The Money Launderer

The New Republic published a detailed article on Thursday (link here) with the title "Trump’s Russian Laundromat -- How to use Trump Tower and other luxury high-rises to clean dirty money, run an international crime syndicate, and propel a failed real estate developer into the White House."

The premise is simple and the documentation extensive: pricey Manhattan real estate was a great way to launder Russian mob money and no-questions-asked Donald Trump always made it particularly easy for Russian mobsters, with some of whom Donald Trump has partied, to buy and sell condos in his buildings.

Shortly after the Soviet Union collapsed, when a flood of mob money washed into Manhattan looking for investments to launder cash, the perfect outlet was a developer who accepted anonymous buyers. Trump was one of the very first developers to do so.

What, if anything, Trump did that was illegal remains to be seen. However, we can find comfort in the fact that Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the man in charge of the criminal investigation into Donald Trump and his campaign, has hired some of the top white collar and money laundering prosecutors in the country.

If there are Trump crimes to be found, there's a very good chance Mueller's team will locate them.

    1. Thierry Pépin is from here, Montréal, and did begin in movies like «Danny in the Sky» and two other ones too.
      But these movies weren't great success so he moved to NYC to do modeling for GREGG underwears.

  3. Not really surprising because Trumpty Dumpty is only worshipping MONEY.

    His main god is MONEY and he doesn't give a shit about anyone that is poor.

    I saw an article in Canadian press telling how "HE" is doing anything to avoid paying any huge taxes on his golf courses lands.

    Many on his lawyers are always fighting the municipal evaluations on his possessions to make him pay less and lesser taxes on those golf courses.

    So no surprises here that MONEY is his main motivation to fight for.

    He NEVER did show his income taxes before and after being elected as president. EVERY other presidents and aspiring ones DID show their income taxes reports. NOT HIM !
    Surely he has LOT to hide to the USA citizens. Those American taxe payers are now paying "HIM" ALL his expenses like his many trip to Mara Largo and more.

    Such a spoiled brat and ultimately, a thief.
