# The Art Industry and U.S. Policies that Undermine Sanctions/Section 3

Layout 2
​III. ROTENBERG CASE STUDY: USING OFFSHORE COMPANIES, LAWYERS, AND ART ADVISORS TO MASK OWNERSHIP
Evidence examined by the Subcommittee suggests that the Rotenbergs used shell companies to mask their identities in transactions for high-value art both before and after being sanctioned by the United States. To form and manage those shell companies, the Rotenbergs appear to have used the services of attorney Mark Omelnitski and his company, the Markom Group. In addition, they also appear to have relied on art advisor and dealer Gregory Baltser, a U.S. citizen, to act as their representative in the art world to conceal their identities and involvement in particular art transactions, especially after becoming subject to U.S. sanctions.
Due to the lack of transparency in the art industry and in the formation and operation of shell companies, the evidence demonstrating the links between the Rotenbergs, their shell companies, Mr. Omelnitski, the Markom Group, and Mr. Baltser is not completely certain. Throughout the Subcommittee's investigation, witnesses interviewed by the Subcommittee claimed uncertainty and ignorance. One Sotheby's employee even told the Subcommittee she was untruthful to her employer when she previously stated that Mr. Baltser told her he represented Arkady and Boris Rotenberg. Regardless, the transactions outlined below represent the movement of millions of suspect U.S. dollars across international borders to purchase art, the investment of funds in U.S. assets with substantial rates of return, and a successful weakening of the impact of U.S. sanctions.

A younger sister escaped, after being scalped and left for dead. Ballard was too late to save their lives, but from his place of concealment killed nearly half of the Indians. After peace had been restored, Ballard was sent several times as a representative to the state legislature. The county of Ballard, Ky., and its capital, Blandville, were named in his honor. He died Sept. 5, 1853.

IN MEMORY OF
J. W.—R. W.
No mystic charm, no mortal art Can bid our loved companions stay; The bands that clasp them to our heart Snap in death's frost and fall apart; Like shadows fading with the day, They pass away.
The young are stricken in their pride, The old, long tottering, faint and fall; Master and scholar, side by side, Through the dark portals silent glide, That open in life's mouldering wall And close on all.
Our friend's, our teacher's task was done, When mercy called him from on high; A little cloud had dimmed the sun, The saddening hours had just begun, And darker days were drawing nigh: 'Twas time to die.
A whiter soul, a fairer mind, A life with purer course and aim, A gentler eye, a voice more kind, We may not look on earth to find. The love that lingers o'er his name Is more than fame.
These blood-red summers ripen fast; The sons are older than the sires; Ere yet the tree to earth is cast, The sapling falls before the blast; Life's ashes keep their covered fires,— Its flame expires.
Struck by the noiseless, viewless foe, Whose deadlier breath than shot or shell Has laid the best and bravest low, His boy, all bright in morning's glow, That high-souled youth he loved so well, Untimely fell.
Yet still he wore his placid smile, And, trustful in the cheering creed That strives all sorrow to beguile, Walked calmly on his way awhile: Ah, breast that leans on breaking reed Must ever bleed! ​So they both left us, sire and son, With opening leaf, with laden bough: The youth whose race was just begun, The wearied man whose course was run, Its record written on his brow, Are brothers now.
Brothers!—the music of the sound Breathes softly through my closing strain; The floor we tread is holy ground, Those gentle spirits hovering round, While our fair circle joins again Its broken chain.

# The Captive's Dream

Methought I saw him but I knew him not; He was so changed from what he used to be, There was no redness on his woe-worn cheek, No sunny smile upon his ashy lips, His hollow wandering eyes looked wild and fierce, And grief was printed on his marble brow, And O I thought he clasped his wasted hands, And raised his haggard eyes to Heaven, and prayed That he might die - I had no power to speak, I thought I was allowed to see him thus; And yet I might not speak one single word; I might not even tell him that I lived And that it might be possible if search were made, To find out where I was and set me free, O how I longed to clasp him to my heart, Or but to hold his trembling hand in mine, And speak one word of comfort to his mind, I struggled wildly but it was in vain, I could not rise from my dark dungeon floor, And the dear name I vainly strove to speak, Died in a voiceless whisper on my tongue, Then I awoke, and lo it was a dream! A dream? Alas it was reality! For well I know wherever he may be He mourns me thus - O heaven I could bear My deadly fate with calmness if there were No kindred hearts to bleed and break for me!

