The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette investigates the money-laundering destruction that Ukrainian billionaire oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky brought to America with some of the $5.5 billion allegedly stolen from his former PrivatBank in Ukraine.

On March 5, the U.S. sanctioned Kolomoisky for “significant corruption” and banned him from the US.
