“Says Who?” – Piecing Together the Michael Cohen Story
By Josh Marshall | March 1, 2017 3:01 pm

<SNIP>

Cohen also got into the business of casino boats. Cohen was the CEO of MLA Cruises, a Florida-based casino company which took patrons out of US territorial waters to gamble legally. This partnership was with two other Ukrainian immigrants, Arkady Vaygensberg and Leonid Tatarchuk. When Cohen made an unsuccessful run for the New York City Council in 2003 he listed his occupations as “Co-owner of Taxi Funding Corp. and a fleet of more than 200 taxis, and CEO of MLA Cruises, Inc., and of the Atlantic Casino.” MLA Cruises was incorporated in 2002 and dissolved in 2006.

Press attention has tended to focus on people like Carter Page and Paul Manafort and Mike Flynn. But Cohen plays a far more central role in this era of Trump’s business history than these others. He is also the only one who shows up clearly acting as a go-between to the President for someone trying to shift administration policy to reduce or eliminate sanctions on Russia. Carter Page has very little connection with Trump. It’s not entirely clear the two men have ever met. Trump’s relationship with Paul Manafort goes back to the 2006-07 period, well before the campaign. But they were at best acquaintances for the last decade. It’s Cohen who has a had a decade-long and very close working relationship with Trump.

If we are looking for the trail of money from the former Soviet Union into The Trump Organization and a key player during the era when that capital became far more central to Trump’s business, Cohen seems like a much more logical place to look than Manafort, Page, Flynn or any of the others.

Now read this.

A name listed under that business, Arkady Vaygensberg, is in that buzzfeed article with Cohen as partners. These are some really shady folks. I wonder what ran through the second corporation.

I’m not the best at reading legal documents but this seems short and to the point. October 2015.
