Part 2 The Biden Laptop... Business Related Crimes( 1 Of 2 )

From Marco Polo

II. BUSINESS-RELATED CRIMES

The following three sections of this Report are in order of their relative importance to the American citizenry. Naturally, the Biden family’s business crimes came first, as what the family sold—influence over the direction of public policy and access to the people who directed it (whether overtly or, as in many cases, covertly)—affects every American citizen, regardless of how he or she feels about, say, marijuana  laws  or  judicial  philosophy.  Said  differently,  the  family’s  numerous  sex  and  drug-related crimes are critical to understanding them, particularly their egregious hypocrisy and double standards; however, an impartial view of the situation clearly showed how their entanglements in international business and politics were the paramount national security threat on the laptop. In fact, the Bidens’ dealings  changed  the  course  of  history,  particularly America’s  relationship  with  its  most  formidable opponent: the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Do not take Marco Polo’s word for it; in this section, the exhibits themselves—many taken directly from the Biden Laptop—will confirm our statement.  

Joe’s  longtime  confidant  and  “wise  man”  who  replaced  him  in  the  Senate  when  he  became  vice president,  Ted  Kaufman,  described  the  environment  which  produced  these  business  crimes  (both large and small) as the “Delaware Way.” In fact, Kaufman credited Joe as “kind of the person who helped  create  the  Delaware  Way.” And  while  many  commentators    posit  that  Beau  was  the 308, 309 spitting image of his father, Hunter edged out Beau at Joe’s corruption tango. Indeed, Hunter’s entire life, not just his professional career, was a kaleidoscope of shell companies, large round-dollar wire 310 transfers, and corrupt foreign (and domestic) oligarchs.  American history is replete with white and 311 blue collar crime families, and the Bidens are a unique mix of both. The family was involved in both petty  and  elaborate financial  corruption  schemes,  eastern  European  energy  companies,  and 312 multimillion dollar “consulting” contracts with firms run by CCP-linked operatives. Said differently, shell companies are as common with the Bidens as shellfish off the coast of Nantucket, where the Bidens spend every Thanksgiving.  This section was written with the goal of cracking open these numerous 313 shells. The media—and the U.S. Congress—bathe in Bucket #1 below. Many so-called conservative writers  typically  reveal  findings  from  Bucket  #2,  but  Marco Polo  strove  to  write  a  comprehensive Report about Bucket #3—the bucket that really matters to the American people and their future. 

Sketchy or, in legalese, “raises the potential for a conflict of interest”

Bucket #1 

“Smell smoke from a fire”

Unethical and nepotistic, but not enough information to prove illegality

Bucket #2 

“See smoke from a fire”

Definitively illegal, with perhaps both civil and criminal penalties

Bucket #3 

“The fire is visible”

What did Bucket #3 contain after a comprehensive review of the Biden Laptop? Only a table with four columns adequately conveyed the contents. The business crimes listed below are in the order in 314 which they appear in the Report. Unless stated otherwise, Hunter was involved in the criminal act and those listed in the third column are his accomplices (or, in some cases, Hunter’s co-conspirator(s)).

When     Where(Venue)   Who (Accomplice(s))      What

01/08/2011           D.D.C.                     Devon Archer & Eric Schwerin       18 USC § 371 [ see pages 56-57, 58,59 for tables at link below ]

The vehicles through which the aforementioned crimes were committed are numerous. Nearly half of the entities listed in the table below are shell companies, which obfuscated  true ownership. They 315 are listed as they appear in the formation documents in the jurisdiction in which they were registered. [above tables]

The nonprofit   industrial complex served Hunter well as a resume booster and networking conduit: 316[above tables]

The business model for Hunter and Joe’s siblings was simple but required walking a high and delicate tightrope: sell Joe’s influence over the American government as its pResident (and previously as its vice  president  and  the  senior  Senator  from  Delaware)  and  execute  the  “Delaware  Way”  while attracting as little law enforcement attention as possible. This tightrope required scant knowledge in the  nitty-gritty  of  business  operations;  after  meticulously  reviewing  128,000+  emails  on  the  Biden Laptop, Marco Polo is confident in confirming that Hunter did almost nothing in the way of day-to-day business management. Instead, he served in puff positions  as a figurehead for an array of vanilla 317 organizations—such as the Center for National Policy—all the way down to the gutter of American politics:  lobbying  on  behalf  of  online  gambling  companies. One  of  Hunter’s  few  public  speaking 318 engagements was on 11/04/2015—he accepted an award on behalf of his deceased brother, Beau.319  [p59@pdf] 

FIXERS 

So, who actually made all of this work? An operation of this size cannot be managed by one family alone. The Bidens’ band of loyal fixers is extremely large. We explored the key ones: 

KEVIN MORRIS 

The  husband  of  “one  of  the  most  powerful  women  in  the  entertainment industry” paid off a nearly $3M bill for back taxes that Hunter owed to the IRS. 320 Kevin Morris—the husband of Gaby Morgerman, an agent for Miley Cyrus and other  former  A-list  celebrities—has  been  a  legal  fixer  for  the  upper  brass  in Hollywood for decades. When not gallivanting around the globe with his client, Matthew McConaughey, Morris negotiates   on behalf of South park’s creators, 321 whose  show  has  made  the Pennsylvania  native  wealthy.  On  the  side  of  those moneymaking  endeavors,  Morris  threatens    those  who he  sees  as  Hunter’s 322 opponents   and cooks up ridiculous PR and media strategies for his defense.323,324 [p60pdf]

One  of  the  strategies  that  Morris  employed—with  the  help  of  filmmakers,  Jason  Kohn  and  Robb Bindler—involved  infiltrating  the  set  of  the aforementioned  biopic,  My  Son  Hunter.  Morris  took advantage of the kind but gullible producer of the biopic, an immigrant named Phelim McALEER.325 [p61 pdf]]

Based on the obviously deceptive tactics that Morris and his co-schemers   perpetrated, McALEER 326 filed a complaint with the State Bar of California—Morris broke three codified rules, at the very least.[p62pdf]

ARCHERS: DEVON AND KRISTA 

A convicted felon who was sentenced   to a year in federal 327 prison,  Devon  Archer  has  been  by  Hunter’s  side  for decades,  as  they  overlapped  at  Yale  in  the  late  1990s. A former Abercrombie & Fitch model from Long Island, Archer was  described  by  Hunter  as  his  “best  friend  in  business.” Archer  was  the  vice  chairman  of  finance  for  John  Kerry’s failed  2004  presidential  campaign,  where  he  teamed  up  with  his  college  pal  Chris  Heinz,  Kerry’s  stepson.  Hunter and  Archer  traversed  the  globe  together  with  Secret  Service protection  and  secured  state-backed  financing  from communist and post-Soviet regimes. No business risk was off the table for the two, which eventually scared away Heinz (and others). In fact, Archer even used his son’s grade school assignment as a pretext to meet with Joe at the White 328 House.   In Hunter’s mind, Devon was a part of the family: “That’s the way Biden 329 are  different  and  you  are  a  Biden.  It’s the  price  of  power and the people questioning you truly have none where as you do through perseverance and poise"[p63@pdf]

ERIC SCHWERIN 

Hunter  also  met  Democrat  political  and  business  operative,  Eric  Schwerin,  in  the  late  1990s  when  they  were  both  at  the  Commerce  Department,  where  Hunter was the “Executive Director of E-Commerce Policy Coordination” (even though he had zero experience in e-commerce).   The partnership they forged 330 in government bled into the so-called “private sector,” although their work after their  stint  in  the  executive  branch  was  almost  completely  untethered  to  free markets. Functionally, Eric was a well-paid babysitter for Hunter: he maintained and curated guest lists for White House functions, shared a joint bank account with  Joe  and  paid  his  bills,  and  negotiated the  settlement  and  alimony 331 agreement  with  Hunter’s  first  wife,  Kathleen.  

Schwerin  was  deeply  embedded  in  Hunter’s  personal  life  and  the  Biden  political  machinery  for  nearly  twenty  years,  even  sitting  next  to  Joe  in  public  at  campaign  events. For  his  handler  services,  Schwerin  was 332 rewarded with a patronage gig: membership on the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad.    However,  by  January  2019,  Hunter was  threatening  Schwerin  (and  their  aide 333 Joan Mayer) with a lawsuit and nondisclosure agreement if Schwerin touched “one dime” of their Q4 Distribution from Eudora Global, LLC lest Schwerin lose his stake in their broker- dealer firm RSPI 334[p64pdf]

Jeff Cooper

A two-time   failed congressional candidate from Illinois, Jeff Cooper made a 335 small  fortune  from  the  asbestos  litigation  gravy  train  with  his  old  law  firm,  SimmonsCooper. He finagled his way into the inner Biden orbit by sending legal work  to  Beau  Biden  in  the  aughts;  at  that  time,  Joe  was—conveniently,  for Cooper and his partners—blocking asbestos litigation reform in the Senate.336 Joe  made  sure  to  pay  back Beau’s  benefactor  in  more  ways  than  one  by hosting Cooper  and  his  soon-to-be ex-wife  for  a  state  dinner  at the  White 337 House with the South Korean president. Cooper was instrumental to Hunter’s 338 businesses and appeared to provide the acumen required to manage them.339 Along with frequently sending wire transfers to Hunter, Cooper rode on Air Force Two when the pair tried to broker a deal with Carlos SLIM, the world’s then-richest man.340[p65pdf]

