Summary of the article:
Sec of State John Kerry announces support for Ukraine's Nationalist Govt. Names Joe Biden as point person.
Joe Biden meets with Devon Archer (a Kerry fundraiser and business partner of Hunter Biden.) He was later arrested for defrauding a Native American tribe.
Less than a week later VP Biden went to Ukraine and spearheaded the effort of the US and IMF to invest $1B in Ukraine. The next day Archer joins the board of Burisma a secretive natural gas company in Ukraine.
Less than a month after that Hunter joins the board also.

2 of these officials are involved with Biden's company.
Mykola Zlochevsky founded Burisma and served as the country's natural resource minister. He awarded his own firm the license to develop natural gas fields.
The natural gas firm was controlled by Ukrainian oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky. He controlled the country's largest financial institution, ProvatBank also.

Kolomoisky gained a reputation for violence and brutality, along with lawlessness.

U.S. government placed Kolomoisky on its visa ban list, prohibiting him from entering the country legally. In 2015, after Biden and Archer joined Burisma's board, Kolomoisky was given admittance back into the U.S.
A month after Biden and Archer joined the firm another Kerry lackey, David Leiter, was hired as a lobbyist in DC and won more $ for Burisma.
$1.8 billion in taxpayer-backed loans to be given to Ukraine courtesy of the IMF. That money would go directly through Kolomoisky's PrivatBank, and then it would disappear.

According to the Ukrainian anticorruption watchdog Nashi Groshi, "This transaction of $1.8 billion ... with the help of fake contracts was simply an asset siphoning operation."
Four days before Joe Biden arrived for his "swan song" visit in January 2017, the criminal investigation into Burisma was dropped.
Archer and Biden have not been required to disclose their compensation from Burisma,
Potentially, the Biden family could become billionaires
