Scoop: Kushner, Jewish business leaders huddle with Qatari PM
Barak Ravid
Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump organized a private meeting in New York last Wednesday with Qatar's prime minister and a bipartisan group mostly of Jewish businessmen and billionaires, three sources with direct knowledge of the meeting tell Axios.
Why it matters: Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Al Thani has been a key player in mediating talks between Israel and Hamas during their ongoing war - especially negotiations over the talks over on the issue of release hostages held by the terrorist group in Gaza.
Zoom in: A source who attended the meeting said the Qatari prime minister spoke about his country's efforts to release the hostages in Gaza and answered several questions about Qatar's relationship with Hamas.
Sheikh Mohammed also was the leading point of contact for the Trump and Bidenadministrations on Afghanistan for several years when Qatar hosted a Taliban office.
Kushner and the Qatari prime minister became close during the Trump administration, when they led negotiations on ending a rift between Qatar and other Arab nations in the Persian Gulf. The agreement to end the crisis was signed two weeks before Donald Trump left the presidency.
Driving the news: The Qatari prime minister was in New York to speak at a UN Security Council meeting on the crisis in Gaza, alongside several other Arab foreign ministers.
He arrived there during the negotiations to extend the ceasefire in Gaza in return for Hamas agreeing to release more women and children it has held hostage since the terror group's Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
The big picture: Qatar has been under increasing pressure and scrutiny by members of Congress and Jewish organizations over the nation's relationship with Hamas.
While expressing appreciation for Qatar's role in mediating the deal to secure the release of more than 100 hostages so far, the Biden administration and the Israeli government are signaling they'll press Qatar on the issue after the war ends.
Qatar, meanwhile, is increasing its lobbying efforts in Washington, concerned that Hamas' attack on Israel from Gaza - an enclave Qatar has helped to support- could damage Qatar's standing with the U.S. and particularly with Congress.
Behind the scenes: Kushner organized Wednesday's lunch at Coco's, a members-only restaurant in the General Motors Building in Manhattan. Among the participants:
Bill Ackman, founder of Pershing Square Capital Management hedge fund
Mark Rowan, founder of Apollo Global Management
Robert Kraft, owner of the NFL's New England Patriots
Marc Lasry, CEO of Avenue Capital Group and former co-owner of the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks
Daniel Och, founder of Och-Ziff Capital Management hedge fund
Barry Sternlicht, chairperson of Starwood Capital Group
Dan Senor, author and former adviser to Mitt Romney during the 2012 presidential campaign
Josh Kopelman, founder of First Round Capital
Gary Ginsberg, lawyer, political operative, Netanyahu confidant of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former VP at Softbank
Robert Thomson, CEO of News Corp
Josh Kushner, Jared Kushner's brother, founder of Thrive Capital
Edmond Safra, a businessman and owner of Coco's
Lex Fridman, AI researcher from MIT who also has a podcast
Between the lines: Sheikh Mohammed told the group Qatar's close relations with Hamas and the hosting of the terror group in Doha started in 2006 with the support of the Bush administration, an attendee in the meeting said.
He added that the Obama and Trump administrations also encouraged Qatar to continue an open channel with Hamas to try to navigate the situation in Gaza.
According to the person who attended the meeting, the Qatari prime minister told the group that the billions of dollars Qatar has transferred to Gaza over the past five years to help pay for salaries, fuel and aid to poor people was coordinated with and approved by the Israeli government.
After leaving Trump's White House, Kushner established a private equity fund that raised money for investments in the Persian Gulf region.