WALKERS: ROB AND BETSY

 

The  husband-and-wife  duo  of  Rob  and  Betsy  Walker  has been  in  the  shadows  of  American  public  life  for  three decades.  They  have,  in  their  own  way,  been  loyal  foot soldiers  for  both  the  Clinton  and  Biden  political  syndicates. Hailing from Arkansas, Rob worked on the Clinton campaign and in Bill’s administration in the 1990s, and Betsy worked as the  personal  assistant  to  Jill  Biden  (Jill)  through  2014.  The most  accurate  portrait  of  Rob’s  role  was  described  by  Rob himself:  “I’ve  generally  been  acting  as  a  surrogate  for  Hunter  around  the country and abroad pursuing opportunities and…. I see myself continuing to do that.” Aside from being Hunter’s globetrotting stand-in, Walker has traversed 341 Latin America with Bill Clinton. Pilot Growth Equity, a firm owned, in part, by Walker, also invested heavily  in  a  pandemic  tracking  company  called  Metabiota,  the  value  of  which  has  appreciated significantly since COVID surfaced.   After her time working for Jill, Betsy ran a design business.342[p66pdf]

Hunter used Rob for facilitating payments, including and especially illegal ones, that Hunter did not want to be tied to directly. Rob’s shell company received   $6 million from a CCP-linked firm, State 344 Energy HK Limited, one month after Joe left the vice presidency. A U.S. Senate report described it as such: “On February 23, 2017, and March 1, 2017, a Shanghai-based company called State Energy HK Limited    sent  two  wires,  each  in  the  amount  of $3,000,000,  to  a  bank  account  for  Robinson 345 Walker LLC.”    A  Suspicious  Activity  Report  (SAR) noted  that  it  “was  unclear  what  the  true  346, 347 purpose  is  behind  these  transactions  and  who  the  ultimate  beneficiary  is.” In  short,  Hunter 348 laundered money through Walker’s bank account and emailed Walker days before a $3 million wire  from YE’s company hit Walker’s account: “Can you do another $20k to my account please? ”[p67pdf]

MEL MONZACK 

For over five decades, Mel Monzack has been behind the scenes of the Biden political operation. Based on the contents of the Biden Laptop, Mel was the 349 most  discreet  mover  and  shaker,  with  a  digital  trail  that  Hunter  should  have envied. Monzack and Joe co-founded a law firm   in Wilmington in the early 350 1970s and he has been, since 1987, Joe’s power of attorney.   He also served 351 as the treasurer for Joe’s failed 2008 presidential campaign, which ended with  multiple  guilty  pleas,  hefty fines,  and  Monzack’s  admission  of  fraud  to  the Federal Election Commission. Monzack also served as treasurer for Beau 352,353 Biden’s Attorney General campaign, along with other campaign slush funds.354 The  back  scratching  has  gone  both  ways:  Monzack  received  a  shoutout  during  Joe’s  Presidential  Medal  of  Freedom  ceremony. He—along  with  his  wife,  Ann,  who  is  a  fundraiser for Jewish 355,356 groups—also attended a state dinner at the White House in 2011 for the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party.   Monzack’s daughter, Nina, worked at the Delaware Department of 357, 358 Justice when Beau Biden was the Attorney General of Delaware. His son, Juddson, is an overt 359 supporter    of  a Marxist organization  called  Black  Lives  Matter.  Mel’s niece,  Elyssa  Monzack, 360,361 happens to be the current chief of staff in a division at the National Institutes of Health(NIH) 362

Monzack’s law firm was the registered agent for both Joe and Jill’s S-corps and Ashley Biden’s 363,364 sweatshirt grift, “Livelihood.” The Bidens’ S-corps, which Monzack organized, shielded  them 365,366,367 from hundreds of thousands of dollars in income taxes. Monzack’s firm is also the registered agent 368 for the Robinson Walker LLC which, as previously noted, received $6M from a CCP-linked entity 369 less than one month after Joe ended his term as vice president. The point is this: From the most sensitive and important matters  (power  of  attorney  and campaign treasurer)  for the Bidens  to  the mundane (insurance bookkeeper), Monzack was always there. Mel was hardly mentioned—until now. [p68-69pdf]

The  laptop  confirmed  the  close  relationship  that Monzack  shared  with  the  entire  clan,  from  wiring money to Hunter on Joe’s behalf (Hunter responded, “Thx love you”) to legal issues with the family’s  so-called charity, the Beau  Biden  Foundation  for  the Protection of  Children. Monzack  also 370 managed trusts based in the Cook Islands with David Walsh I, another former Biden law partner.371,372[p69pdf]

GEORGE MESIRES 

The  Biden  brothers  and  George  Mesires    go  back decades,  as  Mesires 373 attended the Syracuse University College of Law in the early 1990s at the same  time  as Beau.  A  graduate  of  the  tony  Deerfield  Academy  prep school  in  Massachusetts,  George  is  also  a  former assistant  attorney  general  of  New York.   Mesires is from a family of lawyers whose love, according to George 374 himself in an iMessage to Hunter, “was conditioned.” George’s sister, Christina  Mesires Fournaris, is a highfalutin lawyer in Philadelphia at Morgan Lewis.375 Mesires was often deputized to publicly and privately lie on Hunter’s behalf 376 on a wide range of issues—from Ukrainian oligarchs and Chinese private equity fund remunerations to Archer’s shell corporations and excuses to Kathleen for why Hunter’s alimony payments to her were repeatedly late. Hunter and Mesires   had an extremely 377 unconventional relationship and often talked about the latest rap songs and Hunter’s many operating agreement disputes  with Schwerin  during  the same conversation. For  example,  on 01/02/2019, Hunter told Mesires,  his $845/hour  lawyer (and  surfing partner), that a  song entitled,  “break  da 378 law,” was in an album that described Hunter’s “life without exaggeration for the past 3 years.” 379[p71pdf]

To demonstrate just how unconventional this particular lawyer-client relationship was between the two men, consider that Hunter took after his father   by using an extremely pejorative term for Blacks 380 four different times on two separate occasions.   In the morning on 12/13/2018, Hunter complained 381 to George about his fees: “Because  nigga you better not be charging me Hennessy rates,” to which Mesires jovially shot back: “That made me snarf my coffee.” This sordid exchange between the pResident’s son and his attorney already has an entry on the tongue-in-cheek site, Urban Dictionary. 

A few weeks later, on 01/01/2019, Hunter used the term in a statement describing his atheism: “nigga did you just use a fictional character [God] from the imagination of the collective frightened and my dead brother’s unconditional love is what I should rely on and my kids aren’t children George .”382[p72pdf]

JIMMY BULGER 

In the preceding section, we compared the Biden political syndicate to a mafia—that comparison was certainly not hyperbole.  From  the  legendary  white-collar  crime  boss John  Galanis  to  Boston’s  Winter  Hill  Gang,  Hunter’s direct and  indirect connections  with  mobsters  runs 383,384 the gamut. In fact, the nephew of the infamous leader of the  Winter  Hill  Gang,  “Whitey”  Bulger,  was one of  Hunter’s key business partners. James Bulger, known as “Jimmy,”  was  actually  named  after  his  serial  killer  uncle, who  was  convicted    of  murdering  at  least  eleven people. 385 Jimmy Bulger sat on the board of BHR with Hunter.   BHR 386 was  the  state-backed  Chinese investment  fund  that  was  registered  just twelve days after Hunter joined his father on Air Force Two for a visit to China in December 2013. Jimmy’s firm, Thornton Group LLC, is deeply embedded with CCP cells in the United States and abroad. Bulger and Hunter can 387,388 be seen below relaxing with XIE Guoliang, who called Hunter a “close friend.” 

Incredibly, in spite of the serial killing, Jimmy declared that Whitey was “not the  monster  they  made him  out  to  be.” One  writer  did  not  mince  words 389 about  Jimmy’s  father,  the  longtime  Democrat  leader  of  the  Massachusetts Senate  who  refused  to cooperate  with  federal  authorities:  “The  Ted  Kaczynski brother decided it was more important that his brother be captured  and not kill any more than to stay loyal to him… Bill Bulger [Whitey’s brother], in the face of a God-awful amount of horror, has made a dIfferent choice" 390 [p73pdf]

KEY CONFIDANTES 

Steve Ricchetti

Ron Klain

Mike and Tom Donilon

Catherine  Russell

The preeminent foot soldiers of the Biden political syndicate—those who have served on the inside of government—have a combined 130 years of service to Joe. The day-to-day operations  of  the  American  executive  branch  are  being handled  by  these  extremely guarded  operators,  all  of whom  have  stuck  with  Joe  through  his  multiple plagiarism scandals  in  the  80s,  campaign  finance violations  in  the  aughts,  and  his  (basement) campaign in 2020.  The  chairman  of  that  campaign  was  Steve Ricchetti,  a  fixture  in  influential circles on the left since the early days of the Clinton White House, where he was hip-to-hip with John Podesta.   Ricchetti has relished his new position in the Biden 391 administration, where he has secured employment for three   of his children under the 392 watchful eye   of Ron Klain, the chief of staff at the White House. The “chief strategist” 393 for the aforementioned campaign was Mike Donilon, who has been described as Joe’s  “conscience.”   Mike’s brother, Tom Donilon, was Obama’s national security advisor.394,395 Tom’s  wife,  Catherine  Russell,  was  the  longtime  chief  of  staff  to  Jill  and  was  Joe’s  director of the White House personnel office for the first year of his pResidency; Russell became the executive director of UNICEF in February 2022.   

