      What a ride this thread is. (We were, like others, looking into Demeter Direct tonight — but CNN was already on it.)https://twitter.com/mj_lee/status/995120964252983297 …

      First on CNN: The CEO of a company called Demeter Direct tells CNN he worked as middle man in Michael Cohen-Korea Aerospace Industries deal. He emails me that he was “brought in as business consultant and translator“ between Cohen and KAI.

      This would explain why Demeter Direct’s website was down already when I looked within minutes of @MichaelAvenatti’s tweet earlier tonight.https://twitter.com/mj_lee/status/995121126102700032?s=21 …

      CNN had reached out to Ko earlier this week, based on reporting that led CNN to believe Demeter Direct had helped arrange Cohen’s business consulting deal with Korea Aerospace Industries. Ko only responded to the inquiry Friday evening.

          Indeed, Korea Aerospace Industries had a huge fraud scandal just last year (one executive committed suicide, chief executive and others were indicted). They were charged with fraudulent accounting, BRIBERY, and embezzlement. What legit consulting could Cohen possibly provide?

          Michael Cohen had to hire a translator, Mark Ko, to pitch his bribery scheme to Korea Aerospace Industries, who then paid him $150k. I bet Ko had an interesting conversation with Bob Mueller. #CohensTrailOfMistakes

          This makes no sense. Is Mark Ko a CPA? A known translator? A known business consultant? Has anyone in the Korean-American business community heard of this guy?
