Looks like money laundering.

On edit: just learned on Stephanie Ruhle's show that this is David Weiss, the special prosecutor.

(17,324 posts)That say he is 43.
There's a pic on this page (can't link to image) that, albeit wearing mask & face covering, looks like a much younger man that the one you pictured.

I hope he's in the FBI dungeon somewhere, being flipped like an egg.

(82,133 posts)Smirnov is 43 years old and has no prior criminal history.
He has hired the high-powered Las Vegas law firm of Chesnoff & Schonfeld. Chesnoff was law partners with Oscar Goodman before Goodmans entrance into politics. His celebrity clients range from Paris Hilton to Mike Tyson to former Las Vegas Raider Henry Ruggs.
Hes currently being housed in a federal detention facility in Pahrump.
Smirnov holds an Israeli passport in addition to his U.S. passport, which was seized by federal authorities.
He is charged with making false statements to a government agent and falsifying records in a federal investigation.
Smirnov has served as a confidential FBI informant for several years, and the violations stem from events in 2020.
Hes in a long-term relationship with his significant other, Las Vegas resident Diana Lavrenyuk. They live in Levrenyuks home, purchased two years ago when she moved from California.
Smirnov has significant medical issues related to his eyes, and has had seven surgeries in the past year, requiring ongoing care and daily medication.
He has a close relationship with a cousin in Florida, Linor Shefer, who is expected to be in Las Vegas for his court appearance.

(36,169 posts)Also, I wonder if the black material over his eyes has to do with the eye problem he has.
Maybe he can't see the light of day.
The other two are trying to disguise themselves, as well. This says to me that they all perceive a threat and that threat will most logically come from putin.

WOW!
You may remember that last week, we learned that Special Counsel David Weiss charged one of the GOPs star witnesses against Joe Biden, former FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, with lying about financial ties between Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and Burisma.
Now we learn that Weiss says that Smirnov had contact with Russian intelligence agencies.
Is it me, or do Republicans in Congress always seem to be working with the Russians on something? Perhaps thats why they are so against helping Ukraine?

(9,317 posts)It is astonishing how photos of him seem non-existent. Lazy press? How can you get that screenshot on Google search? Maybe the press will pick up on it.
Think. Again.
(10,364 posts)Well done!
It seems that the idea of "there are no pictures of smirnoff!" is some kind of red herring being put out there by the media for some devious reason.
Emrys
(7,370 posts)There are perils in identification via social media, and even the MSM can get things wrong. The video clip subtitles his name with a slightly different spelling, understandable in the ways transliteration of Russian to English varies, then goes on to spell it Smirnov in the same item.
The face looks older than I'd expect from what little one can see in the swaddled perp walk pics.
I offer it with the best of intentions, but we know how they can work out. Presumably we'll have a definitive identification and clear mugshot in the fulness of time.
One thing we can probably safely say from the perp walk pics is that he wears orange crocs. That must narrow down the field a bit.
Think. Again.
