Quote
Rudy Giuliani's former associate Lev Parnas was convicted on six counts related to "influence buying" campaign finance schemes.

A jury of eight men and four women found Parnas guilty of scheming with co-conspirators to use a Russian backer's money to fund political contributions they hoped to trade for political favor for their budding joint cannabis venture.

The Ukrainian businessman was also convicted for using money from Igor Fruman - who previously pleaded guilty -- and a fake company to funnel hundreds of thousands in political contributions to GOP and pro-Donald Trump committees and then lying about it to the Federal Election Commission.

A $325,000 donation to the America First Action Super PAC at issue in the case was first flagged in a 2018 FEC complaint.

Parnas faces up to five years in prison for each of five counts and a sixth count for falsifying records to the FEC carries a 20-year maximum prison sentence.

Co-defendant Andrey Kukushkin was also found guilty on two counts connected to his role in facilitating the campaign donations paid for with his Russian boss's money.

Kukushkin's charges each carry a five-year maximum prison sentence.

Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure this was discussed somewhere on this forum at the time it was happening?

It’s possible. I follow politics pretty closely and had never heard of him. I’ll need to read up I guess.

I'll quote you anyway. Wink  There've been several mentions of Parnas in discussions of various sleaze and corruption over the last couple of years.

He seemed to be working via Giuliani's instructions, to help the Orange Buffoon.
I'm glad he has been convicted, and I hope it leads further to charging Giuliani and trump himself.

He is one of Rudy's goons, he was indicted 2 years ago. Rudy had his home raided a few months ago by the FBI, Rudy might be going to jail too.

 I believe he was in Trump's orbit before he was in Rudy's.
