Finance & defence consultant Karon von Gerhke-Thompson:
- has given a detailed account of the CIA operation to a congressional committee investigating Russian corruption

Konanykhine needed her help to:
- set up an offshore bank for Menatep
- buy 100 passports for 'preferred clients'
- He also wanted 15 diplomatic passports 'at any cost for very, very special clients of Menatep'
- 'He wanted to establish the bank and obtain the naturalised passports from a Latin American or Caribbean country
- that offered unrestricted [transfers] of capital and stringent bank secrecy laws'
- He wanted the passports to 'enable Menatep's clients to travel freely into eastern and western European countries to manage their assets & business investments'
