    Deutsche Bank Helped Trump Connect With Rich Russians for Anonymous Real-Estate Deals: Book

    ENABLERS

    Published Feb. 04, 2020 12:42PM ET 

    REUTERS

    Despite decades of default worries, lawsuits, and acrimony, Deutsche Bank officials are said to have ignored deep internal concerns about Donald Trump and his finances and loaned him billions of dollars and introduced him to wealthy investors—including Russians—who were looking to keep their real-estate dealings anonymous. Dark Towers: Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump, and an Epic Trail of Destructiona new book by New York Times Financial Editor David Enrich due Feb. 18, reports that, in 2006, the German banking giant’s employees organized get-togethers for Trump and a Los Angeles partner with its rich clients—including some Russians—“who used anonymous shell companies to buy units” in a Hawaii hotel complex the future president was developing. Enrich reports that Deutsche, which has been caught enabling money-laundering for Russian oligarchs and misleading financial regulators in three countries, also helped Trump create “special purpose vehicles” that made it “easier for him quietly and inexpensively to acquire international properties for himself and his companies.” The financial entities also helped “the mogul strike under-the-radar deals in far-flung locales, including some that were popular destinations for people looking to hide assets,” an excerpt of the book reads.

    The book claims a reckless pursuit of profits by Deutsche executives and compartmentalized sets of bankers led to the Trump loans, but they did come after officials fretted over his ties to organized-crime figures in Atlantic City and New York and concerns that his projects “were laundromats for illicit funds from countries like Russia, where oligarchs were trying to get money out of the country.” In the end, Enrich writes the entire real-estate industry was dealing with such “flight capital” and “the loans looked profitable, the relationship felt valuable, and the concerns went unheeded.”

  • These fucking people. Good lord, stop giving them your money.

    Officials in Florida have reportedly opened an investigation into a fundraiser by former first lady Melania Trump.

    The New York Times over the weekend reported that Trump is selling tickets to an April "high tea" event, from which organizers say profits will benefit an initiative of her Be Best endeavor called "Fostering the Future." The initiative is meant to provide computer science scholarships to young people who have been in foster care, the Times reported.

    The Times reported that no charity with the name Fostering the Future or Be Best has been registered in Florida.

    And that's why he does. It's why his base makes sure to call him an "alpha male." It's why they're obsessed with accusing their opponents of pedophilia. It's why the say "America First."

    To be fair, Trump is winning.  I don’t like it.  You and others keep posting stuff like this and being all giddy, but until something like this actually convicts him of a crime he is the one winning.

    I wouldn't go that far.  He's spending millions on legal fees and is being attacked on all angles.  I don't call that winning.  Winning in my world is not having your company indictment, not having your accounting firm disavow your statements, not having a select committee set up specifically because of your activities.  This is not winning.  It's not jail, but it ain't winning.

    But he didn’t win re-election nor the 62 associated court cases claiming election fraud, did he? Or do you believe otherwise?

    This right here is what is wrong with ‘Murica, that someone thinks POOTWH is a “winner” or “winning.”

    I don't know that he's winning. But he's not going to lose the way that some people are hoping. He's far more likely to add a "47" to that "45" than to be convicted of anything.

    I wouldn't go that far.  He's spending millions on legal fees 
    I guarantee he's not spending nickel one from his own pocket though, he's got 80 million fools donating on a recurring monthly basis covering that for him.

    To be fair, Trump is winning.  I don’t like it.  You and others keep posting stuff like this and being all giddy, but until something like this actually convicts him of a crime he is the one winning.

    Sure, but that money could be used for something else that benefits him too.

    True, but how many Glamour Shots of Ivanka can one man own?

    I don't know that he's winning. But he's not going to lose the way that some people are hoping. He's far more likely to add a "47" to that "45" than to be convicted of anything.
    If you want to keep the Democrats in the White House, you would want him to be the Republican nominee.

    I know we have went round and round about this, but I still think it would depend on the D candidate.  I don't feel the strong anyone but Trump vibe that I felt in 2020.  Hopefully I remain incorrect.
