Appendix C: World’s Greatest Treasure Hunt
There are two major lost treasures in the world today: the Golden Lily treasure and the
lost Soviet Treasury. The recently announced and forthcoming Khordokorvsky moneylaundering
trial is the tip of the iceberg of the hunt for the Soviet Treasury, and a lot of
people are being murdered in the quiet hope that this investigation and trial passes
without any public revelation as to where that treasure resides. Originally having an
estimated value between $200 billion and $500 billion in 1991, this treasure would be
worth well over a trillion dollars today.[1] The core of this trial will be an investigation
into the financial dealings of Khordokorvsky and his dealings going as far back as 1989,
when he - sponsored by Aleksey Kondaurov and Phillip Bobkov of the KGB[2] – began
his alleged theft of the Soviet Treasury with the help of a small financial consulting firm
known as Riggs-Valmet[3], who helped craft his financial strategy and tactics (as well as
those of oligarch Roman Abramovich.) Thus began an operation that became and remains
one of the most closely guarded secrets of both the KGB/FSB and the CIA, with neither
willing to admit involvement or “knowledge.” To maintain that secret, those with
knowledge of the whereabouts of the funds or the nature of the transactions have
committed suicide, or have been poisoned, or shot, died in a helicopter crash, or simply
threatened into silence. Even more intriguing, this money laundering may well be at the
core of one of the world’s most infamous cover-ups.
The trial is viewed quite differently by the various stakeholders. From the official US
point of view, the trial represents an authoritarian leader’s attempt to turn back the clock
and eliminate the democratic reforms realized in Russia since the collapse of the Soviet
Union in September 1991. From the Russian citizen’s point of view, the trial is an
attempt to find justice for deliberate actions that were directly responsible for causing the
deaths, wiping out life savings, jobs, pensions and destroying the lives of millions of
Russians.[4] From the official Russian point of view, it is an attempt to bring back under
control of the Russian bureaucracy, billions of dollars of industrial assets that were stolen
by Western investors. There is a fourth group of stakeholders – the men behind these
crimes. They consist of a group of financiers and government agents who are responsible
for inestimable pain and suffering in Russia, and destroyed the only real chance that
Russia and the US ever had to create a lasting peace. For this group of stakeholders,
murder is their safeguard.
At least six individuals who represented a threat to expose information about the thefts
have met violent or suspicious deaths:
Alexander Litvenenko was poisoned in the ultimate media murder, with a dose of
radioactive poison worth $24 to 35 million dollars. Litvenenko, whose original
assignment with the FSB was to investigate corruption, was in regular contact with the
oligarchs that had been party to those transactions now being questioned, and had passed
documents to Leonid Nevzlin just shortly before he was murdered. [5]
