubov, who owned PrivatBank, one
of the largest banks in Ukraine, embezzled and defrauded the bank of billions of dollars. The
two obtained fraudulent loans and lines of credit from approximately 2008 through 2016, when
the scheme was uncovered, and the bank was nationalized by the National Bank of Ukraine.
>>>2008 thru 2016 = the same 8yrs. Obama President. hmmmm….
The complaints allege that they laundered a portion of the criminal proceeds using an array of
shell companies’ bank accounts, primarily at PrivatBank’s Cyprus branch, before they transferred
the funds to the United States. As alleged in the complaint, the loans were rarely repaid except
with more fraudulently obtained loan proceeds.
>>>It was transactions from Cyprus caused the investigation into Hunter Biden. Maybe connected?
As alleged in the Complaints, in the United States, associates of Kolomoisky and Bogoliubov,
Mordechai Korf and Uriel Laber, operating out of offices in Miami, created a web of entities,
usually under some variation of the name “Optima,” to further launder the misappropriated funds
and invest them.
They purchased hundreds of millions of dollars in real estate and businesses across the country,
including the properties subject to forfeiture:
the Louisville office tower known as PNC Plaza, and the Dallas office park known as the former
CompuCom Headquarters. The buildings have a combined value of approximately $70 million.
