Mar-a-Lago seems to attract a constellation of shady figures, including Russian real estate investor Sergey Danilochkin, a wanted man who fled his home country after accusations of massive tax fraud.

According to a Tuesday Miami Herald report, Danilochkin filmed the safari-themed party last year, quipping that “the most interesting thing is that we met a lot of people here who speak Russian.”

Also in attendance at the event was Cindy Yang, the founder of a chain of Florida spas, one of which was the site of Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s alleged solicitation bust. Yang frequents Trump’s circles and has posed for a picture with Trump himself.

Danilochkin has a long and unsavory history in both Russia and South Florida. Read it here.
