Pu doesn’t need Epstein to ‘hide his money offshore’. There are more than enough knowledgeable people in Russia who’ll teach any aspiring businessman to create LLCs that own each other in a circle, while the actual decision-maker is nowhere to be seen. Pu likes his confidants to be close to him, he wouldn’t hire some schmuck from the other side of the world for this, especially seeing as he himself was involved in money-hiding since his days in the KGB.
An actual wealth holder for Pu is cellist Sergei Roldugin, his friend since Roldugin’s military service in 1977. Roldugin holds positions in multiple state-funded culture-related initiatives that Putin personally oversaw. He’s also a businessman, or rather a business owner, somehow having shares in private companies worth dozens of millions of bucks each. He’s been shown to own offshore companies that traded shares in state-owned companies and got loans without collateral and with small interest. Lithuanian government confirmed Roldugin’s offshore operations — as Lithuanian banks were involved in the transactions — and considers them to be money laundering. Roldugin is named in the Pandora Papers and other journalist investigations, is indirectly a suspect in state investigations in Panama and Switzerland, and is sanctioned since 2022 by the US, EU, and some other countries.
Roldugin is also involved with the Rossiya bank, which is considered the personal ‘wallet’ for Putin’s friends, and which bank is separately sanctioned by the US since 2014 and the EU since 2022.
The founder and owner of the largest share in the Rossiya bank is Yury Kovalchuk, who’s sanctioned by the US since 2014 for being Putin’s personal banker. Well, again, Putin knew him since early nineties, and they founded the Ozero cooperative together with Putin’s other friends, who all hold top positions in the government or business.
They’re just all the same class of assholes. I was explained by one dude years ago that they all went to the same “business” schools and are all very much on the same line. They were educated and socialized together, so of course they have their little clubs of horror eveywhere.
Are you saying that Epstein studied law in Leningrad State University, or do you mean training in the 401st KGB School or the Yuri Andropov Red Banner Institute (aka Academy of Foreign Intelligence)?
