There are a lot of secrets in Ukraine and this guy knows quite a few of them, more on that next week.
In the meantime the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has done more than any other news organization to investigate 'ol Ihor's property interests in the USofA. From the Post-Gazette, August 25:
Federal grand jury probes Ihor Kolomoisky -- now jailed in Ukraine -- in major U.S. money laundering case
Under the vaulted ceilings of Pittsburgh's Grand Concourse restaurant, the partners of Ukraine oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky met to embark on a venture that would lead to the reopening of one of the most iconic steel mills in Ohio.
Warren Steel would become the cornerstone of the oligarch's ambitious plans to make his mark in the U.S. steel industry.
The business partners discussed the costs of firing up the furnace, hiring workers, and blasting metal that could be used in everything from cars and trucks to skyscrapers planned for some of the nation's largest cities.
But in the ensuing years, the giant factory turned out more than just cast steel.
U.S. prosecutors are now bearing down on the oligarch in a criminal case that could prompt a request for his extradition in the largest-ever money laundering investigation of the U.S. steel industry.
In a rare court filing, prosecutors revealed that a federal grand jury is now investigating Mr. Kolomoisky and others accused of concocting a scheme to move millions in stolen money from their country into the United States, where they purchased skyscrapers and steel factories.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, which detailed the flow of dollars into the United States in a 2021 investigation, has previously reported the government's criminal case against the once powerful oligarch.
But the Justice Department's filing in July represents the first time that prosecutors have disclosed the secret proceedings in a case that’s been cited by fraud experts as one of the most egregious examples of money laundering in the country.
Though the 61-year-old billionaire is now in detention in his native country for other financial crimes, he may be facing an even more difficult future in the United States.
The Justice Department declined to comment, but prosecutors are requesting the court to keep the findings of the grand jury under seal as they track the hundreds of millions that poured into the United States through shell companies controlled by Mr. Kolomoisky and fellow oligarch Gennadiy Bogolyubov....
