Ilhan Omar's Winery Exposed As Fake Shell For Alleged Money Laundering


A damning on-site investigation has revealed that the winery co-owned by Ilhan Omar’s husband is nothing more than a phantom operation, fueling suspicions of fraud amid scrutiny of her skyrocketing wealth.



Angela Rose, the journalist behind the probe, visited the listed address in Santa Rosa, California, only to discover glaring discrepancies that point to a shell company setup.


“I visited the principal address of ESTCRU winery. This winery is co owned by US Rep of Minnesota Ilhan Omar’s husband, Timothy Mynett, yet seems to allegedly be a shell business used to launder funds,” Rose stated in her report.


She detailed the revenue surge: “In 2024 they made about $15,000 and in 2025 it exploded to up to $5 million dollars… yet they weren’t producing any wine.”

Rose highlighted the lack of legitimacy: “No business license exists for ESTRCRU (Ilhan Omar’s Winery) at this address. The other wineries here are properly licensed.”

The address, 1160 Hopper Ave Apt B in Santa Rosa, houses over 40 wineries, but the location owner confirmed ESTCRU isn’t among them. Public records show it’s tied to a foreign processing center with no actual business license for ESTCRU.

This bombshell comes as Omar’s finances face intense federal scrutiny. Her 2024 financial disclosure reported assets between $6 million and $30 million, a massive leap from the $40,000 to $250,000 in 2023. The bulk ties to her husband’s winery and a venture capital firm.

Yep, many of us are already outraged by the stunts and crookedness. Add this item to the pile.

We continue to wait patiently for something to be done about it.

Once again IRS has no interest.

I'd be willing to make a nice little wager on a betting site that nothing happens to her

It isn't that hard send in an auditor and confirm this. Just test the revenue. Go through the ledger and start testing the deposits. You would expect that 90+% would be from credit cards payments. Get the credit card statements. Who purchased the wine. Confirm purchases were made. Then look at the shipping documents. Confirm with whoever they claim to use for shipping.

You could easily blow this up with just an IRS audit.

I know of all sorts of ways you can fake these things contemporaneously but it takes someone who knows accounting and what audits look at. Send out fake shipments through UPS. Create fake customers and buy with prepaid credit cards. Get some suppliers to be conspirators or possibly purchase supplies. Where are the grapes being purchased from? But these people seem so brazen that I seriously doubt they contemporaneously created a fake paper trail. You can try to put it together after the fact but it is really hard to fake credit card UPS statements.

I truly think most of our GDP is fraud and welfare.

Nothing will happen, because they ALL do this shite - both sides.

They bring down one of “their own” and then they will be a target.

Mutually assured destruction is what I see in politics (Epstein shite included.)

It's an article written by fricking Tyler Durden from fight club.

You guys will keep getting frustrated if you believe every anonymous piece of shite reporting that you find in the lowest depths of the internet. Smarten up.
