Hunter Biden's CEO in a China venture drops multiple bombshells
By Andrea Widburg
An email recovered from Hunter Biden's
hard drive had people asking who "the big guy" is. That's
the cryptic identifier given to someone on whose behalf Hunter Biden would hold
10% of the equity in a deal with China's largest private energy
company. Thanks to Tony Bobulinksi, who was part of that deal, we've
learned that "the big guy" is Joe Biden. And while the
"big guy" email dates from a few months after Biden had left the
White House, it has important ramifications.
Here are the players:
- CEFC China Energy Co. (CEFC) was a private Chinese energy
conglomerate that has since gone bankrupt. In its heyday, CEFC, which had ties to the Communist Party,
was part of China's Silk Road effort to acquire financial control over
countries worldwide. In 2017, the U.S. Justice Department
prosecuted a CEFC official for bribing government officials in both Chad
and Uganda. China also accused CEFC of bribing local officials
within China.
- Sinohawk Holdings is a holding company partnership formed between
CEFC and the Biden family, ostensibly to invest in infrastructure, energy,
and more.
- Tony Bobulinski is an institutional investor. James
Gilliar, an international consultant; Rob Walker,
another investor; and Hunter Biden recruited
Bobulinski to be Sinohawk's CEO.
The Hunter hard drive coughed out a May 13, 2017 email that Gilliar, who was handling
negotiations with CEFC, wrote to Bobulinksi, with a cc to Hunter Biden and Rob
Walker. Gilliar identified proposed "remuneration
packages":
- Chair/Vice Chair depending on agreement with CEFC
(Hunter) 850
- CEO (Tony) 850
- James (EEIG) international consultancy agreement
business development (James) 500,000
- Rob 500
- Jim Unknown
- Sanan (Under EEIG agreement) 72,000
The email also shows that Hunter demanded
"some office expectations," while "James needs travel of 15,000K
a month." Lastly, and most significantly, the email spelled out equity in
the partnership:
[A]
provisional agreement that the equity will be distributed as follows:
20 H
20 RW
20 JG
20 TB
10 Jim
10 held by H
for the big guy?
When the email became public, people
speculated that Joe Biden was the "big guy." That theory
gained credence from a text message Hunter sent his daughter. Biden
complained that he'd spent 30 years responsible for the family's expenses, adding,
"It's really hard, but don't worry, unlike Pop I won't make you give me
half your salary." It seems Joe was always on the take.

Hunter Biden to his daughter, Naomi Biden, on January 3, 2019.

every organized crime group.

On Thursday, news broke that Tony Bobulinski had revealed who the "big guy" was:
Hunter, he said, routinely called his father "the Big Guy" or
"my Chairman." Joe wasn't the only Biden family member
benefiting from the deal with a corrupt Chinese company. James
Biden, Joe's brother, was also getting a cut. You can see
Bobulinski's full written statement here.
Then, on Thursday evening, just before the
debate, Bobulinski dropped a bombshell video saying Joe Biden was hip-deep in
business transactions with the Chinese, that Joe's involvement was secret, that
Hunter contributed access to the Biden family, and that CEFC eventually sent
its money not to Sinohawk, but to Hunter's entities:
There's more: two days after the email described above, Joe's brother, Jim,
emailed Hunter, Bobulinski, Walker, and Gilliar, with a list of "key
domestic contacts for phase one target projects." That list
includes some familiar names:
[Kamala] Harris,
D-Calif.; Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.; Sen. Amy Klobuchar,
D-Minn.; Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.; Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.; New
York Gov. Andrew Cuomo; New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio; former Virginia
Gov. Terry McCauliffe [sic], among others.
It seems that Joe and Hunter Biden
intended to take advantage of Joe's political connections, although there's no
evidence they ultimately did so.
Considering that Joe had already left
office by May 2017, why does this still matter? There are several
reasons.
First, as is discussed here, the initial phases of the Sinohawk project date to 2015–2016,
when Biden was still the vice president.
Second, no one can doubt that Joe was
contemplating running for election at the time, yet he crawled in bed with a
corrupt company.
Third, China was then our largest
geopolitical rival, making it unseemly for a former vice president and future
(he hoped) president to do business with it.
Fourth, this transaction provides evidence
of a pattern and practice: Joe used his political office to funnel money to his
drug-addled son. His son, in turn, would hold on to a huge cut for
Joe. In other words, Joe sold out America for his personal benefit.
Biden Whistleblower
Emails: Chinese Energy Company Gave $5 Million Non-Secured, Forgivable Loan to
Biden ‘Family’

