The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports:
For a time, Anna de Rothschild boasted of her family roots to the European banking dynasty, donning designer clothes, a Rolex watch, and driving a $170,000 black Mercedes-Benz SUV. She talked about developing a sprawling luxury housing project on Emerald Bay in the Bahamas, a high-rise hotel in Monaco, and a Formula One race track in Miami, say people who knew her.
A pivotal moment for the woman who was fluent in several languages took place last year when she was invited to Mar-a-Lago, where she mingled with Trump’s supporters and showed up the next day for a golf outing with Mr. Trump and Sen. Lindsey Graham. But the 33-year-old woman was not a member of the famous banking family, and is now a subject of a widening FBI investigation that has delved into her past financial activities and the events that led her to the former president’s home.
The Organized Crime Reporting Project reports:
OCCRP and the The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette have learned that the woman who guests said posed as a Rothschild is actually Inna Yashchyshyn, a Russian-speaking immigrant born in Ukraine, daughter of a truck driver and the former director of a Miami charity called United Hearts of Mercy.
She is also under investigation by Canadian law enforcement, and the FBI is asking questions about her business dealings. Her charity was kicked off payment processing platform Stripe after its experts found stolen credit card numbers from Hong Kong were used to route donations to the charity.
Photos and videos from May 2021 obtained by the Post-Gazette and OCCRP show Yashchyshyn was quite convincing as an imposter Rothschild, a fact confirmed by interviews with multiple people who met her at the resort.
