Wikipedia Post Copied

Seeing that the lawyer accused of killing the son and critically injuring the husband of the federal judge assigned to the Deutsch Bank case, where investors are suing about Jeffrey Epstein, I note that the accused is a lawyer named Roy Den Hollander, who had a case about the all-male draft in front of the judge. He is conveniently now suicided, but I note that he worked for Kroll Associates in the 90s, so I went to Wikipedia and will copy some info here, before it is scrubbed.

Kroll is a corporate investigations and risk consulting firm based in New York City.[3] It was established in 1972.
History

Kroll was founded in 1972 by Jules Kroll as a consultant to corporate purchasing departments.[4] The company focused on helping clients improve operations by uncovering kickbacks, fraud or other forms of corruption.[citation needed]

Kroll began its line of investigative work in the financial sector in the 1980s, when corporations in New York City approached Kroll to profile investors, suitors and takeover targets, with special attention to any perceived connections to disreputable organizations, suspicious business practices, personality and integrity issues, or any kind of corporate malfeasance. In the 1990s, Kroll expanded into forensic accounting, background screening, drug testing, electronic data recovery and market intelligence.[citation needed]

In June 1993, A.I.G. "became one of the largest investors in Kroll, after it retained a minority interest in the firm."[5]

In 1997, with annual revenues of approximately $60 million, Kroll merged with vehicle armoring company O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt. The new entity, The Kroll-O'Gara Company, became a public company listed on NASDAQ as "KROG."[citation needed]

In December 1998, Kroll acquired Schiff & Associates, Inc., a small security engineering and consulting firm based in Bastrop, Texas just outside Austin. The name was changed to Kroll Schiff & Associates then Kroll Security Services Group and finally to Kroll Security Group.[citation needed]

In February 2001, Kroll expanded its working relationship with the insurance company, A.I.G., offering through their Private Client group personal security services to high-net-worth individuals and their families. "Under its working arrangement with AIG, Kroll is called in to supervise crisis management when an incident occurs. In its expanded role the company will now provide those services to private individual holders of AIG policies, providing global protection, for which there is an ever increasing need."[6]

In August 2001, the O’Gara vehicle armoring businesses were sold to Armor Holdings. The company name was changed to Kroll Inc. and its ticker symbol became "KROL." Kroll ended the year with more than $200 million in annual revenues.[citation needed]

In 2002, Kroll acquired Kelly McCann's firm Crucible. In September 2008, Crucible was acquired by its management and now operates privately.[citation needed] Earlier in 2002, "Kroll’s US corporate advisory subsidiary was given the monumental challenge of restructuring Enron."[7]

In July 2004, Kroll was acquired by professional services firm Marsh & McLennan Companies in a $1.9 billion transaction.[8] Over the next few years, Kroll began selling off subsidiaries in order to focus on its core business lines.[citation needed]

In June 2008, Jules Kroll left Kroll, Inc. He tried to buy Kroll Inc. back from MMC. When that bid failed, he launched in 2010 Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) and K2 Global Consulting with his son Jeremy.[9] Jules and Jeremy Kroll created K2 Intelligence in 2009.[10]

In August 2010, Kroll was acquired by Altegrity, Inc. in an all-cash transaction valued at $1.13 billion. Altegrity's family of companies also included USIS and Explore. It is principally owned by Providence Equity Partners.[11] Altegrity declared bankruptcy in 2015.[citation needed]

Kroll was bought by Corporate Risk Holdings, LLC,[12] which is also the parent company of two separately managed information service businesses: HireRight and Kroll Ontrack.[citation needed]

On October 21, 2016, Carlyle Group-owned LDiscovery acquired Kroll Ontrack in an all cash transaction valued at roughly $410 million,[13] from which time Kroll Ontrack operated as a separate company.[citation needed] In 2018, Kroll Inc. acquired the controversial cybersecurity firm Tiversa.

On March 13, 2018, it was reported that Duff & Phelps Corp. would buy Kroll, Inc.[14] On June 4, 2018, the transaction was completed.[1]

Historical cases
The Heroin Trail case

In 1987, in the prominent First Amendment case over The Heroin Trail stories in New York Newsday, attorney Floyd Abrams enlisted Kroll's help to find an eyewitness: "But was it conceivable that we could come up with an eyewitness who could be of help? I called Jules Kroll, the CEO of Kroll Associates, the nation's most acclaimed investigative firm, to ask him if he could inquire, through the extensive range of former law enforcement officials employed by him, whether Karaduman was known to be a drug trafficker in Istanbul."[19] Kroll came through: two weeks into the trial the firm produced Faraculah Arras, who was prepared to testify he was involved in one of Karaduman's drug deals. "I was stunned," recalled Abrams.

