A Mystery - Deep Capture, Osama bin Laden and the Russian Mafiya

[David Guyatt]

I read it more as an attempt by Them to exploit American fears after 9/11, and quite possibly sow the seeds for 9/11 Mk2. After all, with Millipede Minor saying the phrase "War on Terror" is no longer part of the British government's vocabulary, They need something to persuade the shirkers to get back On Message.

Perhaps you're right Jan, I'm not sure. But I do note that this incident happened two years ago in November 2006.

Additionally however, Mark Mitchell writes in "Deep Capture - The Story" concerning one of the key players, Michael Steinhardt, who's father Sol "Red" Reinhardt:

worked for the Genovese organized crime family, with goons like Meyer Lansky and Vinnie “Blue Eyes” Alo, before he was sentenced to a number of years in Sing-Sing prison.

And then goes on to add:

By Steinhardt Jr.’s own account, the principal partners in his first hedge fund were the Genovese Mafia, Ivan Boesky, Marty Peretz (the aristocrat who funded Cramer), and a man named Marc Rich. Rich is
closely connected to Ronald Greenwald, described in the authoritative book "Red Mafiya" as the man who, along with the Genovese family, brought the Russian Mob to America.

And also:

A few weeks later, Elgindy appears in court for sentencing. It is noticed that he is missing one finger. He is asked about it, and claims it happened in a beach barbequing accident. The prosecutor points out that
he has been under house arrest. Elgindy changes his story, maintaining that it was a home accident. However, sources familiar with the investigation inform Deep Capture that they believe Russian mobsters did it as a warning not to talk while he was in prison. One even maintains, “The Russians went to his house and forced Elgindy to saw off his own finger, to help him better remember the experience. They also told him that if he talked they would skin [a member of Elgindy's family] alive.”

This, of course, is the Elgindy who is discussed in the thread "911 and those forgotten short sales" ([URL="http://www.deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=618"]http://www.deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/showthread.php?
t=618[/URL]) who told his broker to liquidate his kids trust fund the day before 911, adding that "Tomorrow the Dow is going to drop 3000 points".[/quote]

This is not to say that the Russian Mafiya are running things, but rather that they are probably in a partnership on these things with the American Mafia and others.

While Marc Rich and his Russian connections are too well known to require further airing here, Ronald Greenwald is a new name to me - and he seems to be a mighty interesting character judging by his Wiki entry (which I suspect is far from fulsome?):