First published in Traffics and Discoveries (1904) with the title "From the Masjid-al-Aqsa of Sayyid Ahmed (Wahabi)", accompanying the story The Captive.
Not with an outcry to Allah nor any complaining He answered his name at the muster and stood to the chaining. When the twin anklets were nipped on the leg-bars that held them, He brotherly greeted the armourers stooping to weld them. Ere the sad dust of the marshalled feet of the chain-gang swallowed him, Observing him nobly at ease, I alighted and followed him. Thus we had speech by the way, but not touching his sorrow — Rather his red Yesterday and his regal To-morrow, Wherein he statelily moved to the clink of his chains unregarded, Nowise abashed but contented to drink of the potion awarded. Saluting aloofly his Fate, he made haste with his story, And the words of his mouth were as slaves spreading carpets of glory Embroidered with names of the Djinns — a miraculous weaving — But the cool and perspicuous eye overbore unbelieving. So I submitted myself to the limits of rapture — Bound by this man we had bound, amid captives his capture — Till he returned me to earth and the visions departed. But on him be the Peace and the Blessing; for he was greathearted!

OSORIO, Hieronymo, a Portuguese author, born in Lisbon in 1506, died in Tavira, Aug. 20, 1580. He studied at Salamanca, Paris, and Bologna, and became archdeacon of Evora, and subsequently bishop of Silves. At the request of Cardinal Henrique he wrote in Latin a history of the reign of King Emanuel (translated into English by James Gibbs, 2 vols. 8vo, London, 1752). Among his other works is a treatise De Gloria Libri V, so much admired for its pure Latinity that he has been called the Cicero of Portugal. A complete collection of his works was published in Rome by his nephew (4 vols. fol., 1592). His library was taken from Cadiz by Lord Essex in 1596, and added to the Bodleian library.

OSMUNDA, a genus of ferns popularly known as flowering ferns. With one other genus they form the suborder Osmundaceæ, in which the spore cases are naked, globose, and each with a short pedicel or stalk; their surface is covered with a fine network, and they open into halves by a longitudinal slit. The name flowering fern is of course a misnomer, and was probably given on account of the showy character of the fructification. They are the largest and most conspicuous of our native ferns, and are abundant in low grounds almost everywhere, north and south, forming large clumps; each rootstock throws up numerous fronds, which are often 5 ft. high. We have three species. The royal fern, O. regalis, differs from the others in having twice-pinnate fronds, which bear the fructification at the top, where
it forms a showy panicle. This species is also found in Europe, where it attains a much greater size than with us; here it is rarely over 5 ft. high, but in favorable situations in England it not unfrequently grows to 8 or 10 ft., and specimens as high as 11 ft. have been found. The other two species have their sterile fronds once pinnate. Clayton's flowering fern (O. Claytoniana) rarely exceeds 3 ft.; from two to five pairs of the divisions in the middle of the frond are fertile, and being covered with spore cases have a very different appearance from the rest of the frond. The third species is the cinnamon fern (O. cinnamomea), which differs from the others in having some of its fronds entirely fertile and the others, from the same rootstock, entirely sterile. This is very common in swamps and wet places, and in early spring the unfolding sterile fronds, clothed with a rusty wool, are conspicuous; they become smooth when full-grown; the fertile fronds are in the centre, 1 to 2 ft. long, and covered with bright cinnamon-colored spore cases; these decay early, and the sterile fronds grow to a length of 4 or 5 ft.