Abrams used Kroll again in 1998 to investigate claims by CNN's Newsstand documentary that sarin nerve gas had been used in Vietnam in 1970 as part of Operation Tailwind.[20]
The John Fredriksen oil theft case

Kroll assisted in the trial of Norwegian shipping tycoon, John Fredriksen, at the end of the 1980s.
WTC and Sears Tower security

Kroll were responsible for revamping security at the World Trade Center after the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.[21][22] They also took on responsibility for security at Chicago's Sears Tower following the September 11, 2001 attacks.[23] Just prior to the September 11 attacks, Kroll Inc., with the guidance of Jerome Hauer, at the time the Managing director of their Crisis and Consulting Management Group,[12] hired former FBI special investigator John P. O'Neill,[24] who specialized in the Al-Qaeda network held responsible for the 1993 bombing, to head the security at the WTC complex. O'Neill died in the attacks.
Capital outflows from the Soviet Union and Russia

In March 1992, the Yeltsin government contracted Kroll Associates to track down and find very large sums of money that had been removed from the Soviet Union prior to the August 1991 putsch on the Russian White House.[25][26] In 1992, First Deputy Prime Minister Yegor Timurovich Gaidar said, "Last year saw large-scale privatization by the nomenklatura, privatization by officials for their own personal benefit."[27] Gaidar called the Communists and KGB officials criminals and that a "a vigorous search" for the money trails from state-owned capital had flowed abroad virtually unchecked before the collapse of the Soviet Union in the summer of 1991.[26] On March 15, 1992, the Russian government froze all capital outflows from Russia.[26] In April 1992, Kroll Associates began their investigations with Joseph Serio heading the Kroll Associates efforts in Moscow.[28][a] Also, Joseph Rosetti, the vice chairman of Kroll Associates, was in Moscow to assist.[26] The Kroll Associates determined that more than $14 billion in 1991 real dollars had been transferred from Switzerland to New York prior to the August 1991 putsch.[27] Also, the Communist Party of the former Soviet Union along with other government agencies, such as the KGB, had transferred more than $40 billion in 2014 real dollars out of the country.[30][b] The assets of the Vneshekonombank were frozen during the investigation.[27] However, numerous transactions occurred to bypass the capital flow restrictions often with the British Barclays Bank in Cyprus acting a money laundering center for public officials from Saint Petersburg and Moscow.[27][c] According to Valery Makharadze, the government's chief inspector, many joint stock companies were formed to provide an illegal means for capital outflows from Russia, such as the Leningrad Association of Joint Ventures[d] and KOLO.[32][27][e] Numerous officials became wealthy Russian oligarchs including numerous former KGB officials, prominent Communists such as Oleg Belyakov and other former Communists who headed the party Central Committee department that dealt with the defense industry, as well as Leonid Kravchenko, who was the former head of the state television and radio company.[27] Jules Kroll, the head of the Kroll Associates, uncovered hundreds of illicit transactions with massive capital outflows.[33] This outflow of capital from the Soviet Union and Russia directly contributed to severe economic conditions in Russia during Boris Yeltsin's second term, leading to its collapse, and resulting in the age of Vladimir Putin as the President of Russia.[25]
Identity protection
Kroll entered into a joint marketing agreement with legal service plan provider LegalShield (formerly Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc.) in 2003, to distribute an identity theft product to consumers, called the Identity Theft Shield, the first time Kroll offered a service to individuals.[34] As of June 30, 2006, Kroll had over 560,000 customers, according to LegalShield's quarterly report.[35] In addition to the LegalShield subscribers, Kroll's Identity Theft Shield serves about 500,000 other consumers.

