It came in the form of a loan to Parnas’ wife, Svetlana. Parnas’ lawyer, Joseph Bondy, said his client had no interest in fleeing and had strong ties to the U.S., where he moved as a young child after his family won the green card lottery, and is now a proud U.S. citizen.“He has a powerful incentive now to stay, not to flee,” Bondy said.
