There's a very similar story involving the Clintons.
Hillary Clinton's brother, Tony Rodham, and her 2008 campaign manager and former governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe, were involved in a Green-Card investment scheme that looks pretty shady. Rich Chinese people were told they were investing in an electric car startup. With political big shots involved, they thought the scheme was legitimate and had political backing. The money disappeared with little to show in the way of actual electric-car development, and the investors sued.

- roywiggins 7y agoThere is, I suppose, a limited number of schemes, and most of these people are not that creative. The main thing missing here is that Kushner has a direct ownership stake. Mayorkas was just, uh, helping out a buddy? It's not great! (also, a hilarious turn of phrase: "Rodham’s sister was secretary of state")
- DiogenesKynikos 7y agoMcAuliffe had a stake in the company: "McAuliffe was once the largest individual investor in the company but stepped down as chairman in 2012 and sold his shares as he prepared to be sworn in as governor in 2014." Rodham was apparently President and CEO of an investment firm backing the electric car company.
