They won't say why they're conducting the raids, but they're currently cleaning out the Optima Management offices in the One Cleveland Center. Reporter remarks there is a similar raid underway in Miami.

Any connections to the Democrats?

Or just routine FBI stuff?

Probably just a drug dealer in Miami that has cut the CIA and the FBI out of the deal and they are pissed off about not getting their cut. Nothing to see here.

A quick search shows them as a major real estate firm which owns a lot of down town area stuff.

Money laundering perhaps?

The article goes into say the oligarchs were heavily related to PrivitBank, which is the bank at the center of a lot of the Burisima mess.

Yup. You have to wonder how Joe will take this once his Prevagen kicks in.

YouTube comment section says it’s tied to Ukraine oligarchs who own those buildings.

The Ukrainian is one of the most corrupt places in the world, its a way of life there. About every couple of years the U.S. goes after former heads of state or government officials funneling money out of the Ukrainian through the U.S. banking system. You would think these guys would wise up and avoid the U.S.

Even if they told them, you think he would recognize the significance of it?

for that!

How long until Joe Biden announces he's pulling out of the race?

Sure is a shame my thread about Joe Biden dropping out got anchored.

Whew! I thought maybe this had something to do with Optima Tax Relief.

They were already hosed by Alan Thicke dying.

Two Ukrainian cargo ships had reportedly just arrived in Beirut and were pretty much right where the explosion took place.

Just saw someone reporting it on Twitter. If I get a source for it I will drop it. Seems kinda strange considering the raids today.
