Affiliated Interests other important people

According to the business [news website jargaldefacto] (http://jargaldefacto.com/article/erdenebilegism-a-new-phenomenon-in-mongolia-s-democracy) "it appears that D. Erdenebileg owns the majority of shares of the biggest commercial bank in Mongolia through an offshore account. This is why he sits on the board. Also, he owns 99 percent of the shares of Ulaanbaatar Bank, which was established by the current Speaker of Parliament, M. Enkhbold, when he was the mayor of our capital city. ... It is also said that TDB paid a large amount of money to have Bloomberg Mongolia work for them, and purchased Forbes Mongolia Magazine. Furthermore, TDB is behind the News newspaper Zasgiin Gazryn Medee, (Media ID-6), which deliberately gave the outside world the impression that the newspaper was released by the government. If all these claims are true, we are witnessing a phenomenon we can call “Erdenebilegism” – one individual being able to control everything."
