3,500% wealth surge: Questions mount as Minnesota Rep. Omar’s husband scrubs firm’s site
Story by Mike Jenkins • 2h


Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is facing renewed scrutiny following reports that her husband’s venture capital firm, Rose Lake Capital, quietly removed a list of key officers from its website. The digital purge coincides with questions regarding a massive spike in the couple's reported wealth, which financial disclosures show jumped nearly 3,500% in a single year.
 
According to a filing submitted in May, the couple’s net worth has climbed from modest figures to an estimated range of $6 million to $30 million.

A significant portion of that valuation comes from Tim Mynett’s firm, Rose Lake Capital. In 2023, the firm reportedly held less than $1,000 in assets; the latest disclosure values it between $5 million and $25 million.
 
The New York Post first reported the website changes, noting that nine advisors and officers were deleted from the site between September and October. The scrubbed names included high-profile figures such as former Obama ambassadors Adam Ereli and Max Baucus, former DNC treasurer William Derrough, and Alex Hoffman, an associate of the DNC Finance Chair.

I'm sure this is a scam by Republicans to get Omar thrown out of congress.  You know someone deposited all kinds of money in the bank account of Omar and her husband without their approval or knowledge to set them up for a fall. *****rollingeyes*****

But of course, Omar wouldn't do anything illegal and people need to stop picking on her!  *****rollingeyes*****

New info on Ilhan Omar’s husband’s investment firm not paying taxes. He & his partner had to forfeit their Rose Lake Inc. registration in Delaware in 2024 for failing to pay a big $403K in back taxes plus having no registration agent. This is right as Omar was claiming in her disclosures his stake in it was suddenly worth up to $25M from less than $1K a year before.

How does a firm that is supposedly worth $75M-$150M not able to pay its taxes?

And D.C. cancelled the registration for Rose Lake Capital, too, for failure to pay a tiny $1,770 in back taxes. Again—why couldn’t it afford even that?

There’s little to no public evidence of real business activity here.

There’s no verifiable public track record of Rose Lake actually managing money for outside investors, completing transactions, or generating meaningful revenue. 

No publicly disclosed clients, investment deals, portfolios, or transactions have been identified for Rose Lake Capital.

No SEC filings (e.g., Form ADV) show Rose Lake or its principals registered as investment advisers — which most firms with outside investors are required to file. 

Government financial disclosures show Rose Lake reported little or no income for 2024, the year Omar listed it with a huge valuation of up to $25M from less than $1,000 just the year before.

Media reports state Rose Lake’s public website removed the names and bios of its listed officers and advisers amid scrutiny.

As for his winery where Omar suddenly valued his stake in at $5M in 2024 up from $15K-50K in 2023 - there is no clear public evidence the winery even exists, or produces or sells significant wine.

There are no signs of a functioning winery facility, tasting room, or production operations at the supposed address.

An investor sued Mynett and his partner alleging they promised to triple his investment in the winery but failed to deliver returns, he claimed in his suit “there is no legitimate business there.”

NEWS Ilhan Omar’s husband runs a supposed “masters of the universe” investment firm but its D.C. address matches that of a WeWork. Its website boasts “deep global networks built from on-the-ground work in more than 80 countries” when its apparent D.C. WeWork office evidently shares space with a Walmart operation and the American Trucking Assn. This is the firm Omar valued his stake in at upwards of $25M.

Yeppers.  She's well insulated .... more so than Walz and Frey.
