Talk:Arcadi Gaydamak

Comments
Is it just me or did all of the mention of Gaydamak's more unsavory past in weapons dealing/smuggling magically disappear? This is classically fishy. I'll try and do some more thorough research soon. 147.161.1.25 11:43, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Check it please
He was born in the Moscow, not in Ukrain.

It has received some honourable awards from the government of France.

Thank you

He's a crook
he's a real crook and he should go to prison, he buys everybody's good word with money so nobody will tell the press how much of a crook he is.

Answer to : "he is a crook": You are using a libelous allegation here, so you might be a crook yourself.

not accurate
"France has unsuccessfully attempted to obtain his extradition from Israel, but this has been declined by the Israeli judiciary..." israeli judiciary didn't decline an extradition request, as one was never submitted. 83.130.199.250 (talk) 15:52, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

gaydamak did not serve in the Israely Deffence Force at all
all that known for sure that he had worked on ZIM -Israely civil navy.(not involved with the army). allthough he was at the right age,from some reason he was not drafted (army service is a duty by law for all Jewish males ,18 years old in Israel). please clarify the page or conduct further inquirey on this particiular matter.

Does Arcadi Gaydamak control sales of (nuclear) chemicals to Iran?
Does Arcadi Gaydamak, through his companies Thermphos and Kazphophate, supply Iran with components to manufacture nuclear materials and nerve gas? Several national intelligence services seem to think so.

Ultrascan conducted an AML investigation into East European money laundering practices using the Dutch route. The Netherlands is an international hotspot for money laundering.

One part concerned shareholdings of Gaydamak in Dutch multinationals.

The research shows how governments disregarded international investigations by police and intelligence services and allowed the criminals to have their way.

PORTSMOUTH OWNERSHIP
Alexander Gaydamak was the owner of Portsmouth until 2009.here is the premier league statement issued in 2008."Premier League statement The Premier League has released a statement regarding the ownership of Portsmouth Football Club.

In response to recent press speculation regarding the ownership of Portsmouth Football Club, the Premier League can confirm that it has re-examined the current position, found there to be no variance with information already on record and therefore is able to re-confirm that Alexandre Gaydamak is the ultimate beneficial owner of Portsmouth Football Club."http://www.premierleague.com/page/Headlines/0,,12306~1401503,00.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sunnyji 2k (talk • contribs) 12:25, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Changes needed - this article does not do Justice to Mr Gaydamak
Hi there,

The following changes were added by me, however, reverted to the previous version by the forum manager. I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY? IS NOT WIKIPEDIA A FREE LAND WHERE JUSTICE SHOULD BE MADE TO EVERYONE?

PLEASE NOTE I ONLY INSERTED WELL KNOW AND CHECKED FACTS, UPDATED TO THE CURRENT OCCURRENCES AND CURRENT STATE. EVIDENTLY THE CURENT VERSION DOES NOT DO JUSTICE TO THIS MAN. HE IS A PUBLIC FIGURE WHO DONATED MILLIONS AND ALSO SAVED THE LIVES OF MILLIONS. SOME LIKE TO PRESENT HIS UNJUSTLY THOUGH. BUT I REALLY DONT THINK THAT WIKIPEDIA SHOULD BE PART OF THIS BIASED GAME. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL RECONSIDER PLACING IN THE FOLLOWING CHANGES OF MINE:

Please check them out and add the following, because for now, the article does not reflect the latest developments AND DOES NOT DO HIM JUSTICE.

1) A WELL KNOWS FACT !!!

on February 15, 2012 the Tel-Aviv District Court sweepingly withdrew all charges against Gaydamak concerning the aforementioned fraud felonies, and condemned Gaydamak to a minor fine of 21,000 shekels ($5550).

Furthermore, all money laundering accusations against him were withdrawn by the state of Israel, condemning him to a fine for an alleged "ruse without fraud".

2) A WELL KNOWS FACT !!!

He is a public figure in Israel, known for his generous donations to the State during the Lebanese war and the missiles attacks from Gaza strip on Israel, where he established refuge camps and built shelters for the security of the citizens, who were insufficiently protected by the State.

3) A WELL KNOWS FACT !!!

Gaydamak was awarded the " Order [|Order de Mérite Agricole]" according to "Journal Officiel" 1997.

4) HE IS AN ISRAEL-RUSSIAN- and also FRENCH businessman as everyone knows.

Thank you very much for your consideration and help,

Sincerely, Startrek. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Startrek123star (talk • contribs) 11:46, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
