Wasn't Kolomoisky one of the oligarchs that backed the overthrow of the previous pro-Russian government as well as financed the current president of Ukraine? I am wondering what went wrong for him with the US, was it just Trump in power instead of a more friendly politician?
- crusty 6y agoIt seems like this scheme was unraveling before Trump came into office. If it hadn't been, Trump may have proved to be good for him, in driving renewed optimism for domestic steel production and simultaneously stripping regulatory bodies like the EPA of oversight and enforcement capacity. That this scheme was even considered seems like a more general enddictment of the history of US corporate and industrial regulatory oversight... Just put it on the wall next to the SEC and Wall Street, with highlights on Bernie Madoff and the subprime mortgage crisis.