However, Ted Kaufman 396 is in a league of his own, having served on Joe’s first Senate campaign in the 70s 397 and was both his successor in the U.S. Senate and chairman of the Biden Foundation 397[p74pdf]

CORE OF THE CRIMES 

Several small volumes   have been written about the Biden Laptop and the scandals therein, and 399 rightfully so. However, most of those volumes have been primarily dedicated to the aforementioned  Buckets #1 & #2, along with the family’s moral depravity, while paying special attention to Hunter and Hallie.  What  these  exposés omitted  were  the  hundreds  of  documented  crimes (both felonies  and misdemeanors)  and  the  necessary information  to  thoroughly  expose  and  prosecute  them. The Bidens’  nepotism,  although  egregious,  was  not easily  actionable  under  U.S.  law. These  omissions have served as a classic limited hangout for the family, who benefitted from the milquetoast research put forward by most of the press. Nearly everyone who has written about these matters has buried the lede by missing—like ships passing in the dead of night—a statute that was written with Hunter and his ilk in mind: the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). The FARA requires those acting as 400 an agent for a “foreign principal” to register with the DOJ. FARA does not prevent any otherwise legal  relationship or transaction between the parties; it merely requires the agent to register and declare for  which foreign principal he is acting as an agent. Because the bar to comply with the FARA is so low,  the penalties for violating the statute are relatively steep, including fines and up to five years in prison. 

Hunter and his business partners flagrantly violated this law for nearly a decade. Do not take Marco Polo’s word for it; the exhibits in this section will clearly illustrate the aforementioned “5 Ws.” Even with the FARA’s low bar of mere disclosure, the DOJ OIG in the Obama-Biden regime released a report detailing how the DOJ lacked “a comprehensive FARA enforcement strategy.”   The OIG  401,402 explicitly stated that many FBI agents do not even understand the law and are frustrated with the lack of guidance  and  overall  communication  between  the  FBI and  the  National  Security  Division  in  the DOJ. Nevertheless, this lack of “a comprehensive FARA enforcement strategy” did not stop the DOJ  from using this exact law to prosecute Paul Manafort.   In a sickeningly ironic twist, Joe’s feds 403, 404 used the FARA to “investigate” Rudy Giuliani’s quest to expose the Bidens’ crimes in the Ukraine.405[p75pdf]

Although  repeatedly  misattributed to  Saul  Alinsky,  Joe’s apparatchiks  in  the  FBI  were  actually 406 following Hunter’s modus operandi taken   from Joseph GOEBBELS: accuse others of what you are, 407 in  fact,  guilty of  doing or  covering  up. The  Bidens  have  blamed  their  laptop debacle  on  the 408,409 Russians, Giuliani, and other actors supposedly working at the behest of foreign principals, for which  they have no evidence.   At the very same time, the Biden clan and their partners   were actually 410, 411 unregistered agents for a plethora of foreign principals. The irony was not lost on Schwerin after he 412 read an article about Obama’s chief of staff: “I wonder why we stress about this [FARA] so much.” 413[p76pdf]

SUBPOENA—MAY 2019 

The Bidens and those in their orbit had good reasons to worry—more than a million of them, in fact,  as their financial statements and wire transfers revealed. During the course of writing this Report, a  whistleblower—after realizing a purposeful delay from the DOJ was afoot—approached Marco Polo with  a  copy  of  a  grand  jury subpoena (an  “external  referral”  in  financial  compliance  industry 414 parlance) issued by the aforementioned U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware, David Weiss. The whistleblower was a party to the subpoena, dated 05/15/2019, which sought Hunter and his partners’ financial  transactions  and  other  business  records.  The cover  letter  to  the  subpoena—which  was  signed  by Assistant  U.S.  Attorney  (AUSA)  Jamie  McCall—bore  the name  of  Lesley  Wolf,  who,  because of her husband’s employment   at Penn, should have recused herself per 28 CFR § 45.2. 415, 416[p77pdf]

Wolf   issued the wide-ranging subpoena in case 19-3-LFWS-V-32, seeking records from Joe’s son 417 and brother, Jimmy. Fifteen companies, mostly shells used for money laundering, were included on the document. Predictably, most of the companies listed below will be on exhibits in this Report. The  order demanded all transfers emanating to and from Account #  453365557784 at the Bank of China 418 (BKCHCNBJ), presumably alluding to Foreign Bank Account Registration violations (31 USC § 5314)  that Hunter  and  his  partners  committed.  In  fact, the  DOJ  used  this  exact  statute  to  indict  Paul Manafort two  years  earlier:  “United  States  citizens  who have authority  over  certain  foreign  bank  accounts  --  whether or  not  the  accounts  are  set  up  in  the  names  of nominees  who  act  for  their  principals  --  have  reporting obligations  to  the  United  States.” If  the  respondent from JP  Morgan 419 Chase had questions about the subpoena, they were to contact IRS Special Agent Joe Ziegler.   JP 420 Morgan was directed to send the responsive documents to Stefania Roca, a registered   Democrat. 421

With  this  subpoena,  we  have  definitive  proof  of  a miscarriage  of  justice—because  Marco Polo possessed a copy of the Biden Laptop, we can be certain that the bank, when it responded to the subpoena, would have produced evidence of multiple felonies. Regardless of whether it was Barr or  Weiss who made the call to blatantly slow-walk the investigation, someone must be held accountable.[p78pdf]

The lack of accountability can be explained, in part, by the makeup and presumed biases of the law enforcement investigative team and their associates. For example, Ziegler’s partner is connected—at least socially—with Joe’s Monkeypox spokesman, Demetre Daskalakis, likely from Demetre’s stint at the CDC in Atlanta, where Ziegler and his partner are based.   The wife   of Jamie McCall is also an  422, 423 ardent supporter of the Marxist-inspired Black Lives Matter riots, which Joe heavily promoted in 2020.[p79pdf] 

SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY REPORTS

Marco Polo  was  also  provided  two  SARs  which  had been  submitted  to  the  U.S.  Department  of  Treasury as a supplement to JP Morgan Chase’s response to the aforementioned subpoena.   The 424 SARs revealed the international business networks and human trafficking rings that Hunter and his  associates facilitated and patronized. More detail will be provided later in the Report, particularly in the  SEX-RELATED  CRIMES  section,  but,  in  the interest  of  complete  transparency,  the  SARs  are pasted below as-is. Footnotes and highlights were added for reference and clarification purposes: 

SAR #1 

JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. (“JPMC”) and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“JPS”) is filing this Suspicious Activity Report (“SAR”) to report transactions involving current, former and non-customers of JPMC and  J.P.  Morgan Securities  LLC;  ROBERT  HUNTER  BIDEN  (“ROBERT”), DEVON  D. ARCHER 425 (“DEVON”),  and THORSDALE FIDUCIARY AND  GUARANTY  COMPANY  LTD (“THORSDALE”), 426 ERIC  D  SCHWERIN    (“ERIC”), ROSEMONT  SENECA  BOHAI  LLC,    ROSEMONT SENECA 427,428 ADVISORS, OWASCO P.C (“OWASCO”), BURISMA HOLDINGS LIMITED (“BURISMA”), and BOHAI HARVEST  RST  (SHANGHAI)  EQUITY  INVESTMENT  FUND  MANAGEMENT  CO  LTD    (“BOHAI 429 HARVEST”)  for  93  wires  between  02/03/2014  and 08/02/2019  totaling  $2,461,962.60. The  SAR  is being filed to report wire activity involving parties linked to a Politically Exposed Person (“PEP”) 430 with negative media for possible political corruption; as well as, alleged business conflicts involving  related companies and individuals.  

After receipt of an external referral, JPMC conducted a review of focal subjects ROBERT, DEVON, 431 ERIC, OWASCO,  ROSEMONT  SENECA  ADVISORS, ROSEMONT SENECA  BOHAI  LLC,  and BOHAI HARVEST. No counterparties will be listed as subjects in the filing because the transaction  activity for the counterparties is expected activity, with the exception of THORSDALE, who was listed as a subject in a prior SAR with DEVON.  

Internal records revealed ROBERT is a former JPMC customer. Research revealed he is an American  lawyer and PEP, as he is the second son of former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden. Negative media  was found on Robert for alleged business conflicts. For example, ROBERT worked for a U.S.-based company which received monthly transfers exceeding $166,000 per month from BURISMA (a natural gas company in the Ukrainian oil and gas market) while the vice president was leading the U.S. policy with  the Ukrainian  government.  (ijr.com/biden-questioned-after-forcing-out-ukrainian-official- investigating-his-son).432

Internal records revealed DEVON is a former JPMC and JPS Customer. Research revealed Devon is Robert’s business associate and has been convicted of conspiracy and securities fraud. According to the SDNY press release, Devon and two other defendants were convicted of orchestrating a scheme to defraud investors and a Native American tribal entity of tens of millions of dollars. However, in 2018  a  federal  judge  overturned  the  conviction.

Third  party  web  presence  revealed  OWASCO    is  a  law firm  associated  with  ROBERT.  However, 435 very little information could be found on the law firm. 

