I don't think anything will happen on this also.
The next issue for him are the taxes and him not registering as a foreign agent. The judge was not happy with prosecution because of the plea agreement which basically let him off and a minimum fine. So that's going to be interesting. This is where the banking information is key. You can see money in, money out, and money in illegal accounts overseas.
Just as a note here, The Treasury Department said that it was “imposing nearly 100 sanctions on Russian elites and Russia’s industrial base, financial institutions, and technology suppliers as the United States continues to leverage sanctions and economic restrictions to undermine Russia’s capacity to wage its war against Ukraine.”
Oligarchs Yelena Baturina and Vladimir Yevtushenkov weren’t among the new targets — even though they have similarities to other newly sanctioned businesspeople.
Baturina, the former first lady of Moscow, assembled her $1.3 billion fortune through real estate and investments and dined with Hunter Biden and then-Vice President Joe Biden at least once at DC’s Café Milano. For reasons that remain unclear, she transferred $3.5 million in February 2014 to a firm controlled by Hunter and his associate Devon Archer.
That to me, is extremely interesting. Baturina is the one Hunter structured and funneled money for while working for them. And they're still able to launder money through the US, which means their Rubles (exchanged into either USD or EU at a higher rate) are worth much more than putting them into the Chinese system.
This makes that trial even more interesting.
