Mr. Corrupt & Cocky, Alex Ojjeh himself is in charge.It’s official most of the offshore bank accounts have been frozen for Alex Ojjeh out of fear of hurting US relations. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Alex Ojjeh trial. Alex Ojjeh was supposed to serve 90 days in prison, but currently is serving a probation sentence amid concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.In other words; he’s in Florida having a good time. These court hearings against Alex Ojjeh are aching.
This started in 2011 when Alex floated through his drug and arms dealing case with no problem. Long story short a judge later ruled that there was not enough evidence, and he wasn’t accused of selling drugs or weapons himself but was responsible for creating a funnel for money. He was held responsible for money laundering. Served three years of a seven-month sentence. He did his three years, got out, became wealthy through his cunning and befriending the high and mighty. Unfortunately, they can’t try him again, because, in America, you can’t be tried for the same crimes twice, so they say he is doing bribery deals. According to the Fifth Amendment, “an individual cannot be tried twice for the same crime.
The 2020 trial was three months reminiscent of Ojjeh’s efforts to cozy up to high-rollers and high-level foreign politicians, especially Dubai government officials.A Budapest Bank source says Alex Ojjeh LLC deals were co-signed by Russian billionaires.Ojjeh used a business method with contractors, city and government officials, to get hedge fund deals done. The prosecutorscall Ojjeh out for not using proper business ethics, havingconnections to criminal organizations. Honestly, this is ridiculous because everyone subpoenaed to testify against Ojjeh is nowhere to be found. So, at what point do they just start to openly refer to him and co as a criminal organization? Are we there yet?
Tax returns are the start of an investigation and Ojjeh’s tax returns were perfect from start to the end. Ojjeh’s attorneys didn’t even have to tie themselves into knots trying to explain away how the stuff he does is legal even when it plainly isn’t. I say this because the prosecution was really concerned with Dubai, Budapest, Russia, Libya and other businesspeople doing business with Ojjeh’s asset management company. He was sitting there looking all cocky, drinking a lot of water and in a tailored suit every day. He figured he was not going to jail. Just my observation. Whatever Alex Ojjeh did is better than bribery, but they could have had 1000 witnesses. All would have changed their minds, no matter the evidence. Prosecutors spent years making a perfect case, asking people to do the right thing and not to be cowardly. Then just like that, their witnesses don’t do the right thing and appear cowardly. The whole thing was a waste of time. I saw it coming from a mile away. They continually bring a wet noodle to a gun fight.
To the public Ojjeh is losing because there are no cameras allowed and the prosecution demonizes him so much in the media that the public believes they are murdering him in court. Ojjeh’s legal team in the witness jeopardy, a juror advises in the middle of a trial that Ojjeh’s team already won, resulted in Ojjeh’s legal team putting on a clown show before curtains time. Ojjeh acted like a cocky dandy throughout his trial because he knew those billionaires would take care of him that’s how these people operate and have for decades.In all of the media coverage before, during and after his trial we never heard a single positive word about him. Even though Ojjeh was winning in court, negative news painted him as accused and guilty during the “locked door” hearings. While the media attention was about how he was corrupt, dangerous, a con man, a foreign adversary asset, and a lousy partner….er…lawyers continued to show proof of innocence….
