"Federal authorities are investigating whether Deutsche Bank complied with laws meant to stop money laundering and other crimes, the latest government examination of potential misconduct at one of the world’s largest and most troubled banks, according to seven people familiar with the inquiry.

The investigation includes a review of Deutsche Bank’s handling of so-called suspicious activity reports that its employees prepared about possibly problematic transactions, including some linked to President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, according to people close to the bank and others familiar with the matter."

1. YES, about time

Bankers and International investors, it's time to sell that cheap stock before it becomes a junk bond.

Give up what you have on Pootie and the oligarchs and nobody gets hurt!

4. I'll believe it when i see actually people paying for their crimes.

I don't have much hope. Rich people are in a different criminal system, one where they don't pay.

5. Ms. McFadden told The Times that she had warned in summer 2016 about transactions by the Kushner

Ms. McFadden told The Times that she had warned in summer 2016 about transactions by the Kushner Companies involving money being sent to Russian individuals. Other Deutsche Bank employees prepared reports in 2017 flagging transactions involving legal entities associated with Mr. Trump, including his now-defunct charitable foundation, according to current and former bank employees. In both instances, the suspicious activity reports were never filed with the Treasury Department.

Oh that's not suspicious at all.

So will Barr attempt to quash the congressional subpoenas or keep the financial records under wraps if released, citing an ongoing federal investigation?

6. Let me guess. The corrupt walrus will shit all over this investigation and will do

his damnest to quash it, like he has done so far with everything else. And it will all end up with "Nothing to see here... Move along...".

7. This is the kind of feel-good story America needs right now.

And get the names of the connections overseas, like the “Indonesian billionaire” who bought cough overpaid for cough Unstable Jr Moron’s house in LA.

8. Don't forget this started with Danske Bank

Money laundering in an Estonian branch of Danske Bank. There was a whistle blower or it would still be happening.