A
2017 email from a top official with a Chinese energy firm, provided by a
whistleblower to U.S. Senate investigators, demonstrates the terms of an
agreement included officials with the firm giving a $5 million non-secured,
forgivable loan to the Biden “family.”
The email, sent to SinoHawk Holdings
CEO Tony Bobulinski, shows how a top official with CEFC Energy — a now bankrupt
and defunct energy company based in China — offered to wire $10 million into an
account to begin operations, $5 million worth of which would be a non-secured
forgivable loan to the “BD Family,” which means the Biden family.
Breitbart News senior contributor
Peter Schweizer spent four and a half hours with Bobulinski before he went
public, and discussed these communications in particular regarding this loan
during that meeting. According to Schweizer, the Chinese energy company
officials were going to put $10 million into an account, $5 million of which
was designated as a non-secured forgivable loan to the Biden family. Schweizer
said this would constitute significant leverage the Chinese energy company
officials would have over the Biden family.
“In a way, this would give CEFC
greater leverage over the Biden family than simply giving them a gift or bribe
because if they were dissatisfied with what the Bidens were doing they could
ask for their money back,” Schweizer told Breitbart News when asked about the
arrangement upon the public release of Bobulinski’s emails.
The email also says that $5 million
loan is “interest free” and asks how that $5 million would be used, and if used
up, whether CEFC should lend more money to the Biden family.
This email
further fleshes out details surrounding the controversial arrangement first
uncovered by U.S. Senate investigators in a recent Homeland Security Committee
report, and later further uncovered by a bombshell New York Post story on
emails retrieved from Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Bobulinski’s
new emails add to the story by including terms of the financial arrangement
behind the wire transfer that CEFC officials made into a firm aligned with the
Bidens that then made significant payments to Hunter Biden’s own firm, a wire
transfer and financial payments that were first exposed by Senate
investigators. The New York
Post’s Hunter Biden laptop emails added more information to
this questionable arrangement by revealing emails that showed how Biden
associates intended to divvy up the cash from the Chinese investors.
These new emails from Bobulinski add
more to the picture by showing that the agreement was that this payment would
serve as a non-secured forgivable loan, and that the CEFC side of the
arrangement understood that the then-forthcoming payment — which Senate
investigators confirmed was made just two weeks after these discussions —would
serve as a loan to the Biden “family,” not just to Hunter Biden.

This email is part of a broader
trove of documents that Bobulinski provided to U.S. Senate investigators with
the Homeland Security and Finance Committees, and also to media outlets
including Breitbart News. Other media outlets are reporting on the emails as
well.
According to the Senate Homeland
Security Committee’s recent report, $5 million was wired directly into the
account in question two weeks later — and then Hunter Biden’s firm spent the
next year wiring $4.8 million from there into his own firm’s account:
Less than two weeks later, on August 8, 2017, $5 million was wired from a
CEFC-affiliated investment vehicle to a Delaware LLC, which spent the next year
transfering nearly $4.8 million directly to Hunter Biden's firm, according to
Senate investigators. https://t.co/Byyo3FNp3T pic.twitter.com/8XHHVTuFml

