How Ukrainian Oligarchs Secretly Became the Largest Real Estate Owners in Downtown Cleveland
In an explosive legal complaint filed last month in Delaware, attorneys for a major Ukrainian bank alleged that two oligarchs who founded the bank and controlled it from 2006 to 2016 laundered hundreds of millions of dollars in fraudulent corporate loans to purchase assets in the United States and unjustly enrich themselves and their associates.
The men on the ground in the United States, according to the complaint, were a Miami-based trio: Mordechai "Motti" Korf, his brother-in-law [Chaim Schochet], and Uriel Laber. These three men managed the "Optima" companies: [Optima] International, Optima Ventures and Optima Acquisitions, all of which were created and ultimately controlled by [Kolomoisky] and Bogolyubov

As operatives for Ukrainian oligarchs go, Pozharskyi, 41, is one of the toughest, trained in the trenches of one of the world’s most corrupt countries, say sources familiar with him.
He’s been linked to Hunter Biden, 50, since Biden joined the company’s board in 2014
According to emails obtained by the Post, Hunter introduced his veep dad to Pozharskyi less than a year before Joe Biden leaned on government officials in Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who was investigating the $400 million company.
“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together,” Pozharskyi wrote to Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015. “It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure.”
In 2015, veteran Russian writer and investigator John Helmer, author of “The Man Who Knows Too Much About Russia,” suggested that Zlochevsky and Pozharskyi were front men for Kolomoisky at Burisma.
He is not the type of “businessman” the Bidens would want to be associated with, said one Ukraine expert. In August, the U.S. Justice Department accused Kolomoisky of robbing billions from the PrivatGroup bank he owned and using the many companies he has all over the world, including the U.S., to launder it.
