SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 24 – As Inner City
Press covered the OneCoin
trial this month, a number of
names of indicted
co-conspirators emerged on
which we are now following up.
One of
them was Amer Abdulaziz
Salman. From his Phoenix
Thoroughbred's, Inner City
Press is informed that Dermot
Farrington has left.
As Inner City Press
exclusively reported on
November 6, surprise
cooperating witness Konstantin
Ignatov brought up Amer
Abdulaziz during his
testimony, live-tweeted
@InnerCityPress, and see here.
Now those
tweets are used without any
credit in a derivative article
by the Racing Post's Peter
Scargill - apparently
dodginess pervades the part of
the industry; we'll have more
on this.
As we've previously noted,
through his Phoenix fund, Amer
Abdulaziz has been buying up
thoroughbred horses. Among
those he's worked with, and
with whom authorities may wish
to speak and even play
lets-make-a-deal are Tom Ludt
and, having broken with
Phoenix Thoroughbreds, Kerri
Radcliffe.
Phoenix
Thoroughbred's horses have
included "Advertise," the son
of Showcasing, set to begin a
stallion career projected to
be lucrative at the National
Stud in New Market in 2020.
But is it
all based on money laundering
for OneCoin? And what of the
royals who have been linked
in, not only Queen Elizabeth
through the Jockey Club but
also the al Thani family of
Qatar, the Maktoum family of
Dubai and the Saudi royals,
whom some sources tell Inner
City Press have harbored Ruja
Ignatova herself . We'll have
more on this. More on Patreon
here.
"It's the
perfect front for money
laundering," one
horse-breeding industry
participant
told Inner City Press on
condition of anonymity.
During the trial, Inner City
Press tweeted its surprise the
Amer Abdulaziz was, unlike
Ruja Ignatova, living in plain
sight. It has continued: he
has re-tweeted as recently as
November 20.
While some say he is going
into hiding, it would seem
that the US FBI or its
overseas partners could easily
bring him in. So
why haven't they? This is the
third in an Inner City Press
series. More on Patreon here.