Tough-on-China Dem Senate Candidate Invested in Chinese Companies Linked to State Surveillance
Alex Lasry sold off $100-200K in Chinese companies linked to espionage but is mum on stock holdings linked to Uyghur slave labor
A Democratic Senate candidate quietly unloaded at least $100,000 in stocks in two controversial Chinese tech giants around the same time he pivoted to a tough-on-Beijing stance on the campaign trail-but is declining to say whether he sold his stakes in other companies linked to Chinese forced labor.
Wisconsin Senate candidate Alex Lasry held between $100,000 and $200,000 in corporate securities stock in tech companies Tencent and Alibaba, according to his most recent financial disclosure report in August. The U.S. government has accused both companies of aiding the Chinese military. Lasry also disclosed investments in Inditex and Seagate Technology, which have been accused of profiting off forced labor in Xinjiang, and Chindata, a company that has been active in China's Belt and Road Initiative-a global infrastructure program that U.S. officials have decried as a national security risk.
The stock sales took place as Lasry has worked to shake off allegations from Republicans that he and his family have profited from business with China. They also coincided with his campaign's rebranding effort. In January, Lasry launched a $1 million campaign advertising blitz in which he promised to "stand up to China" and focus on supporting American businesses. But his investments in additional companies tied to human rights abuses could undercut his rebranding efforts.
A spokesman for Lasry told the Washington Free Beacon that the candidate sold off the Alibaba and Tencent stocks "months ago." The spokesman did not respond when asked if Lasry has also divested from Inditex, Seagate, and Chindata.
French prosecutors have been investigating Inditex, a Spanish fast fashion brand that owns Zara, over allegations that it knowingly profited from Uyghur forced labor in the cotton industry. Seagate Technology also came under fire after the Wall Street Journal reported that it sold hard drives to Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co. Ltd. The United States blacklisted Hikvision for selling surveillance products that the Chinese government reportedly uses against dissidents and Uyghurs.
Lasry also disclosed an investment in Chindata, a Chinese data center company. Chindata has touted its support and assistance for China's Belt and Road Initiative, a massive international infrastructure project and the centerpiece of China's economic and military expansionism.
Lasry has struggled against perceptions that he is soft on China since launching his campaign last year. His father, billionaire hedge-funder Marc Lasry, has been an advocate for investment opportunities in China, telling a business forum in May that "now is a great time to be investing in China" and praising the country's economic growth as "through the roof."
Lasry's critics have highlighted his position as a senior vice president at the Milwaukee Bucks-the basketball team owned by his father-noting that the NBA has extensive financial interests in China.
During a lengthy interview with Jewish Insider, Lasry "was somewhat reticent while discussing the NBA's highly profitable business relationship with China" and "seemed eager to sidestep the matter," the outlet reported.
The Wisconsin Senate race is expected to be one of the most competitive of the 2022 cycle, with Democrats hoping to unseat GOP incumbent Ron Johnson.
Lasry, who has already pumped $2.3 million into his own campaign, is seen as one of several frontrunners for the Democratic nomination. The crowded primary field also includes sitting Wisconsin lieutenant governor Mandela Barnes and state treasurer Sarah Godlewski.

They forge connections, pull the levers of change and shape the future of metro Milwaukee.
They're politicians and CEOs, real-estate moguls and sports stars. They're multimillionaires, entertainment kingpins, talk show hosts and social activists.
Some work behind the scenes, others front and center. Some have made the lists in the past, others are newcomers, young and creative and driven, inching their way to the top as the Old Guard falls back.
No. 1: Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Executive
He's molded county government around himself, annoying longtime supporters but making new friends, many of them conservatives. "This is a guy with unlimited funds, and everybody knows it," says one insider. "God knows where his money is." But can he govern? If you mean outfoxing half the town's power brokers, yes.

Laurene Powell Jobs Burned After Digital Media Firm She Invested in Shuts Down over Allegations of Fraud
Digital media firm Ozy Media abruptly shut down Friday following allegations of fraud and a reportedly toxic workplace environment, leaving big-time investors, including Laurene Powell Jobs - the powerful leftist billionaire widow of Steve Jobs - in the dust with their multimillion-dollar investments.
The company, founded in 2013, abruptly shut down this week following the publication of a damaging New York Times article, reporting that someone at Ozy allegedly impersonated a YouTube executive during a business meeting with Goldman Sachs investors, who were apparently considering a $40 million investment in the company.
"Once everyone had made the switch to an old-fashioned conference call, the guest told the bankers what they had been wanting to hear: that Ozy was a great success on YouTube, racking up significant views and ad dollars," the Times reported.
"After the meeting, someone on the Goldman Sachs side reached out to Mr. Piper, not through the Gmail address that was provided to participants before the meeting, but through Mr. Piper's assistant at YouTube. That's when things got weird," the Times continued:
A confused Mr. Piper told the Goldman Sachs investor that he had never spoken with her before. Someone else, it seemed, had been playing the part of Mr. Piper on the call with Ozy.
When YouTube learned that someone had apparently impersonated one of their executives at a business meeting, its security team started an investigation, the company confirmed to me. The inquiry didn't get far before a name emerged: Within days, Mr. Watson had apologized profusely to Goldman Sachs, saying the voice on the call belonged to Samir Rao, the co-founder and chief operating officer of Ozy, according to the four people.
The report triggered departures from the company - including Marc Lasry chairman of the Ozy Media board - as well as additional allegations of an abusive work environment. But, the damage was too much, and Ozy announced it was shutting its doors Friday.
Calling it a company with "world-class journalists and experienced professionals to whom we owe tremendous gratitude," the board said it was "with the heaviest of hearts that we must announce today that we are closing Ozy's doors."
Big-time investors in the company include the tech heiress's philanthropic outfit Emerson Collective.
"EC functions primarily as a private business owned by Jobs's personal trust. This shields it from IRS disclosure rules and allows it to more freely engage in political activity," Breitbart News's Alexander Marlow wrote, describing the bombshell revelations about Jobs, the "new Soros," in his New York Times bestseller Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media's Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption.

