Another DOGE employee with Russian ties coincidence. It’s a small world. I’m sure all of them having ties back to Russia, and not any other country in the world, isn’t a big deal.

Millions of people to choose from, yet everyone connected to Trump and now Musk, manages to have some tie to Russia. Even "Big Balls", whose grandmother was a KGB agent. You can't make this shit up!

eveexamines.bsky.social•1 day ago

Unless I've got the guy mixed up big balls grandfather was a defector to the US. People need to stop lobotomizing themselves by pretending somebody who left the USSR to come to America is somehow connected to the current oligarchs.

tinybluedrop.bsky.social•1 day ago

He didn't "leave the USSR to come to the US". Literally a spy who was turned.

tinybluedrop.bsky.social•1 day ago

He was a KGB agent who was turned by the CIA, who was then later executed by Russia for treason. Does that make his grandson a traitor who might "turn"? No, but B.B. was fired from his internship for leaking inside information to a competitor, so maybe the apple didn't fall too far from the tree.

In exchange, I get to dominate the world.

That trust, Heritage Trust, was later blocked by Treasury, and Citigroup is being investigated for its work with Kerimov's funds by the DOJ, FBI...and the IRS.

Corcos is embedded at Treasury, and cofounded a health care tech company with a former engineer from SpaceX.

cben.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not widely known, but Kerimov has ties to Rinat Akhmetshin, a Putin ‘fixer’ who attended the Trump Tower meeting.
