A Florida judge has suspended the U.S. government's asset forfeiture trial against two Ukrainian tycoons and their American associates amid concerns its continuation could harm an ongoing criminal investigation into their activities.

Ukraine’s Anti-Corruption Bureau has arrested the former deputy chairman of a Ukrainian bank at the heart of an FBI criminal investigation as he attempted to fly abroad in the latest sign Kyiv is taking steps to tackle corruption and lawlessness. Volodymyr Yatsenko was detained at Boryspil Airport in Kyiv on February 22 after investigators forced the pilot of the private jet he was traveling on to land, the bureau announced in a tweet. Yatsenko, who was on his way to Vienna after reportedly being tipped off about his arrest, was charged with the embezzlement of funds at PrivatBank, once the nation’s largest lender. More arrests of management could follow, the Kyiv Post reported. The FBI is investigating the two owners of PrivatBank -- Ihor Kolomoyskiy and Hennadiy Boholyubov -- in connection with accusations that more than $5 billion was stolen from the lender through fraudulent loans and that the money was then laundered. In a move that made international headlines, Ukraine was forced to nationalize PrivatBank in 2016 and pump more than $5 billion into the lender in order to stave off its bankruptcy. The United States accuses Kolomoyskiy and Boholyuobov of using some of the laundered proceeds to buy assets in the United States ranging from metals companies to commercial properties with the help of two American associates based in Miami.

I'm fairly confident the US DoJ will indict Kolomoyskiy and Boholyubov for money laundering.

They should also be indicted in Ukraine for embezzlement and bank theft. The two should also be forced to surrender their passports and be placed on a "No Fly" list..

And I am 100% confident that they will never get Kolomoyskiy into US court .

You can pretend to to punish your 'delinquent 'CIA assets but you never actually get around to doing anything about their crimes .
And in any case , K is protected by Sleepy Joe Binman the boss of the Crime Syndicate .