Wes Edens
Career
Lehman Brothers and BlackRock
He began his career in 1987 atLehman Brothers, where he was a partner and managing director until 1993.[7] He then went to BlackRock's private equity divisionBlackRock Asset Investors, where he remained until 1997 as a partner and managing director.
Fortress Investment Group
Wes Edens was one of five principal partners - Peter (Pete) Briger, Jr., Robert (Rob) Kauffman, Randal (Randy) Nardone and Michael Edward (Mike) Novogratz - who founded Fortress Investments in 1998.[10] Edens investment style was described in a 2007 The Wall Street Journal article as one based on "contrarian bets, creative financing and a knack for building business from investments."[11] Fortress became the first publicly traded buyout firm on February 9, 2007 with Edens and his partners taking the company public through its initial public offering.[9][12] Fortress had sold an 8% share to the public for $600 million by 2009.
By 2007 Fortress assets under management included both private equity and publicly traded alternative investment vehicles - fourteen private equity funds, four hedge funds, and two real estate vehicles, and went public. When the Japanese financial holding company, Nomura Holdings acquired 15% of Fortress for $888 million in December 2006 with proceeds going to the five principals, Edens and his partners became paper billionaires.[13][14] Edens became Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors at Fortress in 2009,[15] and helped the company, which saw its stock price fall to below one dollar after the subprime mortgage crisis,[16] resurge by offering subprime lending.[16] He served as Chairman of Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure Investors LLC from 2015 to May, 2016.
In January 2017 Fortress announced the creation of an eSports (professional video gaming) team called FlyQuest. The team currently has a League of Legends team that competes in the North American League of Legends Championship Series (NA LCS).
Springleaf Financial Services

By 2015 the value of Springleaf Holdings Inc. had ballooned to "$3.5 billion - putting the firm's gain at more than 27 times Fortress's original investment of $124 million in 2010." Edens was heralded as the "new king of subprime lending" by The Wall Street Journal.[16][19] Edens is chairman of the subprime lender Springleaf Financial Services - formerly known as AIG's American General Finance.[18] Fortress acquired 80% of Springleaf in August 2010 for $125 million and used Springleaf and Nationstar to "build out a financial-services business within its private-equity unit, which manages $14.3 billion in assets."
Nationstar
Edens' is chairman of Nationstar Mortgage, formerly known as Centex Home Equity Company, LLC, asubprime home equity mortgage lender, which was acquired by Fortress for $575 million in 2006. In 2005 Centex was "operating in major U.S. markets in 25 states and delivered more than 33,000 homes in the United States."[21] In 2014 Edens' connection to Nationstar Mortgage was cited by opponents of a proposed public-financing deal for the construction of a new arena the Wisconsin Entertainment and Sports Center. They advocated for more public resources to rehabilitate foreclosed homes managed by Nationstar.
Milwaukee Bucks
In 2014 Edens and Marc Lasry purchased the Bucks from Herb Kohl for $550 million, promising to keep the team in Wisconsin and build a new arena to replace the BMO Harris Bradley Center.[2][23] As of February 2018, the NBA franchise was valued at $1.075 billion.