CEFC was a
controversial energy company, as Breitbart News has reported. “The owner of
CEFC, Ye Jianming, was among the most ambitious of Chinese tycoons before his
business empire collapsed and he vanished into the Communist nation’s shadowy
prison system,” Breitbart News’ John Hayward wrote earlier
this week. “Ye was once portrayed as one of China’s greatest rags-to-riches
stories, a humble park ranger who began making successful oil investments in
his twenties and became a billionaire before he hit 40. He was marketed as an
affable businessman foreigners could feel safe making deals with,
well-connected but not an obvious tool of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).”
CEFC is at the center of the
burgeoning Biden scandal. When Bobulinski went public on Wednesday night, he
was the first source on one of the emails that the New York Post published from
Hunter Biden’s laptop retrieved from a computer repair store in Delaware. One
such story that the Post published was about Hunter Biden and the Biden family
seeking a deal with CEFC, and in those original emails James Gilliar of J2cR
emails Bobulinski about “remunerations packages” related to the CEFC deal.
“I am the recipient of the email
published seven days ago by the New York Post which showed a copy to Hunter
Biden and Rob Walker. That email is genuine,” Bobulinski said in his statement
issued publicly.
Bobulinski
had been, sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News, cooperating
with the Wall Street Journal for
an investigation it is working on. But since the Journal has not published
its story several days later after its staff had indicated it would, Bobulinski
decided to go public on his own on Wednesday night — and made clear he is
cooperating with Senate investigators.
In the
original email, published by the New York Post, from Hunter
Biden’s laptop, Gilliar references a breakdown of how money acquired would be
distributed throughout the firm of which Bobulinski was CEO. The email says at
one point that “10 held by H for the big guy.”
In his
nearly 700-word statement, Bobulinski confirmed the
authenticity of that email and further explained its meeting including that
“the big guy” was a reference to former Vice President Joe Biden, the 2020
Democrat presidential nominee, himself.
“What I am outlining is fact. I know
it is fact because I lived it. I am the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings which was
a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the
Biden family,” Bobulinski said. “I was brought into the company to be the CEO
by James Gilliar and Hunter Biden. The reference to ‘the big guy’ in the
much publicized May 13, 2017 email is in fact a reference to Joe
Biden. The other ‘JB’ referenced in that email is Jim Biden, Joe’s
brother. Hunter Biden called his dad ‘the Big Guy’ or ‘my Chairman,’ and
frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various
potential deals that we were discussing. I’ve seen Vice President Biden saying
he never talked to Hunter about his business. I’ve seen firsthand that that’s
not true, because it wasn’t just Hunter’s business, they said they were putting
the Biden family name and its legacy on the line.”
Report:
Kamala Harris Listed as ‘Key Contact’ for Biden Family Business Venture in
China

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) was
reportedly
listed as one of several “key domestic
contacts”
for a Chinese business venture proposed
in
2017 by Hunter Biden and James Biden,
the
son and brother of former Vice President
Joe
Biden, respectively.
Fox News reported Thursday
morning:
A list of “key domestic contacts” for a joint venture involving
Jim and Hunter Biden and now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co. included former
Vice President Joe Biden’s current running mate Sen. Kamala Harris, among other
prominent Democrats, Fox News has learned.
An email exclusively obtained by Fox News, with the subject line
“Phase one domestic contacts/ projects” and dated May 15, 2017, Biden’s
brother, Jim Biden, shared a list of “key domestic contacts for phase one
target projects.”
…
The list, included Harris, D-Calif.; Senate Minority Leader
Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.; Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.; Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand,
D-N.Y.; New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo; New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio; former
Virginia Gov. Terry McCauliffe, among others.
It is unclear if any of the Democrats were ever contacted about
the “target projects.”
Last week, the New York Post revealed Hunter Biden’s venture in China, citing emails in which he
said that a deal could be “interesting for me and my family” and that 10% of
the equity in a new firm would be “held … for the big guy.”
On Wednesday evening, Breitbart
News reported that one of the recipients of
Hunter Biden’s emails, Tony Bobulinski, confirmed that “the big guy” was a
reference to Joe Biden himself.
Bobulinski also said in a statement to the press: “I’ve seen
Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business. I’ve
seen firsthand that that’s not true, because it wasn’t just Hunter’s
business, they said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on
the line.”
Breitbart contributor Peter Schweizer
noted recently in his book Profiles
in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite that Biden’s relatives often
traded on his name to make money abroad:
The Biden family partners are often foreign governments, where
the deals occur in the dark corners of international finance like Kazakhstan,
China, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Ukraine, and Russia. Some deals have even involved
U.S. taxpayer money. The cast of characters includes sketchy companies, violent
convicted felons, foreign oligarchs, and other people who typically expect
favors in return.
…
The Biden family’s apparent self-enrichment depends on Joe
Biden’s political influence and involves no less than five family members:
Joe’s son Hunter, daughter Ashley, brothers James and Frank, and sister
Valerie.
…
The Bidens leverage political power not only for generating
deals, but also for the opportunities to quietly develop the financial
resources of wealthy friends for the benefit of the family. Friends that help
the Bidens can count on Joe to grant them governmental favors.
Though Biden has tried to dismiss recent stories about
Hunter Biden’s emails as a “smear” campaign, no one has yet disputed the
authenticity of the emails released by the Post, Breitbart News,
Fox News, and others.

