Stuff is finally happening: Mnuchin’s Treasury and the Russian Aluminum sanctions, Moscow Mitch’s Kentucky aluminum plant, and an FBI raid on Oleg Deripaska’s house. And prostitutes could have been involved, as well as poisoning a rival political candidate. So many reasons to obstruct justice. Also because Stormy Daniels and E. Jean Carroll are still relevant to previous guy and Biglygate.
The U.S. government in 2019 removed some Deripaska-linked companies from sanctions after he reduced his ownership stakes, but the United States maintained sanctions on Deripaska himself.
In a January 2020 letter to Deripaska’s lawyers, the U.S. Treasury Department justified sanctions by citing reports that Deripaska helped Putin launder money, the Financial Times reported. The department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control wrote that in 2016 Deripaska was “reportedly identified as one of the individuals holding assets and laundering funds on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin.” It said the businessman reportedly once canceled the IPO listing of a company, Gaz, to hide Putin’s money laundering.
What role, if any, Deripaska may have played in the 2016 U.S. presidential race remained one of the lingering mysteries of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s probe into Russian election interference.

Although the United States delisted Rusal when Deripaska shed holdings, European officials last December provided information to Washington indicating that Deripaska continued to be involved, Bloomberg News reported. The company and Deripaska denied the report, but U.S. officials were reviewing the information, Bloomberg said.

The Trump administration lifted the sanctions in January (2019) after Deripaska agreed to reduce his ownership stake in the Moscow-based company, the world's second-largest aluminum manufacturer
Two of the three votes needed to maintain the sanctions against goons like Deripaska came from senators representing a state into which his company was pumping money he'd obtained god knows where or how, and one of whom is the Majority Leader of the U.S. Senate into whose PAC Deripaska's partner dumped $3.5 million between 2015 and 2017. Oddly, one of the stories that has sunk like a stone over the past few years is the story of how much Russian ratfcking money went into Republican campaigns generally over the past few cycles.
Again, nobody knows what the ultimate sources of this money may be, but since Russia is a thoroughgoing thieves' paradise, anybody's guess is as good as anybody else's. But only a fool believes in accidents any more.

Russia cancels Kentucky aluminum plant after Moscow Mitch fails to throw election
Sep 10, 2019 "Moscow Mitch" McConnell stiffed Kentucky coal miners to fund Russia-linked aluminum plant: report
The late Russian vice-prime-minister was Sergey Prikhodko. He was one of the most powerful men in the country, but everyone will remember him as suspected lover of 20 y.o. Deripaska's prostitute Nastya Rybka.
