Kennedy Enterprise, which manages the money of the family of former president John F. Kennedy.<\/p>\n<p>In May 2016, Archer and Galanis were charged with fraud involving a Native American tribe \u2014 along with Galanis\u2019 father.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1980s, Galanis\u2019 father was sentenced to 27 years in prison in a case involving tax fraud, in which he was prosecuted by Rudy Giuliani. In 2001, he disappeared while on work release. Jason Galanis\u2019 brother Derek is also in prison, and says he is listed as an associate of the Gambini crime family. He wrote a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B079XT41P9\/\">book<\/a> called \u201cGreed and Fear: The Galanis Crime Family,\u201d in which he details his father\u2019s crimes as the \u201clevels of manipulation and the evil machinations that fill the mind of this sociopath afflicted with megalomania.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Access to foreign countries often came through the relatives of politicians there.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter sought Mexican riches through Miguel Alaman Magnani, the billionaire son of a former Mexican governor and grandson of a former Mexican president. In February 2016, he lamented that no business deal had solidified despite showering him with White House access, writing:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"8\">\n<p><em>I\u2019m attending meeting w\/ President N w\/ Dad\u2026 We have so many great things to do together and I want you at the plane when the the VP lands with your Mom and Dad\u2026 We have been talking about business deals and partnerships for 7 years. And I really appreciate you letting me stay at your resort villa\u2026but I have brought every single person you have ever asked me to bring to the F\u2019ing WHite House and the Vice President\u2019s house and the inauguration and then you go completely silent.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Alaman Magnani was also an investor in Hunter\u2019s firm Rosemont, according to the emails.<\/p>\n<p>Archer was \u201con the board of the KZ [Kazakhstan] National Investment Fund and very close w\/ PM of KZ and his son Iskander,\u201d Hunter wrote to a friend seeking investment for a real estate venture in Los Angeles. Hunter also said the \u201cPMs son is a very good friend\u201d of his own.<\/p>\n<p>In another email, Archer told Hunter they would be having dinner at the home of Timur Kulibayev, the son-in-law of a former president of Kazakhstan, saying \u201cSupposedly worth 5-10X what Forbes has him at which is $2.1b. On the Board of [Russian oil company] Gazprom. Major player.\u201d He sent a link to his Wikipedia page.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSee ref to money laundering,\u201d Hunter said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn accusation from what I\u2019ve read,\u201d Archer replied.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/enewspaper.latimes.com\/infinity\/article_share.aspx?guid=93fbac66-dbb0-4342-98ec-7ba13ffb8472\">Financial Times<\/a> later reported on a \u201csecret scheme\u201d that \u201cappears to allow Kulibayev to receive a share of the profits from pipeline contracts granted to ETK, a company owned by Russian businessman Alexander Karmanov.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><i>Want more exclusive Daily Wire investigations?\u00a0<\/i><em><a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/subscribe#plans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Become a member<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In June 2014, Archer sent Hunter an email that he proposed sending in Hunter\u2019s name with the subject \u201cMohammad draft (aka Emirs bro).\u201d\u00a0Mohammed bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani is the son of Qatar\u2019s former ruler and brother of its current ruler.<\/p>\n<p>We \u201cwant to form a long term partnership with Qatar and will do what we can to make sure there is room for\u201d the Qatar Investment Authority, it said, signing off: \u201cVery Best, Hunter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s inroads in the country of Mali also came from the family of a top leader.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to connect you by email to John Nevergole who works with us on a number of projects and is partners with the son-in-law of Mali\u2019s former President. Per our conversation yesterday, John can help you figure out some connections to Africom and also talk to you about how to proceed on Mali,\u201d Eric Schwerin, one of Hunter\u2019s partners in a venture called Rosemont Seneca, wrote to an associate in July 2012.<\/p>\n<p>The prior year, Schwerin wrote to Hunter that Archer had a meeting with Mali\u2019s president.<\/p>\n<p>Nevergole also informed Hunter and Archer that he had arranged a meeting with the president of Guinea through \u201cAlpha (the President\u2019s son).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Signed books from Joe Biden helped play up Hunter\u2019s clout abroad.<\/p>\n<p>In 2011, Archer asked Hunter for \u201c3 Biden books\u201d to leave with Zong Qinghou, a Chinese billionaire, with whom \u201cwe\u2019re going to do a follow-on real estate pitch or just general \u2018we can be your agent in the US\u2019 convo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course,\u201d Hunter replied. A colleague noted that \u201cthere weren\u2019t any books in the office that I could see except for two unsigned hardbacks that Arlene gave us to get signed \u2013 which we need to do,\u201d and Hunter added, \u201cThere are whole stack o them in my bookcase by desk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apparently referring to an Indian businessman Hunter\u2019s firm was courting for an investment, another of Hunter\u2019s colleagues, Rob Walker, wrote, \u201cAre you going to see your dad before tuesday afternoon?\u00a0 Ravi sent me two books to get signed about 6 months ago and I haven\u2019t done a thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the American side, a partner in their Chinese dealings was James Bulger, the nephew of Whitey Bulger, the notorious Boston mobster who was arrested in 2011 after 16 years on the lam.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter\u2019s secretary was Anne Marie Person, who appears to be the younger sister of Fran Person, Joe Biden\u2019s longtime body man. In 2015, after Fran left the White House, he entered the world of international deals, having what Hunter called \u201ca very real China deal he is working on\u201d to bring Sea World to China.<\/p>\n<p>Fran wrote that he just \u201cfinished a meeting with former Ambassador to China, Gary Locke, who is on the board of Harves Investment Group,\u201d the U.S. arm of a Chinese real estate company tied to the China Development Bank.<\/p>\n<p>The network of relatives of the powerful extended to the corporate world, too.<\/p>\n<p>Lea Carpenter, a descendent of the du Pont dynasty that amounts to royalty in Delaware, contacted Hunter to get an email address for Heinz, the stepson of John Kerry. Hunter, in turn, said he\u2019d \u201clike to reconnect with Louis Freeh\u2019s son,\u201d referring to the son of the former FBI director. Carpenter provided his email.<\/p>\n<p>When Archer asked if Hunter knew a political consultant pitching an international deal, who he described as an \u201cinteresting character to say the least,\u201d Hunter said he knew him through \u201cthe Waste Management co founder\u2019s son.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hunter also wrote that the son of Jim Kimsey, an AOL co-founder, \u201ctried to set up a meeting with him for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most on-point email in Hunter\u2019s inbox came not from a business associate, but in an advertisement for a line of preppy clothing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBring your dad to work day,\u201d the subject line said, adding in the body: \u201cWe immediately regretted that decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Part 1:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/hunter-biden-discussed-plans-for-a-business-that-would-include-joe-biden-emails-show\">Hunter Biden Discussed Plans For A Business That Would Include Joe Biden, Emails Show<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Part 2:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/hunter-biden-had-tentacles-in-dark-corners-of-the-world-far-beyond-china-ukraine\">Hunter\u2019s World: Biden Son Had Tentacles In Dark Corners Of the World Far Beyond China, Ukraine<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
