6. Wouldn't be as interesting as you would hope.

Government lawyers would know it's a loser of a case and they would quickly settle making the employee wealthy, but with a gag clause.

In other words, we wouldn't hear much about it.

Along with Deutsche Bank, Ross’ bank laundered billions for Putin’s Oligarchs working money out of Russia. Billions.

Excerpt...

The Appleby files show how Ross, Trump’s commerce secretary, has used a chain of Cayman Islands entities to maintain a financial stake in Navigator Holdings, a shipping company whose top clients include the Kremlin-linked energy firm Sibur. Among Sibur’s key owners are Kirill Shamalov, Russian President Putin’s son-in-law, and Gennady Timchenko, a billionaire the U.S. government sanctioned in 2014 because of his links to Putin. Sibur is a major customer of Navigator, paying the company more than $23 million in 2016.
