who is getting money from where ?

My,my.


A competitor for the Biden's in collecting foreign money.


All but 1% of the $3 billion in investments in former President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner's private equity firm Affinity Partners came from foreign sources after he "spent much of his White House tenure cozying up" to Saudi Arabia and Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman.


The Saudis invested $2 billion in Kushner's fund while the United Arab Emirates and Qatar each added another $200 million. About $625 million came from other non-U.S. sources while only $31 million came from sources inside the U.S.


Economic analyst Steven Rattner said that he's "never seen this" in 40 years in the business.

Yeh, kinda makes the Hunter Biden & the Big Guy’s shakedowns look like paltry, chump change, doesn’t it?

Put your two brain stems together for a moment. Ask the simple question. Why would someone (Saudies in this case) invest money into an investment fund? ROI.

We all do it all the time. What? You think everyone wants to invest in the Biden Family Crime Syndicate? Because why? When I drop coin in an investment fund, I'm either hedging against loss or looking for gain. How is that criminal exactly? Use your words.

Why should anyone answer to or apologies to you because someone else has the savvy to manage an investment fund? Grow some and start one. Report back on your progress.

Ya'll do know investment funds are regulated. Right? They don't employ multiple shell companies to transfer (launder) money through. Right? They actually produce a product - ROI.The fund's investments are tracked.

If either of you have a point, by all means make it. But petty innuendo don't cut it. For wanna be Global Socialists, you seem to have a small world view.

Oh please.

Jared has no track record in private equity. But somehow $ 3 billion shows up. Also no returns have been published for this fund.

Wise up. No shortage of places Arabs can invest to get an ROI.

And read the last line again.

This line: "Economic analyst Steven Rattner said that he's "never seen this" in 40 years in the business."? Again, ask the simple question. Whom does he work for? If you can handle the bonus round, where does he place his sole client's $$?

I am not in the investment management business. Somehow that matters to this topic...? So bizarre.

And now you started hijacking your own threads.

And make snarkey comments in other threads that have nothing to do with the thread.

Better follow Saltys advise. His concise advise: "just saying" and "follow the money".

Jared wound up with 3 billion.
... The Saudis ALSO have interests in PGA golf and
American energy... China has American energy interests also.

Not sure what yer point is.

No doubt Jared's business interests there are NOT the
same "shakedown deals" the Bidens sought with Russia,
China and Ukraine... Oh, and the Bidens HID theirs.
And laundered the money payments.
The banking records surely show it...
And former business partners/whistleblowers have
CONFIRMED it.

... Though as you say - keep following the money, mate... $$$$

Then there is Jared plus Ivanka going on road trips to China, collecting money from investors....

No follow up what happened to that money.

"just saying"

Regarding your constant theme on the Bidens, should we wait for a grand jury to indict them ? Or pronounce them guilty now ?

Although grand jury indictments also appear to be meaningless to several participants of the political forum.

I'll just say remember your audience in this forum. To some, Trump can do no wrong and those who don't support him are always in the wrong. To try to have a logical discussion with them is a complete waste of fucking time.

The OP is correct, but as usual, the Trumpsters just blow it off and bring up Biden.

I'm glad you Trumpsters are the minority in this country because that fat orange scumbag will never be elected again with you folks as his supporters.

Neither are untoward or illegal on the face of it. Both would fall under the purview of the SEC and I'm pretty sure both would have a valid Series 7 license. So what's your problem?

The # 1 poster for stating everything is corrupt now has an epiphany for Jared ? The Arabs just decided to drop $ 3 billion on Saint Jared, who happens to be the former President’s son in law ?


This is just the tip of the iceberg for Jared and his corrupt business. Running off to do roadshows in China with Ivanka, just in time to collect investor money from the visa program before it was shut down. And no ethical projects to show the investments were valid. Why doesn’t the DOJ look into that ?


And Ivanka putting down millions and millions and millions of dollars on Florida real estate. Where do you think she got that money…..from her fragrance business ? That business had to be shut down because no one would buy the products after what Trump did.


The only reason Jared and Ivanka have not been indicted, along with the 18 other Trump mob, is they admitted Trump lost the 2020 election.