Multi-billionaire Hillary Clinton mega donor Wesley Edens (above left with former President Bill Clinton) soon to control nearly every newspaper in America
WikiLeaks: Top Clinton Donor Paid off Media to Destroy Negative Stories
We have known for a long time that the liberal media was in the tank for Hillary Clinton, with journalists coordinating with the campaign on stories and feeding Hillary questions before debates.
Well, we now know though the latest series of WikiLeaks email leaks that a top Clinton donor allegedly "killed National Enquirer stories" that were damaging to the campaign.
The man in question, hedge fund billionaire Marc Lasry, helped to kill damaging stories that could have been published by the tabloid in a 2011 memo:
The donor, hedge fund billionaire Marc Lasry, "has been helpful on a number of fronts," according to the memo, which was written by longtime Clinton aide Doug Band in Nov. 2011, including "killing potential unfavorable stories in the Enquirer."
Lasry's hedge fund owned approximately $513 million in debt accrued by the Enquirer's publisher American Media, Inc., and according to Politico, Band's insisted Lasry's hedge fund "owns a controlling share of the debt."
While the hedge fund has pushed back on the contents within the emails, Lasry has a long history with the Clintons, and his ties to the Enquirer raise serious questions about what influence he had on destroying anti-Clinton stories:
Other favors done by Lasry for the Clintons, according to Band's memo, include raising and donating huge sums of cash for the Clinton Foundation, lending his plane to the family and employing Chelsea Clinton at Avenue Capital.
Band for years worked closely with Bill Clinton on the former president's business ventures and on the Clinton Foundation's Clinton Global Initiative, and he also worked as a paid advisor to Avenue Capital.
In the memo, he takes credit for introducing the Clintons to Lasry and for helping Chelsea Clinton land a job at Lasry's hedge fund as a chemical industry analyst.
We have also learned that Lasry had ties to the controversial Clinton Foundation, and had an "overlapping involvement" with both the foundation and the Clintons "personal finances" which "highlight the difficulty in disentangling the various phases of what Band derisively called 'Bill Clinton, Inc.'"

Q Research General #8813: Fake Klan March Edition
'The Harvey Weinstein sexual assault saga is a scandal for the ages. But the grave accusations of harassment and, in some cases, rape from over 100 women have helped shed an important if disheartening light on the widespread misconduct of many rich and powerful figures in Hollywood, the media, government and elsewhere.
The story has been so big that it has let another scandal disappear: a corporate backstory about how a group of billionaire board members from the worlds of Wall Street and entertainment let Harvey Weinstein stay in power. It features an all-star cast that included James Dolan and Dirk Ziff-and later, in cameo appearances, Paul Tudor Jones and Marc Lasry-who oversaw an almost unimaginably toxic corporate culture built and led by their friend, according to two directors who long opposed Harvey Weinstein.
In an extraordinary case of governance-gone-awry, these distinguished figures-brilliant in managing their own ventures-allowed themselves to be deceived by a charismatic mogul, whose blatant business abuses, including allegedly spending millions of dollars of TWC funds on his own personal projects, mirror his serial alleged abuse of women.
Weinstein was fired by the board of Weinstein Co. (TWC) on Oct. 8, just three days after the New York Times published a report detailing extensive allegations of abuse and harassment by the Hollywood legend; on Oct. 17, Weinstein resigned from the company's board. (He still retains an ownership stake in the company.)'

