It was around me that we raised additional external capital, possibly debt capital expansion financing from the European, Western, Singaporean, and US markets. I think the first idea was to expand into the US by a small US company,” Archer testified.

CHS said self-promotion was common in post-Soviet oligarchies and that bribing government officials was typical of Russian and Ukrainian companies.
