We Get Letters

Because of Donald Trump, it has become important for concerned Americans to  “Know your Russian Mobsters.”

Because, who knows, they may be in charge.

Protected in Moscow from being called to account, Pavel ‘Red Eye” Vrublevsky, Russia’s top hacker, was dripping with sarcasm when he got in touch  about the new video Know Your Russian Mobsters” posted to YouTube, the first in a series of profiles of gangsters from the former Soviet Union.  

“I gotta get paid for this!” he tweeted. “I’ve never even been to the U.S.!”

Our reporting shows different. 

Russian hacker Vrublevsky provided payment processing, and probably other services as well, for Tampa Mobster Mike Muzio’s Blue Moon Group, which ran dozens of porn websites, including VoyeurDorm.com.

State records (republished below) show that both Vrublevsky’s RE (for Red Eye) & Partners LLC and Muzio’s Blu Moon Group use the same address in Howard Beach Queens in 2003-2004.

Vrublevsky’s name first surfaced when the Russian election hacking scandal hit the news in September 2016. He became the first Russian hacker cited by named by the FBI, along with Russian Vladimir Fomenko, accused of committing a cyber attack on electoral systems in Arizona and Illinois.

The attacks were reportedly carried out from servers Fomenko rented from a Dutch company controlled by Vrublevsky.

Later, Vrublevsky found himself at the heart of the mysterious cyber-treason purge  roiling Moscow, where he reportedly fingered three top Russian cyber-security officials for being guilty of treason for being disloyal to the Kremlin. The men were arrested in dramatic fashion in last December; one was dragged out of a meeting with a bag over his head, and has not been seen since.

  1. Daniel, we discussed a little about Robert Mueller awhile back. So far, here are the things he’s been involved in:

    To start he married into intelligence. He married Ann Cabell Standish. Standish suggests old New England money. Cabell is her grandfather’s name. The CIA guy who was fired with Allen Dulles by JFK after the Bay of Pigs. Also, her grand uncle was a CIA asset and mayor of Dallas at the time of JFK’s assassination.

    Mueller joined the Marines and ended up being an aide-de-camp for a Marine general, William Jones, during the CIA’s Phoenix Program. Reading Doug Valentine it’s hard for me to imagine that an aide-de-camp didn’t know about the Phoenix Program and its illegalities.

    As a federal prosecutor he denied Patty Hearst’s bail. We know that Colston Westbrook, the guy who taught black pride to Donald DeFreeze aka Cinque, while he was in the Vacaville Prison for the Insane before he escaped from another prison and became the head of the SLA.

    You mentioned to me that Mueller was the prosecutor in the “drug tug” case, which had plenty of tentacles into other CIA operations.

    He prosecuted Pan Am 103 without noticing the group of US intelligence agents on the plane. Continuing his cleanup of loose ends regarding Iran-contra he handled Manny Noriega’s prosecution, again failing to notice CIA arms running, CIA drug smuggling and CIA money-laundering.

    Since he was named the head of the FBI a week before 9/11, he had the opportunity to ignore all of the CIA fingerprints on that case, to include those things you revealed in WELCOME TO TERRORLAND.

    So we know what Mueller won’t find (the CIA) in his investigation of Trump.

    I’m trying to imagine what case he hasn’t been involved in. Poisoning John Paul I? BCCI? Tom Brady deflating footballs?