ROBERT,  along  with  DEVON  and  ERIC,  founded  several companies  using  the  name  Rosemont  Seneca. ROSEMONT  SENECA ADVISORS  and  ROSEMONT SENECA  BOHAI  LLC  appear  to  be  related companies in the investment field.  

There are allegations that ROBERT received funds from the Chinese government that coincided with  the  former  vice president  negotiating  issues  with  China.

Although ERIC is not directly listed in any of the wires included in the SAR filing, internal records revealed ERIC is listed as the only signer for ROSEMONT SENECA ADVISORS. As it is unknown if  ERIC is the signer of the external account for ROSEMONT SENECA ADVISORS, no account will be associated to him in this SAR filing.  

Per web presence, BURISMA is a natural gas firm that appointed ROBERT to its board of directors in 2014.437

Per web presence, BOHAI HARVEST is ROBERT’S investment company in China that has pooled money, largely from state-owned venture capital, to buy or invest in a range of industries in the U.S. and China. BOHAI HARVEST allegedly operates and works with a number of funds and the structure brought  ROBERT  into  close proximity  to  influential  Chinese  government and  business  figures. 438

SAR #2 

JPMorgan Chase Bank (JPMC) is filing this Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) which originated from an  external referral  for  transactions  involving  non-JPMC  accounts held  by  a  Politically  Exposed Person (PEP) who remitted funds to various JPMC and non-JPMC customers, some of the recipients have ties to the adult entertainment industry, while others were unknown, or were listed in prior SAR filings  related  to  human  trafficking  (HT).  Additionally, the  source  of  funds  for  the  transactions  is unknown and inconsistent with the known line of business. This activity was transacted by non-JPMC  customers  ROBERT HUNTER  BIDEN  (“HUNTER”)  and  his  law  firm  OWASCO PC. Activity  being reported totals $149,843.00 (rounded up) between the dates of 10/24/2016 and 05/10/2019. 

OWASCO PC was identified to be a sole proprietorship law firm owned by HUNTER and established in 2006. Per internet research, the law firm specializes in intellectual property and international law. HUNTER  is  a  former JPMC customer  who  previously  held  a  home  mortgage  that was  paid  off  in 2017, as well as a credit card that was closed by JPMC due to non-payment in 2016. 

OWASCO  PC  (WELLS  FARGO  #9084065142)  and HUNTER  (using  unknown  account,  as  well  as WELLS FARGO  #729109035738578)  sent  electronic  fund transfers  (EFT)  and  checks  totaling  $149,842.44 to 13 JPMC customers and non-customers between 10/24/2016 and 05/10/2019. Two of  the JPMC customers were listed in prior SAR filings by JPMC reporting transactions consistent with possible Human Trafficking which are detailed below. Also, three of the JPMC Customers have KYC  and/or public media and social media ties to the adult entertainment industry. The other recipients have  no  identifiable relationship  with  either  HUNTER  or  OWASCO  PC  which  would  explain  the  activity being reported. 

ANNA DEKHTIAR   (JPMC 356067030 (closed 06/14/2019)) is a Miami FL non-resident alien and 445 Ukrainian citizen. KYC reflects student born in 1995. She received a wire for $5,100 on 12/10/2018 from OWASCO PC which was reported in SAR_NA_114256858 filed on 04/19/2019. On the same day, 12/10/2018 HUNTER also sent $1,300 to ANNA DEKHTIAR via three (3) EFTs. The funds ANNA DEKHTIAR  received  from  OWASCO  PC  and  HUNTER  were  subsequently  remitted  to  Oksana Naratovska  located  in  the  Ukraine via  a  $7,000  wire  on  12/13/2018.  The  wire  to  Oksana 446 Naratovska  and  Oksana  Naratovska  were  reported  under  the  prior  SAR  filing  and  are  only  being discussed here to show the full flow of funds. 

OLESIA KUDASHKINA   (JPMC 270297812, closed on 04/30/2019) is a Russian citizen and [a] non-447 resident alien residing in Manhattan, NY. She [was] born in 1984 and listed “Zara” as her employer. 448 She received an EFT from HUNTER for $1200.00 on 03/11/2019. Those funds were subsequently included in a wire to an individual in Russia. This activity was reported under SAR_NA_124521834 filed on 07/16/2019, but is also being included in this filing to show the full source and use of funds.449

PAOLA A MARTINEZ   (JPMC 266779283), ZOE G KESTAN  (JPMC 755098626) and LEHUA M 450,451 ALAMA-JORDAN   (JPMC 290390167) each appear to be in the adult entertainment industry and 452 are receiving payments from HUNTER and OWASCO PC. It is unclear what relationship HUNTER or OWASCO  PC  have  with these  individuals,  and  based  on  public  media  it  appears possible  the payments may be associated to prostitution or adult entertainment services. 

PAOLA A MARTINEZ is a NY resident, and employed at Scores NY   a high end gentleman’s club. 453 She received three (3) quick pays for $3500.00 from Hunter between 12/28/2017 and 03/26/2018. 

ZOE G KESTAN is a NY resident, and employed as “freelance.” Per internet research, she is a social media influencer and adult entertainer. She received six (6) quick pays for $6250.00 from HUNTER between 03/29/2018 and 11/20/2018. 

LEHUA  M  ALMA-JORDAN    is  a  CA  resident,  and  is employed  with  “Cali  Girls,”  a  gentleman’s 454  club. She received two (2) wires totaling $6,000.08 from OWASCO PC between 07/24/2018 and 455 08/27/2018,  and  three  (3)  quick pays  for  $2500.00  from  HUNTER  between  08/27/2018  and 10/05/2018. 

Erin  N  Straughter is  a  CA  resident  currently  employed with  “FSS  Management.”  Between  June 456 2018  and October  2018,  Erin  N  Straughter  was  employed  by OWASCO  PC  as  evidenced  by  her receipt of bi-weekly payroll remittances from OWASCO PC. However, during this same period of time Erin N Straughter also received large round dollar wires from OWASCO PC which referenced “new 457 hire,”  “8k  wage,”  “10k  golf  member,”  and “Pay.”  Erin  N  Straughter  received  five  (5)  wires totaling $44,500.08 in a 4 month period between 06/12/2018 and 10/02/2018. 

ANNA DEKHTIAR, OLESIA KUDASHKINA, PAOLA A MARTINEZ,   ZOE G KESTAN,   and LEHUA 458,459 M ALMA-JORDAN will be listed as subjects because they were either: (1) listed as subjects in prior SAR filings for transactions consistent with possible human trafficking; or (2) for their association to 460 the adult entertainment industry and potential association with prostitution. … 461

…linked to negative media that alleged potential corruption, which included subjects HUNTER and OWASCO  PC.  The reported  activity  occurred  between  02/03/2014  and 08/02/2019  totaling $2,461,962.60. 

SAR_NA_114256858 filed on 04/19/2019 for possible structuring, foreign wires and funding derived  from  an individual  tied  to  the  escort  industry  transacted  by ANNA  DEKHTIAR  occurring  between  11/14/2018 and 03/01/2019 totaling $274,873.00. OWASCO PC was also a subject in this SAR. 

SAR_NA_102479763  filed  on  11/30/2018  ($267,887.00  between  04/24/2018  and  10/09/2018),  SAR_NA_111820881  filed  on  03/20/2019  ($134,810.00  between  01/10/2019  and  03/01/2019)  and SAR_NA_124521834  filed  on  07/16/2019  ($503,420.00  between  03/19/2016  and  07/03/2019) reported  structuring  and  possible  human  trafficking  activity  transacted  by  OLESIA  KUDASHKINA.  OWASCO PC was also listed as a subject in SAR_NA_124521834 on 07/16/2019.

SAR CORROBORATION: A SMALL SAMPLE 

Because  Marco Polo  did  not  have  access  to  the attached  CSV  files  alluded  to  in  the  SARs, corroborating every transaction listed on the SARs with the Biden Laptop’s contents was not feasible. However, we were able to corroborate many of the transactions. Below are a just couple of them: 

Confirmed  by  a  request  sent  to  Hunter  via  Zelle in  his  emails,  a  female  featured  in  SAR  #2 464 requested  a  commensurate  amount  around  the  front  end  of  the  time  period  listed  in  the  SAR. Additionally,  a  .numbers  document  on  the  laptop  entitled,  “Checking 2RHB,”  featured  a  transaction indicating that Hunter paid the female $1,400 on 11/21/2017. Verification of the transaction is below: [SEE PAGE 87 ON PDF LINK]

The relationship between Hunter and the female   shown below was an egregious ethical lapse, as 465 iMessages between the two revealed that Hunter would make up for the female’s “back pay” if—and  only if—she performed sexual acts in person or via FaceTime. The Wells Fargo transactions featured below (from Hunter’s business brokerage account) were initiated only after the female traveled from Los Angeles to D.C., where Hunter and the female engaged in a multi-day (photographed) sex binge.[PAGES 88-89 for next paragraph]  

In the Nation’s capital, Hunter solicited—and took explicit photos of—a female who was described in SAR  #2,  which was,  as  a  reminder,  submitted  to  the  U.S.  Department of Treasury. This  particular solicitation will also appear in the NON-CONSENSUAL PORNOGRAPHY subsection of this Report. 

