Google Co-Founder Seems To Have Fallen Off The Face Of The Earth (GOOG; EVIL)

From The Daily Mail, May 7:

US Virgin Islands can't find Google co-founder Larry Page to subpoena him in a lawsuit against JP Morgan Chase for 'enabling Epstein's sex-trafficking ring' - as prosecutors try to reach him through parent company Alphabet
  • The US Virgin Islands wants Google co-founder Larry Page to appear in court
  • Page has been tied to JPMorgan and Jeffrey Epstein over his pedophile ring
  • Prosecutors filed a motion to subpoena Page through Google-parent Alphabet

The US Virgin Islands is unable to subpoena Google co-founder Larry Page over potential ties to Jeffrey Epstein because he cannot be physically located, federal court filings reveal.

A motion filed by the attorney general for the US Virgin Islands said investigators  tried to identify a physical address at which Page, 50, could be personally summoned to appear in a court.

After identifying four possible addresses, none of which were 'valid', prosecutors are requesting the federal government allow Page to be summoned via Alphabet, Google's parent company, as he is still a member of its board.

The motion to subpoena Page by 'alternative' means was filed last Thursday and makes up part of a case in which the Virgin Islands alleges JPMorgan facilitated Epstein's sex trafficking ring by handling his payments to recruiters and victims. 

Page's whereabouts are largely unknown, though he was said in December to have spent the bulk of the COVID pandemic on one of his growing number of private islands - some of which are within the US Virgin Islands.

Page purchased Hans Lollik and its smaller neighboring island, Little Hans Lollik, in 2014 for $23 million....

....MUCH MORE

One of my favorite subpoena stories concerns Bill Browder in his third career.

Career #1 was pulling some pretty good money out of Russia

Career #2 was traveling the world advocating for Magnitsky Acts.

Career #3 was being the self-proclaimed Putin's enemy no.1 whom the Autocrat of all the Russias President of Russia wanted dead, dead, dead.

From a December 2019 post "Bill Browder Files Complaint With German Press Council Over Der Spiegel Magnitsky Story":

....I did check that the Magnitsky story wasn't by Der Spiegel's fantabulist and serial fabricator Claas Relotius but it's not. The Germans fired him and he remains fired.
Additionally, the magazine seems to have some  pretty solid documentary stuff on Magnitsky and Browder.
And then there is Mr. Browder's known reluctance to testify under oath about these matters although he seems willing to do so on other topics.

One thing that's always intrigued me is: If, as Mr. Browder says, he is Putin's "Enemy #1" and if, as he further claims, Putin wants him dead, Why isn't he dead?

Here's some interesting reading entitled "SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE:  INTERVIEW OF:  GLENN SIMPSON".
Yes, that Glenn Simpson.
In it we read a story that begins on page 42 of the transcript, Simpson talking about Browder:
1 ...He was willing to, you know, hand stuff off to the 
2 DOJ anonymously in the beginning and cause them to  
3 launch a court case against somebody, but he wasn't  
4 interesting [sic] in speaking under oath about, you know,  
5 why he did that, his own activities in Russia.  
6 So looking at the public record we determined  
7 that he did come to the United States frequently,  
8 and I discovered through public records that he  
9 seemed to own a house in Aspen, Colorado, a very  
10 expensive mansion, over $10 million, which he had 
11 registered in the name of a shell company in a  
12 clear attempt to disguise the ownership of the  
13 property. We were able to ascertain that he does  
14 use that property because he registered cars to  
15 that property with the Colorado DMV in the name of  
16 William Browder. 
17 So we began looking for public information  
18 about when he might be in Aspen, Colorado, and I  
19 found a listing on the Aspen Institute Website 
20 about an appearance he was going to make there in  
21 the summer of 2014. So we -- I served him a 
22 subpoena in the parking lot of the Aspen Institute  
23 in the summer of 2014 using two people -- two  
24 subcontractors. Actually, those other  
25 subcontractors were -- their names escape me, but I   
.
page 43
1 forgot about those. We can get you that. This is 
2 all in the Pacer court record, the public court  
3 record.  
4 In any event, the three of us served -- there  
5 was another subcontractor working for the law firm  
6 whose name I also forget. I did not retain him,  
7 but I was asked to work with him on this. He is a  
8 private investigator and we can get you his name.  
9 In any event, we served him the subpoena and he ran  
10 away. He dropped it on the ground and he ran away.  
11 He jumped in his car and went back to his mansion. 
12 At that point he tried to suppress -- tried  
13 to quash the subpoena on the grounds it hadn't been  
14 properly served. We didn't get a video, but there 
15 are sworn affidavits from my servers in the court  
16 record about the service. But he objected to it on  
17 a number of grounds. A, he continued to insist he  
18 had nothing to do with the United States and didn't  
19 come here very often even, though we caught him  
20 here, clearly has cars in Colorado. He also said  
21 that you can't serve a subpoena for a case in 
22 New York in the state of Colorado, it's outside the  
23 primary jurisdiction. He also began to raise  
24 questions about whether Baker Hostetler had a 
25 conflict of interest because of some previous work... 

So I'm thinking, if Glenn Simpson was able to find Mr. Browder without too much effort, the Russian FSB or GRU or whoever probably could as well, if they really wanted to, ya know?
