^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this Tokenist article really NAILS down the situ Explains the close relationship between the two UBS subsidiaries from NYC & Beijing. Compare what it reveals with the following hit piece put out by USA Today in Feb 2021 - whose author completely IGNORES these ties: USA TODAY Fact Check: "China invested $400 million in Dominion Voting Systems" They say this is false, but there are problems. A Dec. 7 Facebook post states Dominion Voting Systems.....has ties to China, based on a recent financial transaction. [the Oct 8th transaction - see CAP here: >>/10510/] There is documentation of a recent exchange of securities with Dominion Voting, but by an American company with an almost identical name to a Chinese company. There was no foreign investment. [UBS-Sec NYC - which has CLOSE TIES to UBS-Sec Beijing!!] On Dec. 1, Infowars, a far-right-wing news and opinion website, posted an article about an investigation — it does not state by whom — that revealed Dominion Voting received $400 million "from a Swiss bank with close ties to the Chinese government" in October. [It is TRUE that UBS AG has close ties to the Chinese gov't, not false.] The claim was picked up by Georgia-based attorney and Trump supporter Lin Wood, who tweeted a link to a Form D notice [TRUE - writes goes on to gratuitously associate Lin W with Qanon conspiracy, KEK]. A Form D, or a notice of exempt offering of securities is filed within 15 days after the first sale of securities, which are tradable financial assets. [TRUE? I don't know.] CONCLUSION: A claim stating China invested $400 million in Dominion Voting Systems is FALSE, based on our research. The source of the claim, which is unclear, confused New York-based UBS Securities Co. LLC with Beijing-based UBS Securities Co. Ltd. Further, the U.S.-based bank brokered an exchange of securities between institutional investors and private equity firm Staple Street Capital III L.P., but it did not invest in the company. [SO...who are these investors, anyway? Just guys off the street? Seems unlikely.] www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/01/23/fact-check-dominion-voting-systems-foreign-investment-claim-false/4038654001/ This conclusion is UNWARRANTED. Ignores key facts__ a. Historically, the two UBS subsidiaries are not just connected, but intertwined. SEE "WHO OWNS DOMINION?" CHART - BELOW b. After the election, UBS-Sec NYC got rid of all the people with Chinese connections AFTER THE ELECTION. WHY??? c. The two subsidiaries are functionally similar & have the same parent company: UBS AG. d. UBS AG is very friendly with China. SEE BELOW. e. Unasked question: Why did Staple Street use a broker with obvious Chinese ties to do this transaction?
