Teneo Holdings [wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teneo / official: www.teneoholdings.com]
Teneo is an international advisory and investment banking company founded in 2011. In this long ass
thing I compiled documents that show why I think they're a front for Clinton Foundation pay-to-play
activity.

“Need get this asap to them although I'm sure cvc won't believe it to be true bc she doesn't want to.
Even though the facts speak for themselves.”
- Doug Band
“I'm also starting to worry that if this story gets out, we are screwed.”
- Doug Band
“I realize it is difficult to confront and reason with her but this could go to far and then we all
will have a real serious set of other problems... She is acting like a spoiled brat kid who has nothing
else to do but create issues to justify what she's doing because she, as she has said, hasn't found her
way and has a lack of focus in her life. I realize she will be off of this soon but if it doesn't come
soon enough....”

2. Claim: Clinton Collected $50K Per Month From MF Global, 2011-12-5
humanevents.com/2011/12/05/claim-clinton-collected-50k-per-month-from-mf-global/
I'm about to quote basically the whole article so just read the linked article you lazyass.
“A former MF Global employee accused former president William J. Clinton of collecting $50,000 per
month through his Teneo advisory firm in the months before the brokerage careened towards its Halloween
filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Teneo was hired by MF Global’s former CEO Jon S. Corzine to improve his image and to enhance his
connections with Clinton’s political family, said the employee, who asked that his name be withheld
because he feared retribution.”
“The source, who is no longer associated with MF Global, said Teneo is a dual-track company with one
side devoted to merchant and investment banking and the other side set up to provide image and strategy
consulting services.
Clinton is the chairman of the company’s advisory board. His duties and compensation have not been
released. The other member of the board is former British prime minister Tony Blair.”
“Two of the three founding partners are very close to the former president and his wife, Secretary of
State Hillary R. Clinton. They are Douglas J. Band, who is the former president’s counselor and has
served on his personal staff since 1995 and Declan Kelly, who earned the “Hillraiser” status in the
secretary’s 2008 run for president for bundling more than $100,000 for the campaign.
Another prominent member of the Clinton political family is Tom Shea. Shea is a senior vice president
for Teneo Strategy and served as Corzine’s chief of staff, when Corzine was the governor of New Jersey.””
“Kelly sold his public relations firm Financial Dynamics… and stayed with that company until July 2009,
when he joined the State Department as the Economic Envoy to Northern Ireland.
The source said, “Kelly was given a job they created out our whole cloth.””
“Kelley and the former president traveled together networking and making introductions at international
conferences and events, he said.
The Secretary of State also traveled with Kelly, including the October 2010 U.S. – Northern Ireland Economics
Conference, which Kelly organized and at which the secretary was the featured speaker.”
“Teneo landed its first major client June 1, when the Rockefeller Foundation gave Teneo a $3,447,150, six-month
contract to help plan the foundation’s 2013 centennial.
The foundation is another member of the Clinton’s extended family. It gave Clinton its Lifetime Innovation
Achievement Award July 27 and the foundation is listed as a between $1 to $5 million contributor to the William
J. Clinton Foundation, along with several members of the Rockefeller family who are listed as individual
contributors.”
3. Above article found in Podesta Email 2346 "Re: Fw: FYI" 2011-12-06:
https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/2346
“On another note, I was in London Sunday and did a Foundation event Sunday evening and two people separately voiced
concerns directly to me about Teneo, neither of whom I know well (one of whom is a friend of one of Marc's old colleagues,
ie we know only tangentially) and Sara Latham (whom Victoria and Jennifer, I do know well - she worked for my Dad in
the WH and lives in London) voiced serious concerns to Bari - including telling her Ilya has called Members of the House
and Members of Parliament, "on behalf of President Clinton," for Teneo clients (eg for Andrew Liveris and Dow who's coming
this month to London), without my father's knowledge and inelegantly and ineffectually at best and at worse has now
precipitating people in London making comparisons between my father and Tony Blair's profit motivations. “
- Chelsea Clinton
“Sara also told Bari she started working for Teneo, as Teneo, more than a year ago and then recently stopped because she
was so upset, partly because of what Doug and Declan asked her to do/ pretend was happening for their clients at Davos- that's
all I know.”
- Chelsea Clinton
Podesta Email 3399 "Re: Draft Infrastructure Model" 2011-12-(07-17) [Chain]: https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3399
“Late last night, laura graham called me as she couldn't reach my brother or her shrink. She was on staten island in her car parked
a few feet from the waters edge with her foot on the gas pedal and the car in park. She called me to tell me the stress of all of
this office crap with wjc and cvc as well as that of her family had driven her to the edge and she couldn't take it anymore. I spent
a while on the phone with her preventing her from doing that, as I have a few times in the past few months, and was able to reach roger
and her shrink. Bruce said the stress of specifically the office had caused his very serious health issues as you both know. ”
- Doug Band
“But I'm sure chelsea is more concerned with a mostly false story in the distinguished ny post about mf global and teneo not
her role in what happened to laura/bruce, what she is doing to the organization or the several of stories that have appeared in
the ny post about her father and a multitude of women over the years.”
- Doug Band
“Its going to hurt teneo to have wjc on the adv bd any longer but we need come up with a reorg concept for the relationship with
wjc and teneo that is lower key and handled privately and properly that we should discuss.”
- Doug Band
4. Attached Document, Proposed WJC Infrastructure Model December 9, 2011
“This document seeks to identify a paradigm that fits within the best practices frame being developed for the Clinton Foundation
through the corporate audit to ensure appropriate distinctions and considerations of appearances and ethics are observed for it
and all the entities with which the President is associated...”
“Currently, the President personally compensates certain employees to perform duties that fall outside of the scope of the
Foundation entities’ mission... To bring greater transparency and clear of the lines of accountability, the President can establish
an independent personal office... The PO would serve as the nucleus of decision-making for the overarching allocation of WJC’s
time – Foundation/Non-Profit Activity, Former President, Political Activity, For-Profit Activity and Personal Activity... Assuming
these employees are compensated solely by the President, they may engage in any activity in support of his activities.”
“With the Clinton Executive Services fashioned to support a solely independent PO, the following model could attend:
Doug and Justin are engaged by the PO as consultants to advise the President and his PO Chief of Staff/CEO on matters that span the
spectrum of the President’s activities.”
“President Consulting Arrangement with Teneo
Since July 2011, the President has served as an advisor to Teneo in support of its establishment and start-up. Commencing January 1, 2012,
the President instead will become a client of Teneo; Teneo principals will provide consulting services to the President in his
personal capacity.”

