According to Suter, he began working with the CIA at the end of the 90's, writes BuzzFeed.

Felix Sater was born in Moscow in 1966 year. When he turned 6, his family emigrated to Israel, and then moved to the United States, where Felix received American citizenship. He grew up in Brooklyn and went into business quite early on, settling as a broker on Wall Street.

After serving a year in prison for a bar fight and losing a stockbroker's license to deceive investors on Wall Street for almost 40 million dollars, Sater, he said, did away with the “dirty” business.

In 1996, he ended up in Moscow, where he began concluding contracts in the telecommunications sector. One day, at a dinner with his Russian partners, he was introduced to the American Milton Blaine. He turned out to be an employee of the US Defense Intelligence Agency. It was he who recruited Sater. At the same time, Blaine noted that if the businessman’s intelligence work was discovered, the United States would abandon him and, at best, he would “get a bullet in the head.”

Using his contacts in Russia, Sater provided the United States with intelligence on military operations in North Korea, Osama bin Laden, the possible threat of assassination of President George W. Bush, and the location of anti-missile systems that the CIA provided the Mujahideen to deter Soviet aggression during the Cold War.

Suter says that he did not receive money from the US government for his intelligence work and he did it out of passion and desire to help his country.

Sater first met Trump when his firm Bayrock groupengaged in real estate and investment, rented office space in Trump Tower. Later Bayrock represented interests Trump Organization in several international construction deals.

After Trump won the presidential election, Sater tried to use his connections to organize a meeting between the president’s team and the Ukrainian politician, who proposed his plan for resolving the conflict in eastern Ukraine.

But this idea turned out to be a losing one, and instead of strengthening its ties with the president, Sater became involved in the case of Russia's interference in the elections in the United States and was forced to testify to Special Prosecutor Robert Muller.

“I thought everyone would benefit from this. It turned out that I lost,” Sater said.
