"SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Across from a Holiday Inn, in a red-brick building with a welcome sign that reads “The Heart of America,” a little-known financial firm set up shop seven years ago and extended an invitation to the world’s elite.

Among those who answered the call: a Colombian textile magnate caught in a scheme to launder the proceeds of an international drug ring, an orange juice mogul who settled with authorities in Brazil for allegedly colluding to underpay local farmers, and family members of the former president of a sugar producer in the Dominican Republic that has been accused of exploiting laborers and forcibly evicting families from their homes.

2. This has been outstanding. Cenziper has a very long list of awards for

Past journalism work.

I would like the post to unleash this team on investigating Republicans’ collusion in Jan. 6.

4. I still have hope for the Sedition Memo forcing corporate media to reflect on their support

for anti-democracy because that’s a clear as you can get example.

Perhaps with all the gathering mountain of evidence of sedition mixed with corporate and Uber wealthy corruption, mostly from those who are corporate shareholders, the tide will turn?
