Son of arrested Russian oligarch works at a US defence investment firm, 8VC

The son of Vadim Moshkovich, Jack Moshkovich, works at the US venture capitalist fund 8VC which currently claims it has up to $8 billion in assets under management. 8VC has investments in various US defence companies including Palantir, Anduril, Indigov, Epirus, Citizen, and Esper. The actual name of “Jack Moshkovich” is Evgeniy Moshkovich.

8VC is run by Joe Lonsdale who has worked closely with Peter Thiel and David Sacks. He is a member of what is described as the “Paypal Mafia”.

Vadim Moshkovich is a Russian oligarch and billionaire who was arrested in Russia last week on fraud charges. He owns one of Russia’s largest agricultural companies called Rusagro.

David Sacks owner of Craft Ventures and also a close friend of Joe Lonsdale went silent on X.com (Twitter) following Vadim Moshkovich’s arrest. He broke his silent on Monday by claiming that Ukraine is stealing from the United States.

This is a developing story and we are currently investigating.
