Trump and friends have been following The Idiot's Guide to Money Laundering

[Bourbon]

Smurfing, structuring, offshoring, Delaware shell corporations, sham real estate transactions. Between Trump, Manafort, Cohen, Kushner, Gates and Flynn, they've managed to hit them all. It's such basic stuff. It worked before Trump brought the magnifying glass of public exposure to their scams.

They just didn't work hard enough to cover their tracks. In the end it will all look like pretty amateur stuff. Law schools are going to teach Financial Crimes 101 and these guys will provide a complete curriculum. The most embarrassing thing will be that they were so bad at it.

[Controlled Opposition]

They should have taken lessons from the Clinton Foundation.

Yeah, nobody pinned anything on them in a quarter century. Not for want of trying.

The Clinton's, thus far, have been too big to jail. Of course the same is true of the Bush clan and others of that political elite class. Things could change.

The other party always backs off because their turn will be next.

That's a more reasonable response than Tranquillus offered. But I am a political atheist. The system is corrupt and broken.

Why don't you look up how a public operational charity works and how it is structured?

Do you believe that your writing style makes you sound more intelligent or less intelligent?
Do you belive it makes you seem more mature or less secure?
Do you think it makes you come across as more rational or less rational?

[Controlled Opposition]

If you rob a bank but don't get caught, you are still a bank robber.

[Controlled Opposition]

Why don't you look up how a public operational charity works and how it is structured?

You've obviously done it, so why don't you just explain it to me? You should include a paragraph or two about how the Clinton Foundation has never been audited.

Too big? WTF. They were investigated for decades, over and over. If they had a scrap of criminality the Repubs would have been tying nooses. The Repubs did not respect them at all. They want to win, even if lying and cheating are required.

Was Trump SoHo Used to Hide Part of a Kazakh Bank’s Missing Billions?

Court cases playing out on two continents may reveal whether the bank’s former chairman funneled money into three condos in the Manhattan luxury tower.


For eight years, Kazakhstan’s BTA Bank has waged a legal war on three continents against former Chairman Mukhtar Ablyazov. It’s a clash that has featured death threats, a hack of Kazakh government computers and at least $4 billion in missing bank assets. Now, court cases playing out on both sides of the Atlantic could pull back the curtain on whether some of those funds wound up in properties developed by former associates of Donald J. Trump.



BTA Bank, once the Central Asian nation’s biggest lender, has accused Ablyazov of embezzling billions of dollars’ worth of mines, hotels, shopping centers and other assets in the former Soviet bloc between 2005 and 2009. Even as the lender sought to recover those holdings, Ablyazov and members of his family were
hundreds of millions of dollars into properties in Europe and the U.S., including three condominiums in a 46-story luxury development in lower Manhattan known as Trump SoHo, court documents allege.



Ablyazov enlisted his son-in-law, Iliyas Khrapunov, to help him conceal his assets, according to sworn statements from former associates of the fugitive financier.
