Back to YBM Magnex and a whole host of oligarchs…and how tie in to Uranium One people there's more but this for now
https://jimmysllama.com/2017/04/09/9407/
In 2004, one particularly well known Russian mobster, Semion Mogilevich, established a U.S. company called YBM Magnex and then branched out onto the Toronto stock exchange (TMX). Former YBM executives included Jacob Bogatin and Ontario’s former Liberal Premier, David R. Peterson who once sat as the board’s director. Canadian firms such as Canaccord Capital and Griffiths McBurneyunderwrote YBM Magnex’s November 27, 1997 stock market offering after which everyone later claimed they had no idea that their client was a notorious Russian mob figure. It wasn’t until after the U.S. Organized Crime Task Force raided YBM’s headquarters in Pennsylvania on May 13, 1998, that TMX suspended YBM trading.
So, do you want to know how shady the Russian mafia is as it relates to U.S. politics?
Let’s start with Eugene Mcburney whose firm (now GMP Capital) helped underwrite YBM’s initial stock offering. He is not only a Clinton Foundation and Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership donor, he was a shareholder in Frank’s Giustra’s uranium company, UrAsia, before it merged with Uranium One and was later sold off to Russia’s Rosatom. He also worked with both Giustra and Canaccord Capital’s CEO Paul Reynolds through Wheaton River, Pacific Rubiales, and Silver Wheaton. The Toronto Star once called McBurney an “old friend and business associate” of Giustra’s. And let’s not forget how Canaccord Capital was also involved with the uranium deal and the fact that its CEO, Paul Reynolds, donated between one and five million dollars to the Clinton foundation.
Side note: As I pointed out in a previous post, I’m a bit suspicious of Paul Reynolds’ “heart attack” in 2015, three weeks before Jo Becker’s bombshell articleabout Clinton donors hit the news stands. Trust me, Reynolds knew where all the bodie money were hidden.

Lanny Davis too…

For the past four years, Davis — a 72-year-old former special counsel to former President Bill Clinton — has served as a registered foreign agent for Dmitry Firtash, who has been fighting to avoid extradition to Chicago, where he faces charges of international racketeering and money laundering. In registering with the Justice Department as Firtash’s foreign agent, Davis said his firm was being paid $80,000 a month — or about a million dollars a year — by a man described by prosecutors as an “upper-echelon” associate of Russian organized crime. The case against Firtash “seeks to protect this country, its commerce and its citizens from the corrupting influence and withering effects of international organized crime,” prosecutors wrote last year./
Firtash has acknowledged ties to Semion Mogilevich, although the exact nature of their relationship is unknown outside of a classified space. A chain-smoking, hulking Ukrainian-born gangster, Mogilevich appeared on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list during Robert Mueller’s tenure as the bureau’s director. A 1996 FBI report on Mogilevich’s organization said he was involved in prostitution, weapons trafficking, smuggling of nuclear materials, drug trafficking and money laundering. Mogilevich was indicted on racketeering charges in Pennsylvania in 2002 for his role in a publicly-traded magnet company later exposed as a money-laundering front. Several sources, including Alexander Litvinenko, a former KGB officer turned whistleblower who was murdered in London, said that Mogilevich had a relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Mogilevich lives in Moscow, where some suspect he’s being protected by Russian intelligence.