Q Research General #8698: Loose and Stupid Edition
Natixis Plunges After Its Ill-Named H20 Fund Sparks Panic Over Illiquid Holdings
Step aside Neil Woodford (and your disastrous investments in illiquid assets), and make room for French bank Natixis (and its own disastrous investments in illiquid assets), whose shares plunged 10% to the lowest in three years, after bond rating giant Morningstar suspended its rating on the woefully-named H2O Asset Management's Allegro Fund yesterday, citing concerns over "the liquidity of certain bonds".
"H20" fund… lack of liquidity… get it?
The questionable Natixis holdings are linked to debt issued by Lars Windhorst, "a flamboyant German entrepreneur with a history of legal troubles" according to the FT, which first flagged the Allegro fund's shady holdings.
ome history: the London-based H20, which oversees about ?30bn of assets, has been a subsidiary of Natixis Investment Managers since it was bought in July 2010. Executives sent a message to clients on Wednesday to reassure them about the liquidity of its investments and that its positions had been "fully disclosed to our clients and auditors".
"The suspension raises concern about the quality of oversight by Natixis management of its network of asset managers," KBW analyst Jean-Pierre Lambert told the FT, adding that in the vein of the Woodford fiasco, the ?250MM performance fee H20 pays Natixis could be affected, and questions should be raised about the French bank's flurry of recent asset management acquisitions and stated ambition for more.
In response, Natixis said on Thursday that suspension of the rating has "absolutely no impact on the liquidity and performance of H2O's funds. H2O will communicate shortly in detail to address all the questions raised by the publication of these elements." The statement added that "the risk of a potential conflict of interest" raised by Morningstar was "groundless."
Of course, a few weeks ago, UK "investment legend" Neil Woodford said the same thing when a "fund run" on his assets resulted in an unprecedented gating of investors when the market is trading at all time highs. Now, it's Natixis' turn to discover just why all those warnings written here and elsewhere about illiquid bond investments should have been taken seriously.
According to a previous report by FT Alphaville, H2O's filings list investments in more than ?1.4bn of illiquid bonds linked to Windhorst, across six funds that allow retail investors to withdraw their money on a daily basis.
H2O appears to be by far the biggest investor in many of these bonds. It often holds the majority of the outstanding amount across the firm, according to FT calculations based on each fund's latest regulatory filings.
Windhorst, once seen as a teenage prodigy and poster boy for entrepreneurship in his native Germany, saw his reputation crater after he presides over several insolvencies, a personal bankruptcy and received a suspended jail sentence in 2009. He relaunched his investment firm last month in an attempt to draw a line under several tricky years, which saw him and his company Sapinda engaged in legal battles involving at least ?220m with several investors - including Ukraine-born billionaire Sir Len Blavatnik.
The plot thickened after H2O's CEO, Bruno Crastes joined a new advisory board of Windhorst's rebranded Tennor Holding last month, along with fund management heavyweights Martin Gilbert and Avenue's Marc Lasry, who is also vice-chairman of UK asset manager Standard Life Aberdeen. In all, across these investors, they owns tens of billions in illiquid bonds and may well be engaging in marking-to-myth by occasionally "buying" each other's bonds at specifics prices just to give the impression of a liquid market across billions in illiquid bond holdings.
Potential collusion aside, Morningstar on Wednesday said that Crastes's board seat posed "a possible conflict of interest".
not a possible conflict but 100% certainty
Still, even if the "illiquid" H20 fund investments turn out to be a tempest in a teapot, Natixis has many other shady investment problems: the stock has plunged 36% in the past 12 months, even before today's 10% plunge.
In February the bank said its fourth-quarter earnings were cut in half after some Asian derivatives trades went bad, prompting questions about its risk appetite and management.
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-06-20/natixis-plunges-after-its-ill-named-h20-fund-sparks-panic-over-illiquid-holdings
this guy, not as bad as dykstra because he actually did/does something, but lived "the life" on the backs on his clients.
a classic example of mark-to-model
this is when they produce internal reports that say a certain asset is worth 'X' and then carry it on the books that way-even though there are plenty of mark-to-market prices available.
Mark-to-market =real prices derived from an exchange or accepted pricing mechanism.

CNAS ties to Obama administration (who knew)
http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/center_for_a_new_american_security/
Founded in 2007, the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) is widely considered to be an important source of national security and military analysis for the Obama administration, particularly with respect to counterinsurgency strategy (COIN). Described by the Los Angeles Times as "a haven for hawkish Democrats,"[1] CNAS calls itself an "independent and nonpartisan research institution" that aims to engage "policymakers, experts, and the public with innovative fact-based research, ideas, and analysis to shape and elevate the national security debate."[2]
CNAS' leading role in Obama-era policy-making was highlighted when in 2009 the organization's cofounders-Michele Flournoy and Kurt Campbell-as well as several other CNAS scholars were tapped to serve in the administration.[3] Flournoy became the undersecretary of defense for policy, the same post held by the controversial neoconservative figure Douglas Feith during the first George W. Bush administration. Campbell was tapped to serve as the State Department's lead Asia expert.[
https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Center_for_a_New_American_Security
As of November 2008, its program topics include Iraq, energy security and climate change, WMD and nuclear proliferation, terrorism and irregular warfare, U.S. foreign policy, and U.S. military forces and operations. [2]

