ORIGINAL: Nnanji Here's a quote from your Bloomberg article: quote:
Two months before Trump broke ground in October 1998, Russia defaulted on $40 billion in domestic debt, the ruble plummeted, and some of the biggest banks started to collapse. Millionaires scrambled to get their money out and into New York. Real estate provides a safe haven for overseas investors. It has few reporting requirements and is a preferred way to move cash of questionable provenance. Amid the turmoil, buyers found a dearth of available projects. Trump World Tower, opened in 2001, became a prominent depository of Russian money. The Russian government defaults on debt, the Russian financial world collapses, Russian millionaires move money to New York Real Estate, including real estate developed by Trump. And you, along with fuckwit Daily Kos, now say Trump is laundering money and in cahoots with the Russian mafia. Man...you do live in a cartoon world. These articles are your very very best backup? Jees. The oligarchs ARE the fucking mafia. Russia became a mafia state when it collapsed-- it's common knowledge. They moved the money out of Russia because it was illegally gained. https://dutchreview.com/news/international-news/trump-money-laundering-in-the-netherlands/ http://www.reuters.com/article/trump-ent-trumptajmahal-moneylaundering-idUSL1N0VL2L120150211 http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/trump-okd-business-partner-with-alleged-iran-laundering-ties/ http://www.newsweek.com/trump-and-money-laundering-key-questions-ask-586770 Dailykos, however partisan, is still infinitely more informed and staffed with people infinitely more intelligent than you. You still haven't clicked on any of the Financial Times links, I see. You will dismiss anything that hurts your dear leader as propaganda. If Trump himself said he did it, you would assume it's just a brilliant strategy to manipulate the press. It is impossible to communicate with you on any level. Since you use links that don't actually say what you purport (coincidently just like the mental patient...hum) I'm usually reluctant to waste my time with you. However, to be fair I clicked one of your links and found this: http://www.newsweek.com/trump-and-money-laundering-key-questions-ask-586770 quote:
Two things are left out: first, the view “from the ground” in Cyprus that, contrary to the idea that he was developing murky dealings with Russian fellow investors, Ross’s role on the Bank of Cyprus Board was to diversify the funding sources for the Bank, to turn it away from Russia to face the West. Secondly, and perhaps crucially, there is no evidence of any illegality whatsoever during Ross’s Bank of Cyprus stint. quote:
Although there is little evidence of Trump’s direct involvement in money laundering, the trail does suggest, at best, complete disregard for knowing the origins and legal status of any funds raised. I threw this in to show that, while it was being polit here, Newsweek doesn't think anymore of Maddow's reporting than I do. quote:
This does not look like a case of money laundering, despite Maddow’s implications on this, but it does demonstrate quite neatly how real estate could be used to hide gains (including ill-gotten ones!). quote:
payments contravened regulations in any way; so far, there is no evidence to suggest that. With Trump, where there is no pattern showing direct involvement in money laundering, there is at the same time a pattern suggesting carelessness about engaging with business partners of questionable repute. Your link says exactly the oposite of what you're claiming (seriously, just like the mental patient).
