Biden became the Obama administration's "point person" for Ukraine.
Under Biden's leadership, $3 billion in aid went to Ukraine,
While Joe Biden placed his son (what a coincidence) as a Board Member in the Ukrainian Energy Co. Burisma, $1.8 billion in aid funding just can’t be accounted for.
At the same time, $33 million disappeared from the Central Bank and the head of Burisma, Oligarch: Mykola Zlochevsky (also incidentally) fled Ukraine.
Bidens conveniently call facts on record as right wing conspiracy vs. their integrity and honest business dealings; however, the huge sums disappeared from Ukraine, as a result of their “protection “ of Ukraine vs. corruption.
Those who fight corruption often are the ones who commit it as history proved again and again.
Many players to the scheme benefited, including the firms run by Hunter Biden.
Burisma Holdings is owned by Brociti Investments Limited, a Cyprus-based company owned by Ukrainian former politician and businessman Mykola Zlochevsky. Zlochevsky was minister of natural resources under Viktor Yanukovych, the president of Ukraine.[31] Brociti Investments acquired Burisma Holdings in 2011.[32] Before that acquisition, Mykola Zlochevsky and Mykola Lisin each owned a 50% interest in Burisma Holdings.[12][32][33] Lisin, a Ukrainian politician, died in a traffic accident in 2011.[33]
Random accident? Really?
Burisma Holdings does not disclose its financial results.[9][17] It has been calculated, based on a
minimal natural gas price, that the company's revenue in 2018 may have totaled at least US$400 million.[9]
Joe Biden used his political influence to insert his son into Burisma.
Took a calculated risk as so many monies have been embezzled successfully.
In the last days of the Obama administration, Vice President Joe Biden took a "swan song" trip to Ukraine, a notoriously corrupt country where he had been the administration's "point person."
On the eve of this trip, the country announced it would end a criminal investigation into a company connected to the loss of $1.8 billion in aid funding — a company whose board of directors included Biden's son Hunter.
The Biden family's dealings with this Ukrainian company involved getting one of the country's most notorious mob bankers, Ihor Kolomoisky, off the U.S. government visa ban list.
Under Biden's leadership, $3 billion in aid went to Ukraine, and his son's company was implicated in the disappearance of $1.8 billion of that money.
50 million hryvnias (US$1.9 million) of additional taxes was paid to eliminate criminal charges.[42] In total, Burisma paid additional 180 million hryvnias (US$7.44 million) of taxes to avoid further criminal proceedings.[9][25] A criminal investigation was conducted if natural resources extraction licenses were issued to Burisma subsidiaries legally during the period Zlochevsky held government office. Although violations of the procedure were established by NABU, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office missed procedural deadlines for a lawsuit and the case for nullifying licenses was dismissed by the court.[42
Burisma sought Western figures with clout-carrying names like “Biden” to shield the company from undergoing too rigorous an investigation after the potentially corrupt activities unfolded. This theory becomes particularly poignant when considered in light of Joe Biden’s speech, in which he bragged about having the then-general prosecutor of Ukraine fired,
Debunked theory? The facts reveal that Hunter Biden with zero experience in energy field was, miraculously, qualified and served as a Board Member.
An American business partner of Hunter Biden, Devon Archer, also joins the board. The company issues a press release about the Biden appointment in May (see below). The appointment draws criticism for the potential perception of a conflict of interest with Vice President Biden’s role as the White House’s point man on Ukraine. News reports later in 2014 reveal that Hunter Biden had been discharged from the Navy in February for testing positive for cocaine (clearly just months before the Burisma board appointment).
In a Jan. 23, 2018, following a speech at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) in Washington, Biden touts his tough stance with Ukraine in 2016. He says he told Ukrainian leaders that the U.S. would withhold $1 billion in loan guarantees unless they fired Prosecutor General Shokin, who was investigating Burisma corruption while his son, Hunter, was a Board Member.
So, again, Joe Biden exerts his Political pressure by sheer blackmail to allow his son to profit.
Shokin is fired as a result as $1 billion is a serious leverage obviously.
Yuriy Lutsenko, who had headed Poroshenko’s political bloc in Parliament, takes office as prosecutor general, after Parliament changed the law to allow someone without a law degree and legal experience to hold the position.
The Ukrainian authorities cannot determine the oligarch Zlochevsky's, the head of Burisma, whereabouts
Separately three lawmakers obtained the documents which said previous prosecutor accused the oligarch of embezzling $33m from the central bank, as the sum just disappeared and so did Zlochevsky's (he is the one who put Hunter Biden on the Board as a shield for his corruption, paying off Hunter for his father’s protection.
What else is new in the world of Politicians and Oligarchs?
U.S. banking records show Hunter Biden’s American-based firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, received regular transfers into one of its accounts — usually more than $166,000 a month — from Burisma from spring 2014 through fall 2015, during a period when Vice President Biden was the main U.S. official dealing with Ukraine and its tense relations with Russia.
Between April 2014 and October 2015, more than $3 million was paid out of Burisma accounts to an account linked to Biden’s and Archer’s Rosemont Seneca firm, according to the financial records placed in a federal court file in Manhattan in an unrelated case against Archer.
The bank records show that, on most months when Burisma money flowed, two wire transfers of $83,333.33 each were sent to the Rosemont Seneca–connected account on the same day. The same Rosemont Seneca–linked account typically then would pay Hunter Biden one or more payments ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 each.
It is self-evident why Zlochevsky's fled Ukraine with the embezzled monies and accepted Joe Biden’s preposition to hire his son with zero qualifications to serve as a shield to embezzle what could, as connections determine often more than integrity/