Q Research General #3276 Dirty Dog Edition
So I noticed this today in the NY Post regarding James Dolan, the owner of the NY Knicks & NY Rangers in an article written by Emily Smith.
https:// pagesix.com/2018/08/13/ritzy-event-tells-james-dolan-he-cant-perform-song-about-weinstein-allegations/
"MSG and Knicks boss Jim Dolan was all set to perform his new song about Harvey Weinstein and sexual harassment at the starry Apollo in the Hamptons event with his band on Saturday - but he pulled out after he was ordered not to sing that song for the crowd of one-percenters.
Dolan and his band, JD and the Straight Shot, had been scheduled to perform at the event for the famed Apollo Theater, known as the Hamptons party of the summer, alongside huge acts including Chaka Khan, Sting, Jon Bon Jovi and Chris Martin last Saturday at billionaire Ron Perelman's East Hampton estate. But a source said Dolan was dismayed when Apollo event organizers called him and warned him not to sing "I should've known."
A spokeswoman for Dolan confirmed the song snafu, saying in a statement to Page Six, "Jim was looking forward to performing "I should've known' with his band, JD and the Straight Shot. Unfortunately, the Apollo leadership deemed it too controversial and asked him to perform one of his other songs. This is something that Jim was not comfortable doing."
The song's lyrics lament, "I should have thrown myself across his tracks/stopped him from these vile attacks." Dolan has said the song is not just about Weinstein, but speaks to the "abuse by men in power."
He recently explained to Fox Five, "I've actually talked to a lot of my other friends who obviously know all these folks right - I wonder what could I have done, what did I miss?... Because if you were friends with any of those people, a lot of them were people we never would have thought that about."
Dolan is a longtime friend of Weinstein, who is facing rape and sexual assault charges in New York. Dolan and Weinstein worked together on the Radio City Spring Spectacular, and the MSG chief also served on the board of the Weinstein Company but left after a year in 2016.
While Dolan got a mixed reception for the new song from his band's forthcoming album in the press, the first source added, "They asked him to perform a different song instead. He was shocked that the Apollo would tell an artist how and what to perform. Not many other men are singing about this."
The source pointed out this felt deeply ironic since the Harlem venue was famed for giving new innovative artists a voice - plus Dolan even sits on the board of the iconic theater.
"I think the Apollo was worried about getting bad press for the event if JD performed the song," the source added, "Plus, there's always many powerful men at Perelman's house, and perhaps they feared someone might be offended. Jim and his band didn't appreciate being censored so they pulled out and didn't go." Guests in previous years (but not this year) have included Weinstein, Matt Lauer and Charlie Rose, who have all faced numerous allegations of misconduct.
Notable guests who did party late into the night on Saturday at Perelman's bash included Robert Downey Jr., Jimmy Fallon and Nancy Juvoven, Zach Braff, Jimmy and Jane Buffett, Molly Simms and Scott Stuber, Robert Smith, Don Johnson and Charles Philips.
The event was co-chaired by Perelman, Jon Bon Jovi - who performed along with Jamie Foxx, The Roots and Pharell Williams - Dick Parsons and Patriots owner Robert Kraft. The annual bash raises money for the famous Harlem theater and its educational programs - and has so far raised more than $20 million.
A source with direct knowledge of the conversations said, "Apollo in the Hamptons is a celebration of the rich history, music and culture that the iconic Apollo theater represents and raises millions of dollars to support the theater, its artistic work and educational programs. While we appreciate Jim and his band's sincere emotional connection to the song, the producers determined it was not the right fit for show."
Reps for Perelman - who is also a longtime friend of Dolan - and the Apollo didn't immediately comment.
Dolan is also named in the Harvey Weinstein Civil Suit:

