DOJ indictment: buff.ly/5oJajMy
After all this, Derkach fled to Russia, became a senator, and Putin gave him the Hero of Russia medal at the Kremlin in December 2025. He once told Time that Giuliani was "very useful for me." Giuliani said the chance Derkach was a spy was "50/50."
Meanwhile, Derkach's family office in Kyiv laundered $100M stolen from Energoatom, Ukraine's state nuclear company. His ex-aide 'Rocket' controlled procurement. NABU found items marked "Federal Protective Service of Russia" inside. Same agent, two fronts.
Andriy Derkach: KGB school grad. The U.S. Treasury called him "an active Russian agent for over a decade." DOJ indicted him on 7 counts. Met Giuliani in Kyiv Dec 2019, gave him fabricated Biden docs, filmed his show, released doctored tapes Trump used at the debate.
You've heard Trump going on about Hunter Biden's laptop. The man who fed that story to Giuliani? A Russian agent -- who simultaneously helped run a $100M corruption scheme gutting Ukraine's nuclear company. His reward: Hero of Russia from Putin. Thread.
Rep. Tony Gonzales had a sexual relationship with his subordinate staffer. She got a 26% raise during the affair. When it was discovered, the raises stopped. She died by self-immolation at 35. He denied it for six months. Thread ⬇️

“A 63-year-old man was charged Sunday with two counts of felony battery on a person 65 or older, and his 51-year-old wife, who also joined the fight in Port Orange, was charged with a single count of felony battery on a person 65 or older”

The FCPA Unit is down to ~15 prosecutors. Half of January 2025 levels. The SEC FCPA Unit head retired. Staff reassigned. No policy announcements in 2025. The enforcement infrastructure for corporate anti-bribery is being hollowed out while individuals face full prosecution.
TIGO Guatemala bribed members of Congress with cash from narcotrafficking. Penalty: $118M deferred prosecution agreement. $118M = 1,903 teacher salaries. That is the corporate price of admission to the two-tier system.
The individual scorecard: Carl Zaglin: 8 years in prison, $2M forfeited. Alexandro Rovirosa: convicted, PEMEX bribery. Glenn Oztemel: 15 months, Petrobras scheme. DOJ's own guidelines now call for focusing on individuals rather than corporate structures.
The corporate scorecard: 3 total enforcement actions (down from 9). $122.8M in penalties (down from $1.357B). A 91% drop. Liberty Mutual: declination, no charges. TIGO Guatemala: pay $118M, keep operating. The SEC brought ZERO new FCPA cases.
The FCPA is supposed to punish bribery equally. In 2025, it did not. Liberty Mutual paid $1.47M in bribes over 5 years. DOJ declined to charge them. A Georgia businessman? 8 years in federal prison. Same law. Two systems. Thread.

Camp East Montana got $1.2B. Run by Acquisition Logistics LLC, headquartered at a suburban house in Virginia. 39 employees. No detention experience. 3 dead in 44 days. 1 ruled homicide. Now a measles outbreak. The "epitome of fraud, waste, and abuse." #AntiCorruption
Thi Dua Vang, a Hmong refugee from St. Paul, was sent to Texas and released alone in Houston. No phone. No ID. No ride. Agents refused to let her wait inside. She says they told her they didn't care if she lived or died.
Inside the Whipple Federal Building, cells designed to hold 20 people held 100 people. No beds. Concrete floors. A young Muslim woman was shackled at the ankles and locked in a bathroom with three men for 24 hours. ICE's own attorney admitted the system "sucks."
ICE released people into a Minnesota winter without coats, phones, or IDs. A federal judge documented 210 violations of court orders across 143 cases. One person was missing his shoes. Another, a shoelace. This is a system. Thread.

The NY Post labeled him “America’s first Groyper candidate.” Linked to Nick Fuentes. H sells Pepe merch. Called his Black opponent “a slave” on Day 1. Now Waffle House won’t let him in. It is literally more responsible than the Florida GOP. Subscribe: dekleptocracy.substack.com

NBC News: Broward County School District cut ties in 2022 over allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a 17-year-old at his debate nonprofit. Court records show she alleged he directed her to keep it secret. Fishback denies wrongdoing.
The pattern: sued by Greenlight Capital for faking his title. Lobbied Trump for a Fed Board seat — the administration concluded he fabricated the entire news cycle. His ETFs were shut down by independent trustees
Fishback appeared on cable news as a “DOGE adviser.” Multiple senior DOGE officials told ABC News he never held any role. A Musk spokesperson corrected him publicly. He acknowledged he was never a paid DOGE employee.
A Florida governor candidate faked his DOGE credentials, faces allegations involving a 17-year-old, sells Groyper merch — and just got banned from every Waffle House in the state.Thread on James Fishback 🧵

The career DOJ pardon attorney was fired for refusing to restore gun rights for Mel Gibson. Federal pardon operations are now run by a pardoned cocaine trafficker. Lobbyists charge $1M per application. $298M in victim restitution erased. "No MAGA left behind."

Don Jr.'s college roommate signed a gas deal with a sanctioned Russian energy company. He says it's "known at the highest levels" in Moscow and Washington. He calls himself "a bringer of peace."
Trump's Iran war is pushing up energy prices. Watch who profits next. #FollowTheMoney #AntiCorruption
Don Jr.'s venture fund collected $735M+ in Pentagon contracts. He screened Pentagon nominees while holding a stake in a drone company. The fund grew from $200M to $2B in one year.
Peter Thiel built it. This is the broligarchy at work.
