Kiev's Kredit-Dnipro Bank said the decision to accept Strauss-Kahn and five others to the advisory body was taken on Monday and goes into immediate effect.

It added that Strauss-Kahn would serve as an independent committee member who does not represent shareholders' interests.

Pinchuk is the son-in-law of former Ukrainian president Leonid Kuchma and is believed to have holdings worth $1.43 billion (1.29 billion euros), according to Forbes magazine.

Strauss-Kahn led the International Monetary Fund from 2007 until his forced 2011 resignation over rape charges in a New York hotel.

Not in his circles. He used proles for his amusement in ways that his wealth allows and his colleagues have ensured that he will again as is his right as a member of the Privileged.

I ever had for Ukraine has vanished. I hope Putin takes it.

DSK is a subhuman scumbag.

Funny though, I've never met a Ukrainian who wasn't an anti-Semite. Wonder if it's ok as long as they're bankers?
