Columbus Nova - A Muellerized Russian Prawn for the unfounded facts of Justice

Connecting Success Factors to Bennett

The Dubious Phone Call and Time Wasting Project
The folks at TPG will have to answer to my Whistleblower Complaints on the truly odd collection of RFPs emanating from companies connected to Richard Blum, William McGlashan, CBRE, Regency Centers, Trammell Crow, Lennar, Catellus.

My story is about witness murders, private equity, mergers and acquisitions linked back to the Matter of Bennett v. Southern Pacific lost in 1989.  It was a winnable case as long the witnesses testified.

Columbus Nova Statement In Response to Inaccurate Media Reports

Columbus Nova is an investment management company solely owned and controlled by Americans. After the inauguration, the firm hired Michael Cohen as a business consultant regarding potential sources of capital and potential investments in real estate and other ventures. Reports that Viktor Vekselberg used Columbus Nova as a conduit for payments to Michael Cohen are false. The claim that Viktor Vekselberg was involved or provided any funding for Columbus Nova's engagement of Michael Cohen is patently untrue. Neither Viktor Vekselberg nor anyone else outside of Columbus Nova was involved in the decision to hire Cohen or provided funding for his engagement.

Additionally, contrary to recent reports, Columbus Nova LLC and Renova U.S. Management, LLC (operated under the Columbus Nova umbrella) are not now, nor have ever been, owned by any foreign entity or person. In fact, since its founding nearly 20 years ago, Columbus Nova has been and continues to be 100% owned by Americans.

As reported in May 2018 by The New York Times, the Renova Group is Columbus Nova’s biggest client. When Columbus Nova formed a management company under the name Renova U.S. Management, its largest client at the time was a Renova Group company. Throughout its existence, Columbus Nova has managed assets on behalf of Renova Group companies and other clients. Columbus Nova itself is not now, and has never been, owned by any foreign entity or person including Viktor Vekselberg or the Renova Group. The same is true with regard to all investment management companies under the Columbus Nova umbrella.

Special Counsel Mueller on PanAm -

Robert S. Mueller III touched down in Concord to prosecute a massive hashish bust.

Robert Mueller and the San Francisco hash bust of 1978

On a spring day in 1974, just across the street from where now stands the Westfield Mall, cops hauled 1,800 pounds of marijuana and 46 pounds of hashish from high-security trucks into the San Francisco Mint Building.
More than $450,000 worth of drugs, seized by U.S. Customs over a two-year period, went up in smoke that afternoon. The flames were snuffed in the Mint's after-burner, "lest they induce a gigantic high." The story ran in the May 18, 1974 edition of The San Francisco Chronicle 
Media: San Francisco Chronicle
Four years later, a young
Robert S. Mueller III touched down in Concord to prosecute a massive hashish bust. Then the Assistant U.S. Attorney, Mueller has become a household name as the special counsel presiding over the FBI's current Russia probe.
See more photos of massive drug busts in the San Francisco Bay Area – including a motorcycle cop with a 150-pound sack of pot on his lap – in the above slideshow.
These obscure vignettes reflect a time that may soon be resigned to Bay Area history. Californians voted to legalize the recreational use and sale of cannabis last year. The law goes into effect Monday. However, many of the photos above are from federal busts, which may still be carried out despite California's changing laws.