Here's that number again
For Clintons, a Hedge Fund in the Family
Since marrying Chelsea Clinton five years ago, Marc Mezvinsky, a money manager, appears to have settled into his life as Bill and Hillary Clinton's son-in-law. He has regularly appeared at charitable events, once introducing the former president at the Clinton Foundation's celebrity poker tournament by dryly saying, "You may have heard of my father-in-law." And at the recent N.B.A. All-Star Game, Mr. Mezvinsky took a seat next to Mr. Clinton and his partner in charitable endeavors, Dikembe Mutombo, the former basketball star.
Beyond the glamour, being part of the Clinton family has provided Mr. Mezvinsky with another perk: access to wealthy investors with ties to the Clintons.
When Mr. Mezvinsky and his partners began raising money in 2011 for a new hedge fund firm, Eaglevale Partners, a number of investors in the firm were longtime supporters of the Clintons, according to interviews and financial documents reviewed by The New York Times. Tens of millions of dollars raised by Eaglevale can be attributed to investors with some relationship or link to the Clintons.
The investors include hedge fund managers like Marc Lasry and James Leitner; an overseas money management firm connected to the Rothschild family; and people from Goldman Sachs, including the chief executive, Lloyd C. Blankfein. Some of the investors in Eaglevale have contributed campaign money to the former president and Mrs. Clinton, who is widely expected to run for president again in 2016. Some have also contributed to the family's foundation.
Identifying who put money into Eaglevale, a roughly $400 million fund that has had underwhelming returns for much of its brief history, is difficult because hedge funds do not publicly disclose their investors. Still, the overlap between at least some of Eaglevale's investors and backers of the Clintons illustrates how politics and finance can intersect and shows the fine line the Clinton family must navigate as their charitable and business endeavors come under scrutiny in an election cycle.
A person briefed on the matter and close to the firm said the amount of investor money recruited by Mr. Mezvinsky is not large, amounting to less than 10 percent of the firm's total outside capital. Clinton supporters also say there are more direct ways to cultivate favor with the family, such as giving to the foundation, where Chelsea Clinton is vice chairwoman, than by investing with a hedge fund that her husband co-founded.

- Apr 27, 2018 -
Former President Bill Clinton, a friend of Milwaukee Bucks co-owners Marc Lasry and Wes Edens, attended Game 6 of the Milwaukee-Boston series on Thursday.
Clinton, who has attended games before with Lasry and Edens, also met with former Bucks owner and former U.S. Senator Herb Kohl before the game.
He sat courtside with Lasry once the game began.
Clinton was also on the court pregame with Lasry, who along with Edens, is a big-time Democratic supporter and donor. Lasry's son Alex, who is a senior vice president of strategy and operations for the Bucks, worked in President Barack Obama's White House.
Bill and Hillary Clinton also attended the wedding of Lasry's daughter, Sophie, in August.
Chelsea Clinton worked at Lasry's Avenue Capital Group for three years.

Following the Mezvinsky:
https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Mezvinsky
Marc Mezvinsky (born December 15, 1977) is an American investment banker and co-founder of the now-defunct hedge fund Eaglevale Partners.
He is the husband of Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton.
After graduation, he worked for eight years as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs before leaving to join a private equity firm, but left to start his own hedge fund. In 2011, he co-founded a Manhattan-based hedge fund firm, Eaglevale Partners, with two long-time partners, Bennett Grau and Mark Mallon.
(when sought funding for hedge fund in 2011, found financial backing from one of the biggest names on Wall Street: Goldman Sachs chief executive Lloyd Blankfein. The fund, called Eaglevale Partners, was founded by Marc Mezvinsky, and two of his partners. Blankfein not only personally invested in the fund, but allowed his association with it to be used in the fund's marketing.) [scam by using Blankfein's name?]
Mezvinski established a $325 million offshore fund under Eaglevale Partners in 2012 through a special arrangement with Goldman Sachs
In 2011, after eight years with Goldman Sachs, Mezvinsky formed a new hedge fund called Eaglevale Partners. He partnered with former Goldman colleagues Bennett Grau and Mark Mallon.
"Investors include hedge fund managers like Marc Lasry and James Leitner; _ an overseas money management firm connected to the Rothschild family__; people from Goldman Sachs, including the chief executive, Lloyd C. Blankfein".
Many Eaglevale investors are also benefactors of Bill and Hillary Clintons' political careers. "Some of the investors in Eaglevale have contributed campaign money to the former president and Mrs. Clinton.
The senior Clintons and Mezvinskys were friends in the 1990s; their children met on a Renaissance Weekend retreat in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
"released emails from Hillary Clinton's private server reveal that in 2012, while still Secretary of State, _she shared classified information about how Germany viewed the prospects for a Greek bailout, as her son-in-law, Marc Mezvinsky, heavily invested in a hedge fund centered on Greek bonds___"
<<<<====
When there is goldman sucks and rottenshield money in a fund they WILL TRY every trick to make it win, and not lose money…. including asking state secrets from the state department…. and then HRC revealed classified information to Marc Mezvinsky about German views of Greek bailouts… relevant to Marc Mezvinsky's fund holdings…

