Deutsche Bank’s review found that Rosemary Vrablic, a senior private banker, “engaged in undisclosed activities related to a real estate investment.”

The transaction was a 2013 Park Ave. apartment purchased from a company called Bergel 715.

Jared Kushner was a minority investor in the entity. But it looks like another client of Vrablic's also might have been involved. What a mess!

7. Weren't the Trump RE deals the main launderer of Russian money?

Since the value of RE is only what someone will pay, RE sales are used as conveyers of large sums of money in hi-end markets like NYC.

4. Deutsche Bank is a sewer. Wonder what keeps it from being

shut down? Maybe the same thing that keeps Wells Fargo from being shut down.

10. Wells Fargo is a criminal enterprise.

The paltry fines they're forced to pay are a tiny percentage of the money they have been stealing from customers. Anyone who banks with them is a fidiot. MOVE YOUR MONEY TO A LOCAL BANK OR CREDIT UNION. PERIOD!

5. Real estate deal equals money laundering

Hope this leads somewhere.

15. My best friend and I just came through this.

We both bought new homes last summer. She had been having some serious financial problems for a few months previous until she sold her house, and I had been helping her through them. You wouldn't believe the bullshit we had to go through because of the transfers between bank accounts that had been going on. We were both like, seriously? A couple of *ahem* older women are going to launder money for some shadowy figure $200-$300 at a time? These guys fuck around with millions for years before someone noticed and decided to do something about it. So typical.

6. How did Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump earn as much as 120m last year?

Like many millennials, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner juggle their day jobs with side hustles – and boy have they been hustling. New financial disclosures show that the gruesome twosome made between $36.2m (£27.7m) and $157m in combined outside income while they worked in the White House last year. (It is impossible to pinpoint the exact amount because they are each required only to report within a number of very large ranges, but suffice to say they are not struggling.)

...

Let’s start with Kushner’s stake in Cadre, an online property broker, which is worth between $25m and $50m. “Cadre is going to make us billionaires,” the boy wonder announced to colleagues when he co-founded the company with his brother in 2014. It certainly seems to be doing well: the Guardian reported last year that Cadre had received $90m in foreign funding, funnelled through secretive offshore companies, since 2017. However, Kushner was so busy making peace in the Middle East that apparently he forgot about Cadre and only belatedly added his stake in the company to his disclosure form.

...

Another item on Kushner’s financial report is the $1m-$5m he received from a company called Bergel 715 Associates last year. The New York Times has dug into Bergel 715’s dealings and discovered that Rosemary Vrablic, a Deutsche Bank employee, and two colleagues bought a $1.5m apartment from the company in 2013.

...

While most of Javanka’s riches come from property, it would be unfeminist of me not to mention Ivanka’s literary career. Her disclosure for 2018 showed a $263,500 instalment of her advance (reportedly $787,500) for her 2017 literary masterpiece Women Who Work. This is a steal for a book in which Ivanka imparts philosophical gems such as “women who work are real” and confesses that often she did not have time to treat herself to a massage during the 2016 election.

11. Gosh. I hope none of this tarnishes little Jar-jar's halo.

It would be so unfair to diminish in any way this hero's sterling and selfless contributions to the American way of life.

13. Is "2013 Park Avenue" the address? Or the year the transaction took place?
