Conspiracy of funds Maxim tapped for this offering. I find it hard to believe Maxim did not know these funds worked together:

Maxim Group parent company under fire for alleged sanctions busting, money laundering

Kazakhstan and New York-based Freedom Holdings denies charges from activist short-selling fund Hindenberg Research 

The new owner of New York-based investment bank the Maxim Group — which has been controversial for its deal-making practices in shipping — is now fending off explosive allegations over its own activities.

Kazakhstan and New York-based Freedom Holding Corp (FHC) — a $4.6bn online brokerage founded in Moscow — has been accused of money laundering and helping Russian oligarchs evade sanctions over the war in Ukraine.


Sort of goes with its sanctions over failing to report transactions which could be cover for money laundering. That said, FHC and Maxim cancelled this acquisition agreement so it looks like tradewinds article jumped the gun calling FHC its parent company. Maybe the deal was cancelled, in part, because of this accusation?

Freedom Holding Corp. cancelled the acquisition of Maxim Group LLC from MJR Holdings Inc. on October 31, 2023. Freedom Holding Corp., Maxim Partners LLC and MJR Holdings, Inc. determined that the conditions to closing set out in the Purchase Agreement will not be fulfilled by December 31, 2023, accordingly, the parties have mutually terminated the transaction.

Interesting. The url you refer to has a date of 9/23 and yet Sonny still has no issues continuing to deal with them? My only question about Sonny remains: is he a dupee or a duper? Either way for investors, it can't get any worse IF he ever leaves. Thanks for the confirmation regarding the caliber of Maxim.