www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-08-15/huma-abedin-s-overlapping-jobs-renew-focus-on-clinton-conflicts
“Huma Abedin stepped down from her post as deputy chief of staff at the State Department and Hillary Clinton’s ever-present personal
assistant on June 3, 2012. Only she didn’t really leave.
Instead, in a reverse twist on a program intended to bring talented outsiders into government, Abedin was immediately rehired as a “special
government employee.” She also took paying jobs with the Clinton Foundation and Teneo Holdings, a consulting firm with international clients
that was co-founded by a foundation official who also was Bill Clinton’s long-time personal aide.”

it's a Dennis mtg, they're assembling other potential high donors.
I know both of the Libra brothers - Nick and George Logothetis (George lives in London) from WJC-land and Davos.

Environmental awareness programs and local participation schemes are embedded throughout Libra’s hospitality operations via
‘Give with Grace’, operated by the Grace Foundation.
Under the program we donate $1 for every night that a guest stays at one of the Libra Group hotels. Guests are then invited to
match those funds, thus doubling the contribution to our selected charity, SOS Children’s Villages, which supports abandoned and
orphaned children.

Now seems like a good time to take a moment to reflect
So, Teneo Holdings, a private company founded by close associates of the Clinton family, featuring Bill Clinton and Tony Blair
as original advisors, which restructured itself to mask impropriety between itself and WJC (yet maintained positions as consultants
across all his affairs), is potentially working as a corporate middle man for Clinton Foundation pay-to-play activities.
Why all the that wasted time about the rich Greeks then? Some of you probably remember Marc Mezvinsky, CVC's veritable Gordon Gecko of a
husband. His hedge fund Eaglevale, that he founded with a pair of ex Goldman guys and Michael Fox of Woodbine Capital, lost very large on
their Eaglevale Hellenic Opportunity Fund [1]. Which especially sucked for working class Californians, because it included CalPERS money [2]
along with private capital. The fund focused on Greek stocks and bonds, and HRC looked for bailout plans [3] like a cool mom-in-law. She even
acidwashed a moderately significant attachment [4]. I'm sure she regrets it, though.
About a year before Our Big Fat Greek Conglomerate (and fellow Teneo client) got on the Hillary train, Marc Mezvinsky and George
Logothetis spoke together at the Annual Capital Link Invest in Greece Forum in New York [5]. The panel discussion was called Putting Greece
On The Global Investment Agenda – The International Investor Perspective [6].
Seems reasonable to conclude that under the facade of Teneo and WJC's private office structure which they created, they can meet with
bodies like Libra Group while raising minimal suspicion. Libra secures capital and political leverage for their operations in
Greece and abroad, while both CF and HRC's campaign receive donations (the latter in the form of both capital and personnel).

Last Pressing Question
Why the fuck does Brent Budowsky of the Podesta emails have so much to say to Podesta and why the fuck does
he still have a webtv.net email address? Does he still have a WebTV box in his house with the keyboard and
everything? Did he write those emails from his couch via WebTV?
