Belarusian 'sex coach' says she was warned to keep quiet about oligarch Oleg Deripaska

The model, who goes by the name Nastya Rybka on social media, was detained at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport earlier this month on prostitution allegations after being deported from Thailand, where she had spent nearly a year behind bars for soliciting. She was freed from police custody last week.

Claims made to 'save my life'

She told CNN from a Thai detention center last year that she witnessed meetings between Deripaska and at least three unnamed Americans. Now back in Moscow, she says the claims she made to the media were an attempt to get media attention to save her life.

Asked if she regretted making those claims about the evidence she had, Vashukevich said, "I think it saved my life, how can I regret it? If journalists had not come at that time and that story had not come to the newspapers, maybe I would die [be dead by] now."

She might have had a better chance for a long life in prison.

Assuming her claims have some basis in fact, her knowledge about Deripaska’s meeting with several, presumably well known and powerful, Americans could be very troubling to said Americans. Out of the frying pan and into the fire, is more like it I think.

You definitely have a point. I’m still unclear

@ovals49
on exactly WHO Deripaska is and who he was really working for.

Mueller may have a conflict — and it leads directly to a Russian oligarch

They said FBI agents courted Deripaska in 2009 in a series of secret hotel meetings in Paris; Vienna; Budapest, Hungary, and Washington. Agents persuaded the aluminum industry magnate to underwrite the mission. The Russian billionaire insisted the operation neither involve nor harm his homeland.

"

One agent who helped court Deripaska was Andrew McCabe, the recently fired FBI deputy director who played a seminal role starting the Trump-Russia case, multiple sources confirmed.

We tried to turn over every stone we could to rescue Bob, but every time we started to get close, the State Department seemed to always get in the way," said Robyn Gritz, the retired agent who supervised the Levinson case in 2009, when Deripaska first cooperated, but who left for another position in 2010 before the Iranian offer arrived. "I kept Director Mueller and Deputy Director [John] Pistole informed of the various efforts and operations, and they offered to intervene with State, if necessary."

FBI officials ended the operation in 2011, concerned that Deripaska's Iranian contacts couldn't deliver with all the U.S. infighting. Levinson was never found; his whereabouts remain a mystery, 11 years after he disappeared.

The FBI rewarded Deripaska for his help. In fall 2009, according to U.S. entry records, Deripaska visited Washington on a rare law enforcement parole visa. And since 2011, he has been granted entry at least eight times on a diplomatic passport, even though he doesn't work for the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Former FBI officials confirm they arranged the access.

The same could be said of Andrew McCabe

@Amanda Matthews

I’m still unclear on exactly WHO Deripaska is and who he was really working for.

Under color of law, the trading drugs, weapons, nuclear material and state secrets could be extremely profitable. Not everybody in the FBI is a Sargent Joe Friday. Compromise enough important people through operations involving illegal surveillance and underage sex so they look the other way or even go out of their way to protect you and you’re home free. It’s not a swamp, it’s a sewer.