Hunter clearly violated the federal statute in question and he paid for the female’s airfare to D.C.466,467[ page 90]

CHINA 

Hunter  viewed  himself  as  an  unfulfilled  artist,  and  he said  as  much  in  his  semi-fictional  memoir, Beautiful Things. In fact, art was the “only thing” to have “kept [Hunter] sane.” It was no surprise, then, for Marco Polo to discover that—when analyzing over 128,000 emails on the Biden Laptop—almost  none of Hunter’s free time or private conversations were about business strategy or private equity market entry ideation. You will recall that Hunter graduated with a bachelor’s degree in history, wrote a poem, of all things, for his application to Yale Law School, and did not even attempt to enter high finance until his dad was preparing to be vetted for the V.P. slot by Obama (after Obama’s folks told Joe’s  son  to  drop  his  shameless registered  lobbying  grift).  When  Hunter  was  gifted  a portion  of  a  hedge  fund  in  2006  called  Paradigm  by  a trusty  donor  to  Joe  (the  aforementioned  Jeff  Cooper), former executives at Paradigm testified in a lawsuit that Hunter and his uncle, Jimmy, had absolutely  no clue what they were doing. The vignettes   offered in Lotito v. Biden were a perfect illustration 468,469 of the chasm that existed between Hunter’s actual business acumen and the coveted positions he held for decades. In fact, after Hunter and Jimmy conducted a takeover of Paradigm and fired the incumbent leader, Joe’s brother assured the rest of the employees with the following pep talk: “Don’t worry about investors. We’ve got people all around the world who want to invest in Joe Biden. We’ve got investors lined up in a line of [Boeing] 747s filled with cash ready to invest in this company.”470

With that verified principle in mind—Hunter’s employment was untethered to his natural or cultivated abilities—we explored the Bidens’ financial entanglements with the communist Chinese. You can think about those entanglements in two tranches, or deals, with a plethora of interjecting people splattering the  periphery.  Other  writers have  done  a  tremendous  job  of  explaining  the  obvious conflicts  of 471 interest  emanating  from  these  two deals;  Marco Polo  was  focused  on  the  verifiable  crimes 472 committed in the course of facilitating and leveraging these deals. Immediately after Hunter, Archer,  and  Kerry’s stepson  (Chris  Heinz)  established  their  influence peddling  firms  with  variations  of  the name Rosemont Seneca, they were courted by the financial elite in China who—according to China’s own  laws—serve  at  the  direction  of  the  CCP.

With  zero  discernible  quantitative  skills,  Hunter 473 secured multi million dollar carve outs with the Chinese state-backed entity, BHR, and the CCP’s crown jewel overseeing their One Belt One Road (OBOR) project, an energy conglomerate called CEFC. 

A debate over whether Hunter and his business partners violated the FARA (and/or conspired to do so) was made simpler when one of them—Archer, in this particular case—used the precise wording in an  email  to  the  other partners:  “He  [ZONG  Qinghou]  came  to  NYS  [New  York State]  looking  for  powdered milk and we’ve done an initial pitch with him in NYC on Real Estate. 

China’s richest man, literally. We’re going to do a follow-on real estate pitch and just general ‘we can be your agent in 474 US’ convo.” The last line confirmed the group had the unregistered agent of a foreign principal game down to a science, as Archer did not need to elaborate on what his “agent in US convo” with ZONG would  entail.  Before flying to  the  middle  kingdom,  Archer  snagged  three  copies  of Joe’s  book,  Promises to Keep,to hand out to ZONG and other big wigs at two state-backed entities: China 475 International Trust and Investment Corporation (CITIC) and China Investment Corporation (CIC).476,477

As noted, Hunter’s lobbying did not stop when Joe became vice president—he merely (and illegally) stopped registering. He violated lobbying laws by assuring Randy Russell   of his (unregistered, and 478 therefore illegal) back channels to the CCP: “I just had dinner with the Chinese DCM [Deputy Chief of Mission, DENG Hongbo] here in DC and we’ve developed a little bit of a relationship- so once the  visa is issued I can contact him directly.” But before Hunter pulled out the big guns, he offered to 479 advocate on Russell’s behalf to John Kerry’s aide-de-camp, David Wade, and/or someone in Joe’s  entourage: “Should I have someone from jrb’s office weigh in or is that overkill. And/or should I send email or call personally. … I am willing ready able to do all of the above or none of the above at your direction.  How about  David  Wade    on  Kerry’s  staff?”  Hunter  also spoke with  YANG  Jiechi,  the  480 CCP’s top foreign minister and Politburo member, the CCP’s most powerful decision-making body.481[see pages 92-93 on pdf]

A flamboyant online and Indian gambling industry huckster named Gary Fears finagled Hunter and Archer to join him as an unregistered agent for the China Entrepreneur Club (CEC). The CEC had the reputation  of  being  “a  second foreign  ministry” for  the  CCP,  and  the  group  brought nearly  thirty 482 billionaires  to  the  White  House  on 11/14/2011.  Eager  to  claim  plausible  deniability,  Hunter tasked Archer with facilitating a meeting between Joe and the group, which it later bragged   about in a 483 report. In fact, quite a few members of this “private sector” junta would be Hunter’s future partners.484[ page 94]

BOHAI HARVEST RST (BHR) 

BHR,  a  Chinese  state-backed  fund  that  Hunter  helped form,  was  the  biggest  payoff  for  the  Biden family—that is, if Hunter actually divested from the fund. Through his fixer and lawyer, Chris Clark, Hunter has repeatedly assured the press that he does not either “directly or indirectly” own a 485,486 portion of BHR, although he has provided zero evidence to support that claim. There are, however, multiple sources—governmental    and  private—showing  that  a  shell  company  he  controls, 487,488,489 namely Skaneateles LLC, still owns 10% of the fund. BHR, not by mere conjecture or presumption but as a matter of public record and governmental financial data, is an organ of the Chinese state. 

More than a controlling portion of its shares are owned by entities under the purview of the CCP’s Ministry of Finance and, in its most critical deals, BHR has partnered with state-owned enterprises (SOEs).  In  fact,  the  fund’s  head honcho  explicitly  stated  as  much  and  bragged  about  it: “LI  Xiangsheng,  CEO  of  BHR,  told  local  media  that  the fund’s  strong  government  background  would allow it to make super-big investments, saying the fund could take loans from its shareholders such as  China  Development Bank  and  Bank  of  China  to  complete  transactions.” 

In  U.S.  media,  the 490 ostensible mission of BHR is to facilitate “cross border” transactions, but this vanilla description was purposely obscure. Rather, BHR has repeatedly acquired sensitive technologies that the CCP sought.  Again, BHR does not hide this fact and a revelatory interview with LI and WANG Xin on BHR’s own website testified to this imperialistic economic mission.

LIN Junliang “Michael”   and Hunter have 491,492 been partners for over a decade   under the watchful eye of the aforementioned Bulger, and LIN 493 helped facilitate BHR. Before getting on the bad side of XI Jinping and disappearing in June 2015,  CHE  Feng,  known  to  Hunter as  the  “Super  Chairman,”  served  as  the  ring  leader  who  promised funding and facilitated introductions to state-supported financial firms who eventually backed BHR.494[page 95 pdf]

Hunter’s emails confirmed that he has lied to numerous media outlets about the timeline and chain of events surrounding BHR—from the date he was introduced to the CCP-supported proxies to when crucial agreements were signed.   Hunter was so enthusiastic about working with LI Jonathan that in 495 April 2011, more than two years before BHR was put in Shanghai’s business registry, he gushed to LI: “You are the best … Just give me my marching orders.” When Hunter tagged along with Joe to China in December 2013 on Air Force Two, he orchestrated a meeting between Joe and LI in Joe’s hotel. [page 96 on pdf]

To Archer, who would become the vice chairman of the fund, BHR was “a serious opportunity. Not only on it’s [sic] own merits from an economics standpoint but from the leverage in access it provides with the big boys here in the west who all need China; from Tiger to Blackstone to Carlyle etc.” 

Hunter agreed and, after seeing CHE’s proposed term sheet, he elatedly wrote to Archer: “Bottom line is if I/ you and me get around 7% of this fund it could be in many ways the end all be all. I don't believe in lottery tickets anymore, but I do believe in the super chairman. … if we were 20% owners of a CIC [China Investment Corporation] super chairman backed fund I think the sky’s the limit.” Hunter continued gushing to Archer and compared him to a Third Reich model: “Your question- ‘why does Super Chairman love me so much?’ is easily answered. It has nothing to do with me and everything to do with my last name (and I bring along very handsome Aryan godlike men wherever I go).” [page 97 pdf]

CHE, the son-in-law of former People’s Bank of China governor DAI Xianglong, had shamelessly 496,497 wined-and-dined Hunter, an alcoholic, and Hunter’s colleagues at the Four Seasons in Hong Kong. Remember: According to Hunter himself, CHE’s courtship and generosity had “everything to do with” the Biden surname. LIN—who had been ingratiating   himself with sinophilic American officials and 498 political operatives alongside Bulger for a decade—nonchalantly told Hunter: “When secret service wish [sic] to call to check things as they always do, please make them call LI Jonathan or me.” 

