Tin foil hat time ... are 'they' doing a raid against a supporter of trump so as to hiccup logistics of 2024? Close-enough to existential, Guo needs trump to win, just as Trump's family needs Trump to win, and as Bannon needs trump to win bloomberg.com NYC Condo Listed at $45 Million Housed Exiled Chinese Tycoon Guo Wengui has occupied the residence for several years Entity that owns the apartment filed for Chapter 11 in 2020 Blake Schmidt 16 February 2022, 07:40 GMT+8 781 Fifth Avenue in New York. Photographer: Anthony Behar/Sipa/AP The 15-room Manhattan condo where exiled Chinese tycoon Guo Wengui has lived for years is on sale for $45 million, about $23 million less than it was purchased for in 2015. The entity that owns the apartment, Genever Holdings LLC, filed for Chapter 11 protection in 2020. Former bankruptcy judge Melanie Cyganowski was installed to handle the sale process for the apartment, which appeared today on the Serena Boardman website. Documents in the Chapter 11 proceedings said Guo, also known as Miles Kwok, resided at the property, which comprises the entire 18th floor of the building at 781 Fifth Avenue and has views of New York’s Central Park. Genever Holdings bought the unit in 2015 for $67.5 million, according to New York property records. The listing describes the condo as “perched high atop the prestigious Sherry Netherland Hotel” and suited for “grand entertaining and a big lifestyle.” Guo was held in contempt last week and ordered to pay $134 million to a creditor after a judge found that the businessman moved a yacht out of U.S. waters to shield it from debt collection.

Ultra-wealthy tycoon Whitney Duan was involved in the purchase of a condo in a skinny skyscraper on Park Avenue that is now facing foreclosure, while city records show an entity linked to HNA Group sold properties at a loss in Extell’s One57 building.

Speaking of logistics, and saving lives Arguably the former might be helping the cause of the latter bloomberg.com U.S. Vaccines Sent Overseas Turned Away Amid Logistics Trouble Challenges include getting supplies to where they’re needed U.S. has donated and shipped 437 million doses abroad so far Josh Wingrove 16 February 2022, 07:34 GMT+8 The Biden administration says some foreign countries haven’t been able to accept their full allocation of vaccine donations from the U.S., as they increasingly grapple with logistical barriers and vaccine hesitancy. “There have been moments, yes, where countries are not able to receive the doses that we’re able to provide,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said at a briefing Tuesday. She didn’t identify the countries. The U.S. has donated and shipped 437 million doses abroad so far, more than any other nation, and pledged a total of at least 1.2 billion. President Joe Biden held a virtual summit in September to muster a more coordinated global response, though advocates say that’s still lacking.

Photographer: Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg “A big part of our effort right now, and where we have seen challenge, is turning vaccines into vaccination, which means working closely with our partners on the ground and dealing with hyper-local issues countries may be facing,” Psaki said. Biden’s Global Vaccine Push Falters, Echoing U.S. Struggles Her statement is the latest in a series of signals that vaccine supply alone is no longer the chief problem. Instead, shot-starved developing nations are grappling with other challenges, like how to get vaccines to where they’re needed, obtaining supplies to administer them, storing them at ultra-cold temperatures when necessary and easing reluctance among their populations. Vaccine equity advocates have called on Biden and other Western leaders to do more, while acknowledging that the U.S. has led the world in donations. Rich countries are being urged to expand supply, loosen patent restrictions and smooth logistical barriers in developing nations. About 54% of the world’s population has been vaccinated, according to Our World In Data, though the total is far lower across much of Africa in particular. Biden has pledged to vaccinate 70% of adults worldwide by September, roughly in line with a similar World Health Organization target. Advocates say the world is badly off-pace to reach that goal, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken acknowledged this week that the world is “well below” its target speed. “This pandemic is the definition of a crisis that no country can solve alone,” Blinken said Monday. “We all know the reality that the pandemic is far from over.” Psaki said Blinken sounded the alarm “in part because he wants to rally the world to do more.” Biden is to host another virtual summit on vaccination next month.
