Dig on Dennis Shields - Cohen's longtime friend dead of overdose/suicide 8/10

Accountantfag here again....this time yesterday I uncovered MONEY LAUNDERING in the Cohen charges and then found that the DOJ added a layer of protection for MONEY LAUNDERING when the money has to do with attorney fees (DOJ Criminal Division must approve a MONEY LAUNDERING prosecution against attorney when it involves legal fees). >>2700315 >>2700521

Now I find out that Dennis Shields is known as the 'litigation funding pioneer'

"Shields had been a leader in the litigation finance sector for more than two decades. He was the founder and CEO of LawCash, a Brooklyn-based provider primarily of settlement advances for private litigants that launched in 2000. Shields was also a founder and executive chairman of Esquire Bank, a Long Island-based financial institution that services law firms and lawyers, and launched YieldStreet Inc., an online lending and investment business."

Coincidence? Was Dennis Shields deeply involved with MONEY LAUNDERING and this added protection given to attorneys? Q+ going after this MONEY LAUNDERING loophole?

Dennis Shields' LawCash company drummed up quite a bit of legal trouble…

Here's just one of many examples:

"Andrew Hirschhorn, said he got a favorable settlement after suing LawCash in 2012 over “predatory loans” to his clients that carried interest rates of up to 124 percent on advances against their settlements."

In 2010, LawCash and another firm, Oasis Legal Finance Group — which runs TV commercials featuring former “Grey’s Anatomy” star Isaiah Washington — sued the state of Colorado over new regulations that subjected them to the same rules that limited “payday loans” to just $500 each and capped annual interest rates at 45 percent.

The companies said they couldn’t do business under those restrictions, but the Colorado Supreme Court sided with the government in 2015.

Similar legislation has been pending in New York since 2016, but has been stalled by the Democratic-controlled Assembly.

State Sen. Diane Savino (R-SI) said she favored cracking down on the industry, which she called “a problem for the NYPD or other public-service agencies.”

“This is something we should definitely not allow and if it’s currently legal in New York state, it shouldn’t be,” she said.