Whitey Bulger’s nephew wanted to keep the fund hush-hush until a formal agreement was signed: “Please remember that I have not informed anyone in my office about the reason for my trip to Hong Kong last week. … I want to keep this effort quiet until we have a contract.” Hunter lied about not 499 owning equity in BHR until Joe was done with the vice presidency; additionally, Bulger and Hunter’s “effort” required zero money down from Hunter! His attorney, Ken Levinson, explained it in an email from April 2016: “$361,168 (payoff/down of Devon’s loan to fund Hunter’s investment in BHR).”500 [pages 98-99 @ pdf on last two paragraphs]

A  schematic  in  a  BHR  pitch  deck  touted  its  global connections—from  the  former  Lord  Mayor  of London to George Soros’s money changer, Paul Sohn.   Jason Sugarman, who would be charged 501 by  the  SEC  in relation  to  the  Indian  bond  fraud  that  brought  down Archer  and  others,  was  also intimately involved. BHR enjoyed Ambassador-level access made possible by Joe’s relationship in 502 the Senate with Max Baucus.

With seemingly endless liquidity from the Bank of China and other 503,504 SOE's, BHR was a billion dollar fund whose returns were not merely financial, but also political.505[page 100 @pdf]

As  noted  previously,  the  grooming process  by  LIN  and other  handlers  started  before  2010  and 506 culminated in December 2013. The Chinese rolled out the red carpet for not only Hunter but also the CEO of Rosemont Realty (RR), on whose advisory board Hunter sat. Dan Burrell, for his connections to American princelings, was given special treatment and flowery photo ops.   Another 2004 Kerry 507 presidential campaign alumnus and Yale graduate, Burrell facilitated the large commercial real estate firm’s  pump-and-dump  sale  to  the  Chinese  SOE-linked  Gemini.    

Burrell worked  closely  with 508,509 Archer  to  court foreign  cash—in  fact,  over  $200M  poured  in  from  the wife  of  the  former  mayor  of  Moscow.   RR’s sale to Gemini provided hundreds of thousands of dollars to Hunter and millions to 510 Burrell, who is also a divorcé and is said to have repeatedly indulged in cocaine and prostitute binges. [page 101]

BHR’s  portfolio    includes  companies  who  owned  critical dual-use  technologies  that  have  been 511 harnessed by the CCP for OBOR’s imperialistic economic mission.   A sample of these companies, 512 shown  in  the  table below,  included  Face++  which—according  to  the  U.S. government—has  “been implicated in human rights violations and abuses in China’s campaign targeting Uighurs and other predominantly Muslim ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR).” Put 513,514 bluntly, the son of the sitting pResident was invested in a sanctioned company that profiled ethnic minorities.

BHR was also invested in a Chinese nuclear energy company whose engineer (HO 515,516 Szuhsiung  “Allen,” who  lived  just  five  minutes  from  Joe  in  Delaware)  was  convicted—and subsequently  deported—for  stealing  nuclear  technology  and  conspired  to  act  as  an  agent  for  the CCP.   Hunter’s firm bragged about being the “cornerstone investor in CGN’s Hong Kong IPO.”517,518

Until Hunter and Schwerin had a falling out, the latter held a 2.5% stake in BHR and was a corporate “supervisor” for the fund. Schwerin sent Hunter a note about how BHR’s sale of Didi   stock was 519 going to put over $300,000 in their pocket. Another “significant distribution” was BHR’s application 520 in 2019 to sell their shares of the Chinese lithium-ion battery manufacturer, CATL. Correlation does 521 not imply causation, but it was certainly an advantageous development for CATL when their stock price appreciated more than 50% after Joe announced   a U.S. evacuation from Afghanistan, where 522 lithium deposits are plentiful and Chinese extractors are ready to feast upon the natural resource.523 [pages 102-03 @pdf]

In truth, what we know about BHR’s vast portfolio was limited by the secrecy of the Cayman Islands and other tax havens. In a document marked   “Confidential” that was distributed to board members 524 before the quarterly meeting (for which Hunter sent Whitey Bulger’s nephew as his proxy), the list of  BHR’s offshore subsidiaries looked like an invoice from Gene Hackman’s character in The Firm.525

Given  the  secret  code  name  of  “Project  Hanson,”  BHR’s takeover  of  Henniges  Automotive—an American manufacturer of critical dual-use, anti-vibration technologies—was enabled by Hunter and his business partners’ repeated violations of the FARA. The sale required interagency approval by the Committee  on  Foreign Investment  in  the  United  States  (CFIUS) and  for  BHR—along  with  the 526 Aviation  Industry  Corporation  of China  (AVIC),  BHR’s  partner—to  prove  they  did  not pose  grave national security threats. The question of whether Hunter used his father’s influence to grease the 527 wheels  of  CFIUS  was  not  ascertainable  from  the  laptop;  however,  it  was  abundantly  clear  that Hunter’s representation of BHR—for months—was illegal given that he did not register with the DOJ.[104-05 pdf]

“Project Hanson” was mentioned in 25 separate emails on the Biden Laptop; accordingly, Hunter was intimately involved in the transaction beginning, at least, in February of 2015. He inquired about which law firm in the U.S. BHR had hired. Just seven months later, WANG apparently had advance notice that BHR’s deal was going to be approved by CFIUS—in her words, the approval was “expected by Tuesday NY time.” WANG even used acquisitive language to describe the purchase: “On BHR’s side, Xinzhong and the key deal team members … will be in Detroit to celebrate this milestone together with AVIC Auto officials and the Target company [Henniges].” Not even a year later, WANG bragged about the deal in a somewhat candid interview   with LI: “Henniges is our typical business model. 528 We set up a joint venture with AVIC   - they own 51% and we own 49% - and did the acquisition 529 together. AVIC has industry experience, operations in China, and it knew Henniges well.”  Firstly, 530 who would have given BHR advance notice to “expect” CFIUS to approve the deal and, secondly, how would WANG have known a specific time for the approval? A contact card on the laptop for a  Michael Goodwin from the “CFIUS Office” at the U.S. Commerce Department could provide answers. [page 106 @pdf]

Hunter’s divorce proceedings with Kathleen referenced his ownership share in Henniges and other extended  arms    of the  CCP,  which  ultimately  controlled  AVIC,  BHR’s majority  partner  in  their 531 Henniges joint venture. Despite these and other generous handouts   and state-backed investments, 532 the potential consequences for Hunter’s tax evasion and money laundering crimes were at the top of  his mind. In fact, Hunter recounted Schwerin’s statement to his attorney: “I believe you [Hunter] can do better but if it is a question of going to jail or not I [Schwerin] think $750,000 is the right number.”[page 108]

Hunter, Archer, and Bulger violated the FARA when they acted on BHR’s behalf in an ill-fated effort to secure Bill Clinton as a speaker for an event, which required registration with the DOJ. Indeed, the 533 FARA guidelines could not be more clear about this scenario: one must register as a foreign agent when one “acts within the United States as a public relations counsel, publicity agent, information service employee, or political consultant” for a “foreign principal.”

In this case, the foreign principal 534 sought—through Hunter and his business partners—access to a former U.S. president. Perhaps the Chinese side knew that former president Clinton had intervened for Hunter in the past, going so far as to (unsuccessfully) plead from the Oval Office to the dean of Yale Law School to admit Hunter.535

The General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, XI Jinping, was planning to visit Los Angeles in September 2015. BHR would receive a “one-time advisory fee” if Hunter and Archer “orchestrated a stop by” for XI to a Chinese-controlled electric vehicle facility, Faraday Future. This planned quid 536 pro quo violated the FARA and was merely another attempt by BHR to ingratiate itself with American politicos—as they had done with their partner  GUO George—to achieve their corporate (and state) 537 objectives. In summary, Hunter depended on CCP-backed firms for his planned BHR exit.538,539[pages 108-09]

Hunter’s uncle Jack, Joe’s brother-in-law, also had a soft spot for the CCP. Kathy Chung, Joe’s aide, invited the family to a luncheon hosted by Joe at the State Department during the aforementioned 540 visit by XI in September 2015. Jack, Joe’s classmate at Syracuse, responded with glee: “Yes, Kathy, I would like to attend this one. I know I have passed up everything else, but this is a bit different.” 

CEFC China Energy Company Limited (CEFC Energy) 

Starting  in  early  2015,  Hunter  and  his  partners  were  setting  up  a  deal  with  CEFC  Energy  whose founder, YE Jianming, was the former deputy secretary-general   of a branch of a CCP-funded 541,542 organization known as the China Association for International Friendly Contact (CAIFC).   According 543 to a U.S. government commission report, CAIFC is a “front organization” that “performs dual roles of intelligence collection and conducting propaganda and perception management campaigns.”   CEFC 544 Energy   was a behemoth, spanning the globe and acting as China’s “private” sector arm of OBOR. 545

The  aforementioned  partnership—according  to correspondence  on  the  Biden  Laptop  and  audio messages from Hunter himself—involved players from at least four countries. Prospective meetings between YE and Joe were to be approved by XI Jinping himself, who they called the “No. 1,” and the daily operations were overseen by ZANG Jianjun.   The core players in the partnership are below: 546,547 [pages 110-11 @pdf]

Instrumental to the partnership was a bald and elusive  Englishman named James GILLIAR, who 548 explained   to Tony Bobulinski on Christmas Eve 2015 that there was going to be “a deal between 549 one  of  the  most prominent  families  from”  the  U.S.  and  CEFC  Energy. The  deal  was  going  to  be  “constructed by” GILLIAR, who called the planned Biden/CCP-linked slush fund   a “no brainer.” Rob 550 Walker,  Hunter’s  aforementioned business  partner,  had  been  working  with  GILLIAR  since at  least March of that year and was introduced to Bobulinski by GILLIAR, who joked that Rob had his address “for commissions.” A longtime consigliere to some of Joe’s friends (the ruling family of the United Arab  Emirates (UAE)),  GILLIAR    had  also  facilitated  CEFC  Energy’s buying  spree  in  the  Czech 551 Republic, where he was based. In fact, YE became an “economic advisor”   to the President of the 552 Czech Republic, Miloš ZEMAN. 

