Former Swiss Banker Set Sail

Ah, Halloween with it's Hunter Moon has dry docked a former Swiss Banker, yes you heard that right.  The former managing director and vice chairman of a Swiss bank was sentenced to 10 years in prison today, after previously pleading guilty for his role in a billion-dollar international scheme to launder funds embezzled from Venezuelan state-owned oil company Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA).

Matthias Krull, 44, a German national and Panamanian resident, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, on Aug. 22. U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga of the Southern District of Florida sentenced Krull to serve 120 months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release.  Judge Altonaga also ordered Krull to pay a fine in the amount of $50,000 and a forfeiture money judgment of $600,000.

This investigation is going deep from HSI (Homeland Security Investigation) around the world today into money laundering.   Not only did Krull plead guilty but he flip his crew!  Krull’s co-conspirators indicted on Aug. 16, include former PDVSA officials, professional third-party money launderers and members of the Venezuelan elite, sometimes known as “boliburgués.”

The investigation was conducted by HSI Miami, HSI London, HSI Rome and HSI Madrid.  This case is being prosecuted by Assistant Chief David Johnson and Trial Attorney Gwendolyn A. Stamper of the Criminal Division’s Fraud Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Nadler of the Economic and Environmental Crimes Section of the Southern District of Florida.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Nalina Sombuntham of the Southern District of Florida is handling the asset forfeiture.

PM Viktor Orban Stands Guard for Hungary

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has told European Parliament that Brussels' actions against Budapest "violates the EU treaty."

Under pressure from the European Union Commission, Orban is facing a vote that could see Hungary lose its voting rights in the bloc for undercutting democracy and EU core values.  Sounds like YouTube with its community guidelines.

Orban said:

"I stand here in front of you and I defend my country because, for Hungarians, liberty democracy independence and Europe are matters of honor." - "What you are doing here is a slap in the face of the Union"

"We have defended Hungary, and we have defended Europe."

"We have a different picture about the nature of Christianity in Europe and the role of nations and cultures in our country."

Also, Orban is under pressure from the EU by the tight sorts in Brussels for going against Soros and visiting with Russia.  The dismantled John McCain, who once described Orbán as "a neofascist in bed with Putin."  Well, your dead right John, who wants to be in bed with the far left Liberal socialist?  Which can be extended to Communism and Marxism, which Hungary wants no part of, which the EU is becoming!

Let's listen to Orban on this issue.



Well, this gets real interesting when Nigel Farage MEP, UK Independence Party says, "thank GOD, there is a leader like PM Orban who stands up for his country."

Yeah, Amen.



Update 9/18/18 - Orban’s Moscow visit a middle finger gesture to EU after last week’s humiliation.

POTUS Changes Administrative Law Judge Hiring Process

President Donald Trump changed the appointment process for administrative law judges on Tuesday with an executive order that puts the power with federal agency heads or the president himself.

Issued as he flew to the NATO summit in Brussels, the order follows a U.S. Supreme Court decision in June that decided administrative law judges of the Securities and Exchange Commission are subject to the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

In the Lucia v. Securities and Exchange Commission, the justices held the administrative law judge who handed down a fine on an investor was not constitutionally appointed.  The ruling put in doubt the constitutionality of other administrative law judges and opened up potentially thousands of cases to be re-litigated.

The White House framed the executive order as a solution to “ongoing legal uncertainty over administrative law judge appointments and authority” and allowing “the enforcement of dozens of important laws protecting Americans.

The order also serves as an “important step in preempting arguments going forward that administrative law judges have been unconstitutionally selected and that their decisions should be overturned.”
