add, family trust defrauding?

Per Giuliani associate can be questioned under oath about Republican money transfers, judge says Katelyn Polantz, CNN October 29, 2019

Parnas owes a family trust more than $500,000, which alleges that Parnas transferred the money to his corporate accounts, to the Trump PAC America First Action, to the National Republican Congressional Committee, and to Pete Sessions for Congress.

use of term "felicitous" sarcastic?

Article refers to the company "Fraud Guarantee" as having a "felicitous" name. This sounds sarcastic, not really in fitting with standard scholarly style.

It could be better explained, but he named the company "Fraud Guarantee" to goose Google search results, so someone searching "Parnas fraud" would find the company and not the fraud he has committed.[1] – Muboshgu (talk) 18:01, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Split

I think we should split this article. I know much of the background information overlaps but things are changing fast. Parnas was released on bail and his willingness to testify makes him unique. The two are acting independently now and treating them as one is no longer tenable. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 06:40, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support - This is just standard practice with biographies, especially those of living persons... not even sure we need to discuss this before it's implemented either as long-standing consensus would hold this shouldn't be controversial. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 11:34, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support. They are two separate individuals with different histories. Being involved in an event together shouldn't mean merged BLPs. --Kbabej (talk) 20:44, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there one article on two subjects? Shouldn't each person have their own article?
