Russia and the Ukraine

Exposing Putin's US Banking

We obtained and published or shared account numbers from Putin's top 3 banks. And tracked AML and trade from South America's wealthiest US investors, into these banks.

Putting Teeth to US & UK Sanctions

In 2023 we have identified and elevated hundreds of Rostek and Russian Government-owned or sponsored entites and over 81 named persons trading with US persons & entities; putting us all at risk. And our intelligence has supported not only new US SDN listings, but new, major UK and Ukraine sanctions.

War Crime Intelligence

Because Russia never joined the International Criminal Court (ICC) its warrant for Putin's arrest has no venue. The ICC and EU are currently meeting - April 2024 - at the Hague to discuss how to bring Putin to justice. Every sanction violator, and every direct or indirect supporter of Russia's economy or military we elevate and help bring to justice, also curtails War Crimes.

“Good intelligence, delivered with honesty and integrity, is America’s first line of defense.”

RUSSIAN MILITARY & BANKING SUPPLY CHAINS

In Spring 2022, we became the first US government contractor to expose a little-known Russian Government Naval and Nuclear Innovation and Manufacturing entity: IZUMRUD

But once we began looking into Izumrud in spring 2022, it soon became clear that US entities and persons supporting it were actually - in many cases - working on direct retainer to the Russian Government, whether in Estonia or the US or other nations - and that affiliation between Izumrud and murdered Ukraine citizens or sympathizers kept showing up. Especially in the case of Mariupol Mayor Olga Suhenko and her family, killed by Russian soldiers in early April 2022 and thrown into a shallow grave. And even murdered DC resident and Putin critic Dan Rapoport, appeared to show affiliation to Izumrud. Dan was found dead after a fall from a trendy, 10-story luxury apartment building at 2400 M St in Foggy Bottom, Washington DC in August 2022. He had given his DC Kalorama mansion to his ex-wife, who sold it to a Chilean investor and mining mogul, to lease to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. Did Dan and Olga have other things in common besides time spent in the Ukraine and strong criticism of Russian President Putin - other than Izumrud?

Why didn't any of the US-based entities or persons, whether US citizens or not, come forward about Izumrud and their work for this Russian Government entity, or its child or affiliate companies, especially in Tallin, ES and south Florida and DC metro; as news of the invasion and Russian War Crime atrocities spread? Only recently, in spring 2024 with the airing of the Frontline - AP documentary, "20 Days in Mariupol,' has US leadership gained support once again for War Crime and sanctions prosecutions, and for increasing aid to the Ukraine. But yet, US citizens nationwide are found to be involved with Izumrud, or other dangerous Russian entities supporting its atrocities in the Ukraine - here are just a few of them, below - and few if any involved persons appear to have offered their support to US DOJ, DOD, or OFAC-Treasury to stop Putin.

Tracking Russian Crypto & Banking Activity Linked to US Persons and Entities: VTB Bank, PJSC Sberbank, and PJSC Promsvyazbank

AO IZUMRUD is one of several dbas for Russia's global Naval & Nuclear manufacturing arm known as "emerald" (Izumrud). We were instrumntal in flagging Izumrud iterations to the UK Treasury in winter 2023, and the UK responded by almost immediatelly issuing Crimes Against Humanity warrants and sanctions against it. Izumrud is listed on Ukraine and EU sanctions lists in several iterations, but its real complexity spans hundreds of Russian-owned entities. Most of which are aligned along threads supported by either Rostekh, or Putin directly.

We have long believed that, due to its technology and S&T influence and oversight, Rostekh has always been the more dangerous target than the Wagner Group. The Wagner Group was a gang of prison thugs and mercenaries; they would never threaten the US or NATO. They only had limited impact on the Ukraine due to proximity. The real threat from Russia to the rest of the world lies in its space, hypersonic, and nuclear WMD dominance.And that is the Roskekh - Izumrud - Spektr - related empire.

We believe we were the first US firm to flag Izumrud, in spring 2022, after one of its child entities reached out to hire us to help it obtain US Military and Government contracts. Izumrud, which is both an equal to and a child of Rostekh and the Russian Government, depending on the iteration and dba, contracted with us under the guise of being a US firm and government contractor. The contacts disclosed manufacturing and shipping operations in Tallinn, Estonia; but did not disclose the hub's Russian Government ownership. Or its patents for nuclear energy, or its South American and oligarch relationships, or its use of Putin's favorite three banks.

Nothing Izumrud does or sells or buys or ships is harmless. It's Tallinn shipping hub or offices list a senior Russian nuclear energy advisor and patent holder as Director. One of Izumrud's many dbas is the gentle presona of Envirolyte and Acqucea - water purification and water treatment plant suppliers. With US offices in Miami and Aventura, Florida.

The Real AO IZUMRUD or 'EMERALD'

Russia gave a hint to this network in 2014, when it christened one of its newest, most advanced nuclear submarines the "IZUMRUD.' And AO Izumrud's master factory in Vladivostov provides some of the same hype and product - water purification, water energy - that the US - South American branch (Envirolyte International or NPP Izumrud) advertises. But it also does much more: including potential nuclear fusion, nuclear submarine, and other maritime security and manufacturing.