By May 2017, Joe’s term as vice president had ended, and “optics” were ripe for the Bidens to cash in. Bobulinski and GILLIAR drew up a joint venture called Sinohawk Holdings LLC  * (SinoHawk), which was owned 50/50 by 1) Hudson West IV LLC   (Hudson West 553,554 IV),  which  was  controlled  by  YE  and  DONG  Gongwen  “Kevin,”  and  2)  Oneida  Holdings  LLC 555 (Oneida), the shell company through which Joe’s son and brother would hold 20% of SinoHawk. 

Back to 2015: the earliest appearance of the keyword “CEFC” on the Biden Laptop was a lengthy email on 10/04 from globalhawk7777@gmail.com, which referred to Hunter as “Chairman.” The note promised “invitations for the Bidens to speak in China, etc” and that “all expenses will be covered as well as speaking engagements.” OH Suk “Scott” bragged about CEFC’s prowess as it was “tagged  to be part of the delegation [that] Chinese President Xi Jinping brought with him recently to the U.S.” [pages 112-13]

True to form, Hunter responded to OH’s honey-pot email within a day: “Scott-when is a good time for a call today [?]” Other than being a seemingly wealthy   “consultant” of Korean extraction who has 556 given exclusively to Democrats, OH’s business relationships and background are a mystery. OH is 557 affiliated with over a dozen shell companies in various jurisdictions. When asked by Marco Polo if he had met YE in South Korea—where YE attended college—OH offered to introduce us to his attorney. When we  asked  for  his  attorney’s  contact  information,  OH hung  up.  This  ghost-like  character facilitated a meeting between YE and Hunter on 12/07/2015, yet very little is known about him.  558

After hosting OH and ZANG Jianjun (YE couldn’t make it) for a meeting, Hunter spent the next 18 months in a blur of prostitutes, strip clubs, crack cocaine, and pornography while he waited for Joe’s vice presidency to end so he could overtly cash out with the Chinese (instead of attempting to be discreet, as he had done in the case of BHR). While HO “Patrick”—another key underling for YE and CEFC—was delivering glowing speeches about the greatness   of OBOR and the “China Dream,” 559 Hunter browsed CEFC Energy’s website and shopped for luxury slippers while a pornographic video raged  in  the  background  (see screenshot  below).

The  kaleidoscope  of  people  and  entities  that 560 were courting Hunter and the Biden family were all imbedded at the United Nations (UN) and other seemingly benign organizations with flowery mission statements. Indeed, the former President of the UN  General Assembly  (GA),  a Serbian  named  Vuk  JEREMIĆ,  was  a  key  plank  on  the road  that connected the Bidens to their Chinese payout.  JEREMIĆ was called as a witness in HO’s trial.561,562[pages 114-15 @pdf]

These  internationalists  explicitly  leveraged  and showcased  Joe’s  time  in  public  office—and  his relationships as a result of that office—to attempt to drum up business for their planned joint venture. GILLIAR, who came from a family   of leftists and advocated for CEFC Energy   to take over the 563,564,565 legendary American company Westinghouse, utilized Joe’s liberal public positions such as his support for so-called “green energy” policies to forge partnerships with foreign oligarchs.For those readers 566 who still believe the lie that Joe was not involved with this planned joint venture with CCP proxies, why would it be relevant that Joe and the Colombian president got along well when he was the V.P.? GILLIAR deemed it so important that he put a picture of them in his “Proposal for Investment Vehicle.” 

Hunter’s uncle, Jimmy Biden, acted as an unregistered agent for a foreign principal, CEFC Energy. Jimmy was hoping to meet with the disgraced former Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo (who previously gave Naomi Biden, Hunter’s daughter, an internship). Jimmy also wrote the wrong month in the memo to Cuomo’s aide (the month should have been May).   The Bidens hoped to bring the 567

key  players  to  the  meeting  including  YE,  CEFC  Energy executive  ZANG,  and  Prince  Felix  of  Luxembourg.   GILLIAR—an ever-present force in the background—organized the meeting request. 568 [p.116-17@pdf]

A screenshot from CEFC Energy’s website around the time Jimmy prepared the memo displayed a headline  of  YE bragging  about  his  recent  meeting  with  the  chairman of  the  Russian  SOE  oil 569 conglomerate,  Rosneft. Although  CEFC  Energy’s  ownership  structure    was  purposely  opaque, 570,571 their news headlines—and their logo—pointed to the (oftentimes unspoken) truth that the company was ultimately controlled by the Chinese state.

It made sense why CEFC Energy and its NGO did 572 not advertise their true owners and partners—they were aligned with the CCP’s People’s Liberation Army, specifically its propaganda organ: “PLA Unit 61716, also known as the ‘Public Opinion Warfare, Psychological Warfare and Legal Warfare Base,’ or Base 311, was connected with CEFC.”573

A week after Bobulinski met with Joe before the latter’s speech at the Milken Conference on 574,575,576 05/03/2017, CEFC Energy partnered with the Rothschild family.   The company also sent a personal 577 invitation to Bobulinski in order for him to secure a business visa (which, like the joint venture, would fall through; however, the Bidens moved on without him, as will be explained later in this section).[p.118-19 pdf] 

Just two days after YE’s meeting with the Rothschilds, GILLIAR—who was a key spoke in the CCP’s wheel    of “elite  capture”  in  the  Czech  Republic—sent  an  email  to Bobulinski  (with  Walker  and 578 Hunter  ccd)  about  the group’s  expected  “remuneration  [sic]  packages.”  Hunter was  to  receive  an  $850,000 salary and 10% of the holding company’s shares for Joe, who GILLIAR called “the big guy.” In response, Hunter said that he “needed a hell of a lot more” than $850k. Importantly, there were other references to Joe as “the big guy” on the Biden Laptop, along with Bobulinski’s confirmation.579

Perhaps  more  incredible  than  Joe’s  involvement  in  the planned  joint  venture  was  XI  Jinping’s 580 covert oversight of the deal. On two separate occasions, both GILLIAR and Hunter alluded to XI’s role in both approving meetings and ownership shares. GILLIAR told Bobulinski: “As I know chairman [YE] will come to meet VP [Joe] if he gets approval from no 1 [XI], [but] I think otherwise he wouldn't.” The  following day, Bobulinski expressed concerns about the Bidens’ ability to overrule him on corporate decisions, to which Hunter shot back with fervor: “TONY that is what Zhang   [sic] implied - they are 581 both ZANG and YE coming to be MY partner,to be partners with the Bidens. He [ZANG] has implied that the #1 [XI] has made that clear and available to him.” Along with a party to the messages confirming to Marco Polo that the multiple allusions were to XI himself, other direct references (such as Hunter referring to Joe as “my Chairman” and GILLIAR warning Bobulinski to “not mention Joe being  involved” except  when  “face  to  face”  because  the  Bidens  were  “paranoid”)  are  more  than enough to refute GILLIAR’s bald-faced lies to the Wall Street Journal that Joe was not involved.582 [page 120-21@pdf]

As  it  turned  out,  when  the  papers were  signed,  Jimmy held  Joe’s  shares  through  a  shell 583,584 company aptly named Sino Atlantic Solutions.   GILLIAR, like a good English subject, held his 20% 585 of Oneida through the opaque “8 International Holdings Limited” based in the British Virgin Islands.586

The first agreement by SinoHawk was for the Chinese side to wire $10M to Bobulinski so he, as the CEO, could make the first tranche of OBOR “investments.” However, nearly a month passed and they were slow-walking the wire transfer, offering random excuses. Plus, according to Bobulinski, Hunter’s “manic and bipolar” personality was on full display. Exasperated, Bobulinski convinced Hunter to send a letter to YE in which Hunter called him “a very close friend of the Biden family” and pleaded with YE to expedite the transfer and receive the “best wishes from the entire Biden family.”