The Destruction Of Society Underway

"Slowly at first, and then all at once" Ernest Hemingway, on his bankruptcy

What if there is no plan?
When they burn down rainforests, do the creatures living there wonder why? We see the protest of the orangutan, but it is fruitless. The plan is to plant palm oil and the forest must go.
But what about when they blow up mountains to get the coal or the gold? There is no further plan. When they vacuum the ocean floor to get the fish, and destroy the coral reefs and other nurseries, there is no further plan. When they use up the topsoil and the water to grow wheat on the Great Plains, there is no further plan.
When they moved the factories out of Middle America, starting in the 80s, there was no further plan. Now called the Rust Belt, for the rusting remnants, whole cities have crumbled, storefronts boarded up, houses abandoned, downtowns empty except for the homeless, the pawn shops and the tattoo parlors.
It has been 40 years, and Flyover Country, as the residents of the coasts call us, is sparsely populated now, comparatively.
What is the plan now? The country was locked down for Shock Therapy, but for what? We speculate wildly. Some sort of Matrix society or Mad Max, or just destruction and abandonment, like an ocean floor or a fracked site.
Bars and restaurants are closed. Organized sports shut down. Department stores shuttered. Hospitals and schools closed. Police departments to be disbanded.
And now they are shutting down cash. Stores shuttered, but no yard sales or roadside produce stands possible. Evictions and foreclosures, but no panhandling for spare change. Wage labor impossible, but also odd jobs under the table.
Like orangutans fighting the bulldozers, we see the destruction of our society, but we are powerless to stop it.
And like the orangutans, we are collateral damage. We are of no interest to the Destroyers. There is no difference to them if we live or die. Their interest is in what they can strip from our environment, not whether we survive the destruction. Like thieves stripping a car for parts, they are not interested in the future function, only what they can get for the parts.
There seems to be no plan for our future survival.

The War On Cash- Copied From The Internet

The war against cash is ramping up. The ''cash will kill you'' propaganda has been ongoing the last 4 months, and now they are telling us that they are out of coins.
They want to put us all on digital money, controlled by the banks. Who would want that?
''HERES WHAT NO CASH ACTUALLY MEANS:
A cashless society means no cash. Zero. It doesn’t mean mostly cashless and you can still use a ‘wee bit of cash here & there’. Cashless means fully digital, fully traceable, fully controlled. I think those who support a cashless society aren’t fully aware of what they are asking for. A cashless society means:
* If you are struggling with your mortgage on a particular month, you can’t do an odd job to get you through.
* Your child can’t go & help the local farmer to earn a bit of summer cash.
* No more cash slipped into the hands of a child as a good luck charm or from their grandparent when going on holidays.
* No more money in birthday cards.
* No more piggy banks for your child to collect pocket money & to learn about the value of earning.
* No more cash for a rainy day fund or for that something special you have been putting $20 a week away for.
* No more little jobs on the side because your wages barely cover the bills or put food on the table.
* No more charity collections.
* No more selling bits & pieces from your home that you no longer want/need for a bit of cash in return.
* No more cash gifts from relatives or loved ones.
What a cashless society does guarantee:
* Banks have full control of every single penny you own.
* Every transaction you make is recorded.
* All your movements & actions are traceable.
* Access to your money can be blocked at the click of a button when/if banks need ‘clarification’ from you which will take about 3 weeks, a thousand questions answered & five thousand passwords.
* You will have no choice but to declare & be taxed on every dollar in your possession.
* The government WILL decide what you can & cannot purchase.
* If your transactions are deemed in any way questionable, by those who create the questions, your money will be frozen, ‘for your own good’.
Forget about cash being dirty. Stop being so easily led. Cash has been around for a very, very, very long time & it gives you control over how you trade with the world. It gives you independence.
I heard a story where a man supposedly contracted Covid because of a $20 bill he had handled. There is the same chance of Covid being on a card as being on cash. If you cannot see how utterly ridiculous this assumption is then there is little hope.
If you are a customer, pay with cash. If you are a shop owner, remove those ridiculous signs that ask people to pay by card. Cash is a legal tender, it is our right to pay with cash. Banks are making it increasingly difficult to lodge cash & that has nothing to do with a virus, nor has this ‘dirty money’ trend.
Please open your eyes. Please stop believing everything you are being told. Almost every single topic in today’s world is tainted with corruption & hidden agendas. Please stop telling me & others like me that we are what’s wrong with the world when you hail the most corrupt members of society as your heroes. Politics & greed is what is wrong with the world; not those who are trying to alert you to the reality in which you are blindly floating along whilst being immobilized by irrational fear. Fear created to keep you doing & believing in exactly what you are complacently doing.
Pay with cash & please say no to a cashless society while you still have the choice.
-Rob Robson
