[Jacque67 7,328]

People are saying he had this as his dial tone for the phone he obtained under a fake name for overseas trips...

That curiosity caused a couple of security researchers to dig in and discover that Paul Manafort appeared to be fond of the James-Bond-inspired password "bond007".

 

 

Their interest was piqued in February, after Manafort confirmed to Politico that hackers broke into Manafort's daughter's iPhone. As Business Insider previously reported, hackers then published roughly 300,000 of what they said were her text messages —  about four years' worth — to the "dark web." The dark web is a secret version of the internet often used for criminal activity accessible only via a special browser.

Those messages apparently contained Manafort's former email address, uncovered by a security researcher who goes by the online name Krypt3ia. Another researcher discovered that accounts that used this same email address were compromised in two big security hacks: the 2013 Adobe hack, and the 2012 Dropbox hack.

The password hints for the Adobe account were things like "secret agent" and "James Bond." Those hints basically allowed the researchers to correctly guess that the password itself was "bond007." The same Bond-inspired password worked for both the Adobe and Dropbox accounts.

AMS: It’s just weird. Like [my dad] doesn’t seem that smart. Like he is smart. But I know I’m smarter than him.

Friend: I don’t doubt that, he’s a master manipulator. Which seems pretty key.

AMS: He is very manipulative. I did inherit that ability. But I don’t exploit it like he does. I know all his tactics. They aren’t that brilliant but they do work.

Friend: But yes you’re right, you have a moral conscious [sic].

AMS: Like he just tells you the sky is green over and over. And eventually you are like is it? I don’t possess the ability to just lie like he does.

Friend: Yea he works his charm.

AMS: It’s confidence. When you say something unwaveringly, people start to believe it.

Friend: I mean yea that got Trump where he is today.

AMS: Yup. Perfect allies. Trump probably has more morals than my dad. Which is really just saying something about my dad. My dad is a psycho!!! At least trump let his wives leave him. Plus, Trump has been a good father.

AMS: Trump waited a little too long in my opinion, but I can attest to the fact that he has now hired one of the world’s greatest manipulators. I hope my dad pulls it off. Then I can sell my memoir with all his dirty secrets for a pretty penny.

[Later, Manafort Shand talks to another friend about her feelings regarding the campaign.]

AMS: He was brought on to be convention manager, but really it was always to run . And now that’s being publicly known. Or acknowledged I guess.

[Later]

JM: Dad and Trump are literally living in the same building and mom says they go up and down all day long hanging and plotting together

April 12: Manafort Shand offers campaign-related favors from her father to a friend. 

AMS: By the way, if you want to exploit my dad to better your career, please let me know.

Friend: Are you serious?

AMS: Completely.

How will Trump's administration impact you?

Friend: I wouldn’t be opposed to exploiting him.

AMS: I am on a business email basis with my dad.

The Ukraine payments were from " Party of the Regions".  I have not seen Manafort advocate an EU connection.

 

 

Manafort earned $600,000 a month from pro-Russia party: Ukrainian report

 

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2017/10/31/manafort-pro-russia-party-report/816242001/

 

An internal investigation in Ukraine concluded that Manafort earned larger sums than he previously reported as a political consultant in the Eastern European country.

Manafort was paid at least $28.5 million, far more than the $12.5 million reported last year, from “black money” funds run by the Party of the Regions, according to a source with knowledge about the investigation. The Party of the Regions served as the pro-Kremlin political base for Ukraine's former President Viktor Yanukovych, who fled to Russia in 2014.

 

You are correct, Manafort, Gates, and Podesta were working for pro-Russian Ukrainian political entities.

We don't know much about the Tony Podesta case yet.

We do know that the Podesta Group was also working for the European Center for a Mondern Ukraine.  It has also been reported that the Podesta Group only updated its FARA requirements after the news came out that it was working in the Ukraine as well.  And of course we know that Tony Podesta stepped down from his company almost at the same as Manafort was being indicted.  It makes one wonder if Mueller and his wide open investigation is looking at all sides.

How sweet! RUS MFA's message is in line with the WH's message. 

 

Bros gotta stick together! 

 

Wonder why he's so interested in Manafort?

The NYTimes article only mentions his children in passing?  So how does this morph into his children coming under fire?  If that is the case, we should be investigating Chelsea and her out-of-work husband as well.

[Jacque67 7,328]

Hmm... Cool story.

[Jacque67 7,328]

check the thread title . This is about Manafort and Mueller. Start a thread about Chelsea's husband.

 

meanwhile looking at the mueller vs fastow case looks like Manafort's wife will cooperate . He has already angered her and one of his daughters with his Ukrainian (former ?) mistress . Hard to keep up with this wannabe Bond.

You are the one that brought family (Manafort's children) into the discussion, I don't see his children mentioned in the title of this thread.
