FBI Seeks Sex Coach in Thailand

Somehow I passed on this story the first time it came around, fortunately it came around again, this time when the FBI took the bait: FBI tried to contact 'sex coaches' in Thai jail

FBI agents have tried to meet a pair of self-styled "sex coaches" detained in a Bangkok jail who claim to have evidence of Russian meddling in the 2016 US election, a senior Thai official told CNN.

Belarussian citizens Anastasia Vashukevich and Alexander Kirillov sent a handwritten letter last month to the US Embassy in Bangkok asking for help in getting them released in exchange for information on alleged meddling in the US presidential election.

Quote Sex Choaches unquote? I suppose there's a job for everybody. She looks a little young to be exceptionally well practiced. But I can see a lot of men signing up to be coached.

The FBI agents contacted Thailand's Immigration bureau last week to try to organize the meeting, the highly placed source in the department said.

The request was refused by Thai officials because only legal representatives and family members of the detainees are permitted access to the detainees, added the source, who is not authorized to speak to media.

Asked about the FBI's attempt to meet the pair, a spokesperson for the US embassy in Bangkok referred CNN to a statement released last week.

She's in a foreign jail, and wants out really, really bad? And is willing to say anything to do it?

"We are aware of media reports of this individual's arrest. She is not a US citizen, and we would refer you to Thai law enforcement for further questions," it said.

Vashukevich -- who is widely known by her social media pen-name Nastya Rybka -- and her boyfriend and mentor, Kirillov, who goes by the pseudonym Alex Lesley, were among ten Russian-speaking "sex coaches" arrested on February 25, when Thai police raided their week-long sex training seminar in the resort town of Pattaya.

Nastya? Now there's a name.

They claim Russia orchestrated their arrest to stop them from revealing incriminating evidence - which Russia denies.

Vashukevich claims she has proof of Russian interference in the 2016 US election in the form of more than an hour of audio recordings and photos of meetings. None of the alleged recordings or photos of those meetings have been made public.

Vashukevich, who claims to be the former mistress of Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska, says she witnessed several meetings in 2016 and 2017 between Deripaska and at least three unnamed Americans.

Wow, three unnamed Americans? Trump must be guilty!
