NEW: Trump commuted the sentence of a billion dollar Ponzi schemer days into a seven-year sentence. But David Gentile is not just any financial fraudster, however: His business history is long intermingled with former Russian oligarch Michael Cherney, wanted by Interpol for alleged ties to Russian organized crime, records reviewed by Disaster Girl reveal.
Michael Cherney has long worked with another allegedly Russian mafia-linked figure—Arik Kislin—whose uncle Sam Kislin is one of Rudy Giuliani’s oldest friends and supporters, and who once reportedly helped Trump stave off bankruptcy.
Although it’s unknown exactly who advocated for Gentile’s release, his business ties bring him within two degrees of some of Trump’s oldest backers in the Ukrainian and Russian American business world, and the highest levels of the Israeli government.
…
Cherney has also long been in business with New York real estate developer Arik Kislin, the nephew of Sam Kislin. Arik Kislin, known for owning trendy Hotel Gansevoort in Manhattan, was also president of Blonde Management Company, where Cherney was his partner, according to court documents obtained by The New York Post in 2012, which showed Kislin was one of three individuals “‘authorized to give [financial] instructions’ to a company in Liechtenstein now identified as a front for the Ismailovskaya organized-crime group” according to The Post’s law-enforcement sourcesand court documents.
The FBI investigated Sam Kislin in the 90s and his ties to organized crime, and Interpol claimed in 1996 that Kislin’s firm was used by Cherney for fraud and embezzlement, according to a 1999 investigation by The Center for Public Integrity. Arik Kislin often shared addresses with Cherney, the report found.
When Arik Kislin sought a licensing bid at a Massachusetts casino in 2013, a state gaming commission investigative report stated, “We received information from the FBI that Arik Kislin is in fact known to them and has been linked to various members of Eurasian Organized Crime (EOC).”
Arik Kislin donated a small amount to Giuliani’s campaign, but his uncle Sam Kislin was one of Giuliani’s biggest campaign supporters, donating thousands to his mayoral campaigns and hosting fundraisers. Giuliani appointed Sam Kislin to the city’s Economic Development Corp. Sam Kislin would later be swept up in the 2019 impeachment inquiry against Trump, with three House committees asking Kislin for his communications with Trump, Giuliani and Ukrainian officials as part of an investigation into Trump’s push for a Ukrainian investigation into the Bidens.
Sam Kislin told Disaster Girl in a phone interview that he has not spoken to Michael Cherney in 20 years but that his nephew Arik remains close to him. “Cherney is a crook, and all Rina’s money is her father’s money,” he said. Sam Kislin said he did not know David Gentile or why his sentence was commuted. Kislin mentioned that Trump had invited him to work for his current administration but he declined due to his age.
Rina Chernaya, who owns a luxury bridal salon in Miami, and is frequently seen in social media photographs with friends who visit Mar-a-Lago often, did not reply to calls or emails. Diana Cherney could not be immediately reached. Gentile’s family accounting firm did not return a message.
Cherney’s daughters also maintain a holding company in Cyprus. In 2010, Israeli TV Channel Two covered one of Cherney’s daughter’s weddings, described as the most expensive in Israel at the time, costing $5 million, and attended by Israeli government ministers and Knesset members. Cherney’s ex-wife is reportedly close friends with Sara Netanyahu, wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a relationship Kislin confirmed.

VP_Spiro_T_CheneyA New Jersey man whose lengthy prison sentence for fraud convictions was commuted by Donald Trump in 2021 is now headed back to federal prison for another fraud conviction.
The US district judge Michael Shipp, sitting in Trenton, handed down a 37-year sentence on Friday to Eliyahu “Eli” Weinstein, 51, of Lakewood, who is also known as Mike Konig. Shipp also ruled that Weinstein must pay $44,294,803 in restitution, which is due immediately, according to court documents.
Weinstein was convicted in March on charges he helped defraud dozens of investors out of $35m. Prosecutors have said Weinstein and others falsely promised investors access to deals involving scarce medical supplies, baby formula and first-aid kits supposedly destined for wartime Ukraine.
This marked the third time Weinstein had been convicted in a New Jersey federal court for defrauding investors. The first case involved a real estate Ponzi scheme, and the second stemmed from additional fraud he committed while on pretrial release.
For those latter two cases, which resulted in combined losses to investors of approximately $230m, Weinstein was sentenced to 24 years in prison. On 19 January 2021, the day before leaving office during his first term, Trump commuted Weinstein’s term to time served after less than eight days into his sentence.
Shortly after he was released, Weinstein began orchestrating the scheme for which he was sentenced last week, prosecutors have said.

Jared Kushner hails from that Lakewood, NJ cesspool of Yiddish scum. Ivanka Trump called the wife of Eliyahoo Weinstein after the pardon.