BOMBSHELL: Hunter Biden Email
Names Kamala Harris, Others as Key Contacts for 'Joint Venture' With China
Energy Co.
BY BRYAN PRESTON OCT 22,
2020 12:07 PM ET

The emails purported to be Hunter Biden’s on that
abandoned laptop have been verified by one recipient. They’re real
and they’re spectacularly damning, according to Tony Bobulinski, a former
business partner of Hunter Biden.
Another email begs for answers from Joe Biden’s
vice-presidential running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris. Fox News reports:
A list
of “key domestic contacts” for a joint venture involving Jim and
Hunter Biden and now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co. included former Vice
President Joe Biden‘s current running mate Sen. Kamala
Harris, among other prominent Democrats, Fox News has learned.
An email exclusively obtained by Fox News, with the subject
line “Phase one domestic contacts/ projects” and dated May 15, 2017, Biden’s
brother, Jim Biden, shared a list of “key domestic contacts for phase one target
projects.”
The
email is unrelated to the laptop or hard drive purportedly belonging to Hunter
Biden, the former vice president’s son.
Jim Biden is the Democratic nominee’s brother.
It’s a shame the media won’t stir itself to cover
this. Or, when they do, they’ll spin it faster than a NutriBullet.
Because it looks for all the world like the whole
Biden family trades on Joe’s long and mediocre career in politics, with Hunter
as the tip of the lucrative spear.
And they don’t care at all about who they trade with,
including the communist oligarchy that rules China.
Here is the actual email. Mr. Bobulinski is
one of the cc’d recipients, along with Hunter Biden and two others.
The Biden camp has not responded to it in any way.
Joe himself remains under his self-imposed lid until after tonight’s final
presidential debate, which will be moderated by a journalist with longstanding
Democratic ties. Harris has yet to hold any sort of press event. The malevolent
media have not clamored for one.
Sen. Harris is specifically named in the email, along
with several other prominent Democrats and one Republican.
The
list, included Harris, D-Calif.; Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.;
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.; Sen. Kirsten
Gillibrand, D-N.Y.; New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo; New York City Mayor Bill de
Blasio; former Virginia Gov. Terry McCauliffe, among others.
One question comes quickly to mind: Was Harris ever
contacted about this, and if so, by whom? Will the moderator ask it of Joe?
Will the moderator ask about Joe’s nickname?
Bobulinski has confirmed both the authenticity of the
laptop email related to him and that the cryptic reference to “the Big Guy,”
who would supposedly rake in $10 million from the deal with a Chinese energy
company, is in fact a reference to Joe Biden.
Bobulinski
was referring to an email, Fox News obtained last week, dated May 13,
2017, which included a discussion of “remuneration packages” for six people in
a business deal with a Chinese energy firm. The email appeared
to identify Biden as “Chair / Vice Chair depending on agreement with CEFC,” in
an apparent reference to now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co.
Reaction from most of the media and the Biden camp:
crickets.
CEFC is close with the communist government, as are
all successful mainland Chinese companies, and has been involved in Beijing’s “Belt and Road” initiative by
which China has sought to use its economic and manufacturing might to displace
U.S. influence around the world.