In 2004, Rahm Emanuel introduced me to Marc Lasry; Rahm and I later introduced President Clinton to him at an event for Mr. Emanuel in 2004. Mr. Lasry is a good example of the complex relationships a friend/supporter can have within the Foundation. Mr. Lasry has held two Foundation fundraisers at his home, which raised several hundred thousand dollars. In [year], I became a paid advisor to Mr. Lasry's firm, Avenue Capital and subsequently introduced Mr. Lasry to Chelsea Clinton Mezvinsky. Mrs. Mezvinsky went to work for Mr. Lasry at Avenue Capital in [year] and continued working for him through [year].
Mr. Lasry, like other Foundation donors, has a multifaceted relationship with the Foundation and the President. He has been helpful on a number of fronts, including hosting Foundation fundraising events at his home, responding favorably to our requests to use his plane for Foundation and the Clintons' personal purposes, killing potential unfavorable stories in the Enquirer (of which he owns a controlling share of the debt), assisting Marc Mezvinsky - Chelsea Clinton Mezvinsky's husband - in raising money for his new fund and securing President Clinton to give for a paid speech.

The investors include hedge fund managers like Marc Lasry and James Leitner; an overseas money management firm connected to the Rothschild family; and people from Goldman Sachs, including the chief executive, Lloyd C. Blankfein. Some of the investors in Eaglevale have contributed campaign money to the former president and Mrs. Clinton, who is widely expected to run for president again in 2016. Some have also contributed to the family's foundation.
In 2012, Eaglevale raised $15 million from an investment vehicle in the domain of Jacob Rothschild, who with members of his far-flung family has donated to the Clinton Foundation. The investment, financial records show, came before President Clinton spoke at a conference in Oxford that was sponsored by the Rothschild Foundation, of which Mr. Rothschild is chairman.
Mr. Rothschild declined to comment through Tom Burns, a spokesman for his firm, RIT Capital Partners. A person briefed on the matter and close to Eaglevale, but not authorized to speak publicly, said Mr. Clinton's appearance at the conference had nothing to do with the investment from the Rothschild-managed firm, Trading Capital Holdings.

Laurene Powell Jobs Burned After Digital Media Firm She Invested in Shuts Down over Allegations of Fraud
Digital media firm Ozy Media abruptly shut down Friday following allegations of fraud and a reportedly toxic workplace environment, leaving big-time investors, including Laurene Powell Jobs - the powerful leftist billionaire widow of Steve Jobs - in the dust with their multimillion-dollar investments.
The company, founded in 2013, abruptly shut down this week following the publication of a damaging New York Times article, reporting that someone at Ozy allegedly impersonated a YouTube executive during a business meeting with Goldman Sachs investors, who were apparently considering a $40 million investment in the company.
"Once everyone had made the switch to an old-fashioned conference call, the guest told the bankers what they had been wanting to hear: that Ozy was a great success on YouTube, racking up significant views and ad dollars," the Times reported.
"After the meeting, someone on the Goldman Sachs side reached out to Mr. Piper, not through the Gmail address that was provided to participants before the meeting, but through Mr. Piper's assistant at YouTube. That's when things got weird," the Times continued:
A confused Mr. Piper told the Goldman Sachs investor that he had never spoken with her before. Someone else, it seemed, had been playing the part of Mr. Piper on the call with Ozy.
When YouTube learned that someone had apparently impersonated one of their executives at a business meeting, its security team started an investigation, the company confirmed to me. The inquiry didn't get far before a name emerged: Within days, Mr. Watson had apologized profusely to Goldman Sachs, saying the voice on the call belonged to Samir Rao, the co-founder and chief operating officer of Ozy, according to the four people.
The report triggered departures from the company - including Marc Lasry chairman of the Ozy Media board - as well as additional allegations of an abusive work environment. But, the damage was too much, and Ozy announced it was shutting its doors Friday.
Calling it a company with "world-class journalists and experienced professionals to whom we owe tremendous gratitude," the board said it was "with the heaviest of hearts that we must announce today that we are closing Ozy's doors."
Big-time investors in the company include the tech heiress's philanthropic outfit Emerson Collective.
"EC functions primarily as a private business owned by Jobs's personal trust. This shields it from IRS disclosure rules and allows it to more freely engage in political activity," Breitbart News's Alexander Marlow wrote, describing the bombshell revelations about Jobs, the "new Soros," in his New York Times bestseller Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media's Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption.