What Bobulinski 587 did not realize is that—in response to his logical concerns about Hunter’s antics—Jimmy and Hunter had been back-channeling with YE’s lieutenants so they could cut out Bobulinski, GILLIAR, and the others to more easily receive YE’s cash but via another channel—namely, Hudson West III LLC. [p122-23 pdf]

The contrived excuses from the Chinese side ran the gamut from “the risk management department of CEFC is showing concerns” to “we do not have a review and approval mechanism for projects.” Bobulinski  was  not  buying  these lame  attempts  at  stonewalling,  and  for  good  reason: Behind  the scenes, ZHAO Runlong’s associate, YAN Mervyn, was drawing up an ownership share schematic for another entity, Hudson West III LLC, which would be funded by YE through Hudson West V LLC 588(although YAN initially planned on funneling the cash through his shell company, Monochrome Capital Partners  LLC)    and  would  partner  with  Hunter’s  single  member  law  firm,  Owasco P.C.  The  final 589 result actually split the baby: Even though the joint venture which was “so much more interesting to the Biden family,” they still received millions of dollars from the Chinese for “introductions alone” by using Hudson West III (EIN: 82-1599897) as a 50/50 joint LLC. The objective for the business entity gymnastics was clear: obfuscate   true beneficial ownership to evade law enforcement authorities.590,591

Wire transfers and bank statements   on the Biden Laptop were featured in a U.S. Senate report:592 “Starting on August 8, the same day the $5 million was received, and continuing through September 25,  2018,  Hudson  West  III sent  frequent  payments  to  Owasco,  Hunter  Biden’s firm. These 593 payments, which were described as consulting fees, reached $4,790,375.25 in just over a year.”594[p 124-25@pdf]

The FARA violations shown below were a good representation of who went behind Bobulinski’s back to work with CEFC on a range of issues. ZANG and his family were in need of visas, so Sara Biden enlisted former Obama appointee and GILLIAR associate, John Sandweg, to advocate on ZANG’s behalf to the U.S. government.   Even though all of ZANG’s visas were denied, Sandweg did have 595 experience  illegally  representing  criminals  before the Department  of  Homeland  Security  (DHS),  as Sandweg was involved in the NXIVM sex cult scandal and represented heiress Clare Bronfman.596

Under  the  penalty  of  perjury,  Hunter  lied  on  an  official bank  document  to  receive  a  credit  card collateralized by companies financed by YE. Hunter testified to Mandy Wong   at Cathay Bank that 597 he  was  not  subject  to backup  withholding  from  the  IRS,  a  blatant  lie.  In  fact, Owasco  P.C.  owed thousands of dollars due to undeclared income from Burisma. YAN was happy to accommodate the “$30,000 limit” credit cards for not only Hunter, but also Jimmy and Sara Biden. A U.S. Senate report, based on SARs, stated they went on a “global spending spree” and quickly liquidated the cards.598 [p126-27@pdf]

One  week  after  receiving  the  credit  card  backed  by YE’s  proxies,  Hunter  instructed  Cecelia BROWNING, his office’s building manager at the House of Sweden, to get keys cut for Joe.   In fact, 599 Joe’s new grift—called the Biden Foundation—and YE’s espionage   outfit were going to be “office 600 mates.” Hunter then pasted an internet biography of YE, who Hunter admiringly   called “his partner.” 601 YE had just bought a luxury condo and apartment in Manhattan via DONG (“Chairman Ye[’s] CEFC emissary”) and Hunter thought it was relevant to include an article describing the purchases.602

The only deal which the Bidens seriously attempted to consummate in return for their $5.7M+ payout from YE’s entities would have given those entities “preferential access” to American liquified natural gas (LNG). Greg Michaels from Monkey Island LNG   and attorney Britt Singletary tried to help 603,604 Hunter secure those American LNG exports for CEFC. Fortunately, for the U.S., the deal fell through. [p128-29@pdf]

HO CHI PING “PATRICK” REPRESENTATION 

Although  he  told Bobulinski  he  signed  an  attorney engagement  letter  with  YE,  Hunter  illegally 605 represented  HO  for  $1M  while  not  registering  per the  FARA. The  timing  of  the  agreement  was 606 curious,  as  HO  was  arrested  upon  landing  at  JFK International  Airport exactly  two  months  after Hunter signed the “Attorney Engagement Letter.”   HO, who Hunter called “the fucking spy chief of 607 China,” would be convicted   of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) for bribing and 608,609 laundering money to African officials in exchange for oil rights. Along with LIU Yadong, HO also ran YE’s sham charity, the UN-affiliated China Energy Fund Committee (CEFC NGO) slush fund.610,611

Unsurprisingly, HO’s first call from the Metropolitan Detention Center after being arrested by federal agents on 11/18/2017 was to the pResident’s brother, Jimmy, in order to track down his  attorney,  Hunter.HO  was  under  FISA surveillance, 612,613 so HO’s calls to Jimmy   and Hunter were recorded, which 614 would certainly make for some very interesting listening—and it  made  the  FBI  slow-walk of  the  Biden  Laptop  that  much more  egregious.    

According  to  evidence presented  at 615,616 HO’s  trial, the  FISA  surveillance  revealed  the  CEFC  NGO’s modus operandi  in  detail:  ensnare so-called  developing 617 countries  in  situations  that  eventually  force  them to give  up ownership of their natural resources to CEFC Energy. In other words,  HO,  and  his  benefactor,  YE,  were loan  sharks  to African despots—and the African countries were left holding the  bag  because  the  despots  would get paid  off. Judge 618 Preska,  at  HO’s  sentencing  hearing, repeated  lines  from  a UN  Convention:  “Corruption  is  an insidious  plague”  that  is  “found in all countries—big and small, rich and poor—but it is in the developing world that its effects are most destructive.”[p130-31@pdf]

Hunter did not spend a single day in court on behalf of the globe-trotting Chinese loan shark. 619,620 Instead, Hunter farmed that work out to attorneys at the white-shoe firm Krieger Kim & Lewin LLP (whose founding partner, Ed Kim, departed the S.D.N.Y. just two   months before HO was arrested). 621 However, Hunter did arrange to get the $1M from HO   wired to his shell company, Owasco LLC.622,623

One of the feds who was likely involved in the FISA surveillance of HO was Charlie McGonigal, the  then-SAC for Counterintelligence in the New York Field Office (NYFO). (McGonigal’s wife was on 624 the Biden Laptop, as the couple’s daughter and one of Hunter’s daughters played lacrosse together.) McGonigal  is  the  subject  of  a  federal grand  jury  probe for  possible  FARA  violations  and  other 625 dealings with Russian oligarchs. Based on an email from Kim, determining if McGonigal was one of the agents Hunter “spoke with” on HO’s behalf ought to be the focus of a Congressional subpoena. [p132-33@pdf]

One month after XI   detained YE, an email from Wells Fargo’s Cindy Duncan   confirmed that a 626,627 $1,000,032 wire transfer hit Hunter’s account after he requested his retainer from HO   via DONG. 628 Within an hour, Hunter asked Duncan how to access the illegally acquired funds (per the FARA) and send it to other shell companies, such as Skaneateles.   These paper trails exposed Joe’s ridiculous 629 lie: “My son has not made money in terms of this thing about—what are you talking about—China.”630 

Jimmy and his wife, Sara, benefited from Hunter’s illegal (unregistered) representation of a foreign principal. Later that spring, Jimmy’s firm sent multiple fraudulent invoices for $82,500 as his “Monthly Retainer  for  International Business  Development”  to  Hunter’s  shell  company.  In truth,  the  funds Jimmy sought originated from Hunter’s faux legal counsel for HO and the original slush fund   set up 631 by YE. As you will read in the INFLUENCE PEDDLING section, Jimmy alluded to these transactions as his “monthly draw,” confirming that there was no active “business development” occurring. YE had, in every sense of the phrase, set up a piggy bank for Hunter and Jimmy. In a bold and hilariously  ironic move, Jimmy sent a reminder—“Invoice 1180”—to let Hunter know that Hunter owed $14,001.[p134-35@pdf]

Jimmy was not the only one to refer to the payments as their “monthly draws.” A few months later, their Chinese piggy bank was almost empty and Hunter tied up loose ends with YAN: “Please wire to my Owasco PC account the remaining two monthly  draws minus the $35K advance I took last week.  So $295,000.00 today.  Then please give me detailed bank statements of what is left in the account after you’ve taken your final two draws.   We then need to discuss what  we  owe  and  to  whom  and  determine  what if   any  money  is  left  for  disbursement.”  U.S. Senate investigators  created  a  crude  diagram  (shown  below) which  featured  the  money  flow  from YE’s piggy bank through Hunter’s shell law firm to Jimmy and Sara. Investigators also noted that, based on SARs, Sara refused to cooperate with her bank when employees inquired about the large and frequent round-dollar wire transfers, giving the bank no other choice but to close their account.632

Exactly three months after Hunter told YAN to wire the last of the “monthly draws” from YE’s piggy bank, Hunter sent another $95k to his uncle Jimmy. YE’s largesse   did not win YE any favors with 633 XI, however, as Hunter complained about his benefactor’s fate   to his “idiot” assistant, Katie Dodge: 634 “If you haven’t noticed,  Katie, my business partner[YE] is now a prisoner on death row in China.” [p136-37@pdf]

HO’s arrest not only impacted the destiny of YE, whose cover—and the influence   operation   he 635,636 was conducting—was blown when HO was detained.  Hunter’s business colleagues were hounded 637 with press inquiries for the latter half of 2018 and, according to Hunter, CIA operatives in China were detained in retaliation. Jimmy and others have not cooperated with inquiries from U.S. senators.638

In  summary,  the  Bidens  committed  over two  dozen federal  felonies  in  connection with  China.  Hunter  and his business partners  (including  his  family  members) committed  egregious  crimes,  specifically money laundering,  that  have  put  many others—less connected saps—in prison for decades.  Three  of  Hunter’s  Chinese benefactors have  either  vanished 639,640,641 or  been deported. The  family’s  crimes 642 span over a decade and, as we will note in the final section of the Report, the statute of limitations have not passed on many of them.  We  want to  tip  our  hat  to  an anonymous  Twitter  user  who ascertained the  CEFC  Energy/NGO  laundering  scheme and  the  players. Aside  from  the  crude  layout  and  one small mistake (HO called Jimmy after being detained at JFK International Airport), the graphic above was a clear presentation of a complex swindle and multiple FARA violations.   The Bidens’ business 643 dealings with the CCP are still being probed by two Senators, albeit through milquetoast letters. 644,645 [p138-39@pdf]
