Hi, I’m Wendy, an independent journalist. I publish here on substack and also directly on my website Newstracs.com.

I use open source data available on the web — such as company, SEC, advisor and real estate filings and news stories — to research and report on various topics.

The topics I cover broadly include power, politics and money with a focus on: the U.S., kleptocracy, graft, Trump, Russia, business and real estate deals, surveillance and influence companies and other legal but curious people and networks.
