I can't load the article, but I found this piece published by the Times in 2019: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/01/business/val-broeksmit-deutsche-bank-trump-whistle-blower.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/01/business/val-broeksmit-de... It describes Broeksmit as "an unemployed rock musician with a history of opioid abuse and credit card theft," so his disappearance could have any number of explanations.

I think you mean "any number of alibis".

And Broeksmit's response: https://threader.app/thread/1254006990440763393 https://threader.app/thread/1254006990440763393 (also here: https://twitter.com/BikiniRobotArmy/status/1254006990440763393 https://twitter.com/BikiniRobotArmy/status/12540069904407633...)

FWIW, the author of that article posted this to Twitter April 16th [0]: > Val Broeksmit @BikiniRobotArmy – a longtime source about Deutsche Bank – is missing. > He was last seen on April 6 in Los Angeles, his girlfriend says. A missing persons report has been filed with @LAPDHQ. > I am very worried about Val's safety. Please spread the word. [0]: https://twitter.com/davidenrich/status/1383206855263019009 https://twitter.com/davidenrich/status/1383206855263019009 —————————— From the image in the followup tweet: "He was last seen driving a 2020 red Mini Cooper. The vehicle has been recovered but he has not been seen since ..." That doesn't sound too good.

The NYT is mostly shills and this is a perfect example...puts out an article discrediting the whistleblower rather than frame the negativity towards the big corrupt bank with lots of NYC connections. And now you use the shill hit piece as a source when the guy goes missing.

  What is the connection between NY and Berlin? Russia. Russia is the connection. Organized crime at the political level.

    Yup, the multiple felonious banks like DB, HSBC, and JPM that are still allowed to operate with slaps on wrists from US/German/British/etc regulators that are fractions of the profits received (and continued cash flows) from felonious activities all trace back to Russian control. No other explanations/theories of what is going on here are possible.

    No I mean all world banks have a presence in NYC bc it's the finance capital of the world. NY Times in reality is a shill shop who caters to big money and in-vogue politics. Russia's not as bad as the media makes them out to be.
