Firstly she isn't really an Oligarch She was the wife of the Moscow mayor who has made Billions in real estate, and was listed as a fugitive by the Moscow courts. https://www.rferl.org/a/russian-court-d ... 48065.html
But whether she was an Oligarch or not isn't the point.
As I do, when someone waved the NYP article at me as proof of H bdens corruption I looked at the NY Post article... and it says she paid the money to a company H Biden FOUNDED, but does not say he is still associated with it. I call this burying the bullshit.

The persons response was to send me another article, this time from the daily fail. I responded by saying that confirmed She paid zero dollars and zero cents to Hunter Biden. When he said He didn't see where it says that (meaning he didnt read the article and expected me to be intimidated by the headline,) I copy and pasted this part which is buried in the middle of the tect and all the pictures.Well, just for starters, Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina, who paid $3.5 million into a bank account ASSOCIATED WITH Hunter and his business partner Devon Archer, was not sanctioned along with other oligarchs allied with President Vladimir Putin this month."
"Baturina wired $3.5 million on Feb. 14, 2014, to Rosemont Seneca Thornton, a consortium formed between Rosemont Seneca — the firm co-founded by Hunter, Archer and Chris Heinz — and the Thornton Group.
Baturina’s wires were flagged in “suspicious activity reports” provided by the Treasury Department to a Senate Republican inquiry by the Finance and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committees.
Hunter’s lawyer has denied Hunter profited from the transaction, telling CNN: “The claim that he was paid $3.5 million is false.

Hunter Biden was paid $3.5 million by Russian oligarch - when Joe was VP - to open doors for her construction business in America, her brother claims <-- Headline
That "it is unclear" sentence is Daily Fail speak for "Hunter Biden wasn't associated at all with that company but we are not going to say that as it makes our entire bullshit story a complete fucking lie." And, like I said, this is buried in the middle of a LOT of text. I have learned to speed read over the years and this has helped me a lot.Still, the findings did not show that Hunter's dealings ever influenced Joe Biden or impacted the White House's policy.
The GOP report also states that between May 6, 2015 and December 8, 2015, Baturina sent 11 wires in the amount of $391,968.21 to a bank account belonging to BAK USA LLC, a technology startup based in Buffalo, New York. The transactions all listed 'Loan Agreement' in the payment details section.
Nine of the 11 transactions, totaling $241,797.14 were first sent from Baturina's accounts to a Rosemont Seneca Thornton bank account, which then transferred to the money to BAK USA, according to the report.
BAK USA, which proposed to manufacture computer tablets in partnership with unnamed Chinese partners, was repeatedly touted by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo as a success story in his tax-break scheme to lure startups.
The company filed for bankruptcy liquidation in 2019 with $39.4 million in debts and just $147,000 in assets. It's unclear what connection Hunter Biden or his firm had to the now-defunct company.
So, ya, in 2014 a company Hunter Biden founded with a bunch of other people (but it is not mentioned whether he was still working with nudge nudge wink wink) took money and forwarded it to another company Biden had nothing to do with. In 2016 she bought into the American land market. 2022 she was not sanctioned, assuming that is also true. This does not equal "Oligarch pays Hunter Biden 3.5 million dollars and gets favours."
