Well here is another missing/dead person connected to Deutsche Bank +documents. I will need to update my earlier tweets on this. Last one was Thomas Bowers in LA mysteriously found dead. Add to another 4 in Europe. Maybe DBank is cursed bc so many people re Trump loans die ??

Banker Rossi in Italy is classic-he goes out window+while lying in ally below, 2 men walk out of shadows, stand there+watch him die without saying a thing-all caught on video. If u see wrong DBank docs abt Trump loans, they will kill U. Coincidence Dbank launder Russia money ????

1. This is the first I've heard of this

But it would be in keeping with V-V-V-Putin Style.

3. Rachel reported on this a while back.

VTB, Putin's bank, is believed to have backed Trump's Deutche Bank loan. This is why Deutche Bank is the only bank to give Trump loans.

5. Not that I wish anybody dead........

But as more things involving Qrump's finances come into the light of day, suspect it"ll hurt the reQublican party.

[gab13by13]

9. It won't hurt the hard core base.

I know, I live among them. I only post sporadically on the local pro-Trump web site because I found that it's impossible for a rational person to hold a debate with an irrational person. We had like 4 people who were progressives posting there and now it's basically down to me. I even got canceled once for 6 months just for calling Trump Putin's puppet. There is no more Republican party. I suppose you could call rich people who vote Republican the sane wing of the party, or maybe the greedy wing of the party.

11. Especially do not wish this guy dead.

And I agree with the above poster, the hardcore cult of rethugs will not give a hoot.

6. In 2019 & 2014, Trump's Deutsche Bank Bankers "committed suicide."

Former Deutsche Bank Exec Connected to Trump Loans Dies by Suicide in Malibu

Thomas Bowers, who worked above Trump’s personal banker, was 55

By Ian Spiegelman
LA Magazine-November 27, 2019

A former Deutsche Bank executive who reportedly signed off on some of the institution’s unorthodox loans to Donald Trump killed himself in his Malibu home on November 19. Thomas Bowers, the onetime head of Deutsche Bank’s American wealth-management division, where he oversaw Trump’s private banker, committed suicide by hanging, according to Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s office. Bowers was 55.

Trump’s relationship with Deutsche Bank—which lent him around $2 billion after most other institutions had forsaken him for his history of defaults and bankruptcies—has come under investigation by two Congressional committees and the New York Attorney General, who are hoping the bank can shed light on Trump’s elusive finances, according to the New York Times. At one point, Bowers had a close connection to those finances.

Rosemary T. Vrablic, a managing director at Deutsche Bank who became Trump’s private banker in 2010 after being introduced by her client, Jared Kushner, reported directly to Bowers. Vrablic reportedly helped Trump secure loans from her bank, which Bowers approved—including more than $100 million to buy his Doral resort in Miami—even after Trump and Deutsche had to settle messy litigation over a Chicago loan that went bad.

Snip...

Bowers isn’t the first Trump-connected Deutsche exec to commit suicide. In 2014, Deutsche derivatives analyst William S. Broeksmit, who reportedly had links to Trump and Russia, hung himself from a dog leash at his home in London.

10. Yes

This Russian regime is probably the largest criminal enterprise in human history.

14. TrumPutin are hiding something really big and bad.

[bucolic_frolic]

16. Maybe something like

Reichsbank?

15. What about the retirement of Supreme Court justice Kennedy?

His son Justin worked at Deutsche Bank, and I believe was connected with trump loans.
Kennedy's retirement gave us Kavanaugh. I believe Kennedy was told that his son was in
potential legal trouble, but if he retired, his son would be spared. What ever became of all that?

[berniesandersmittens]

18. I suspect that as well

Kennedy's retirement and the ties to Deutsche Bank with his son are too big to be coincidences.

[Dave says]

19. Video of Trump and Kennedy

Does anyone recall the video of Trump and Justice Kennedy walking alone, shoulder to shoulder, in some hallway of Congress or the Court, when all of a sudden Kennedy turns toward Trump, takes a step back, jaw agape. He was visibly upset over something Trump said. It wasn’t long after that Kennedy resigned.

What did Trump say to him?

[msfiddlestix]

25. yes, I recall the posting here on du.

I recall the connections you reference made and I believe the same thread that photo was also posted.

[Dave says]

27. We really do live in a banana republic

It serves the interests of the wealthy and corrupt first, then, if there are any crumbs left, we might get a morsel.

We did win. The Presidency, Senate, and House. But we lost SCOTUS for at least a generation, and given the dominance of republicans in state governments, we’re likely to lose Congress to gerrymandering (the House), voter suppression (both), and god knows what other evils the dark money of Citizens United hold for us. But I remain anxious and concerned.

[msfiddlestix]

28. I'm quite concerned, anxious, worried. and horrified

All day I've been trying to stay focused on my music, practicing challenging technique. But then I open my computer to see if Clark has been confirmed to the US Justice Dept yet... only to find post after post after post of the most horrific legislative and court actions being executed into law by Texas, Georgia, Florida, Arizona freaking hell you name it.

My blood pressure starts to rise, I can feel it, and my chest starts to tighten up like I'm re-experiencing a full blown panic attack like I did early on election night, then on January 6th.

Last night on Kanopy, I clicked on a Ric Burns documentary on New York which is dated pre-9/11 because the twin towers are still in the city scape. It's a history of the settling of New York by the Dutch West India Company. The first to settle there.

And I learned how it was that Capitalism was rooted in New Amsterdam (as they named it before the Brits renamed it after a royal member of the Crown) by the Dutch West India Company right there on Manhattan Island.

I learned the story of Wall Street. named after a wall that was built to keep out other immigrants and First Natives.

Any way, it was an eye opener and explains so much more than I ever understood in all of my progressive education.

I feel like we've always been whistling in the wind, or chasing windmills or which ever meme suits.

It's all I can do to keep myself from literally panicking. I complain about the Trump Crime Family able to carry on and continue to wreak havoc freely and without restraint. Sure there's no twitter, but hell, that doesn't keep him from getting his message out none the less.

He shouldn't be free to do anything other than piss in a toilet in a cell. and neither should his family but nothing is happening at all.

Not even in Manhattan. It's nothing but DEAD AIR. This just can't be real. But apparently it is. I wake up and see that yeah, it's the same as it was yesterday. The same as it was on January 6th.

Except for the glorious fact we have Biden in the White House. xfingers that reality is lasting, at least long enough.

17. Standard practice for KGB/FSB deleting an informant who's turned them in..

The intention is to both erase the trail back to them and to frighten anyone else who might think to emulate the ex-informant.
Standard practice for mafia and terrorist gangs the world over.

[StarfishSaver]

20. I'll wait for more reliable sources than tweets from Mark G US and Eric Levai

before getting worked up over this

[Habitation]

21. They all dead nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. Thanks for posting. Seems, too much of a coincidence. But hope

he turns up ok.

23. Here's the missing person story in local media

26. Missing Broeksmit is son of DB "suicide" Broeksmit in 2014.

The elder was called “the conscience of Deutsche Bank.”

DEUTSCHE BANK SOURCE ‘MISSING,’ NEW YORK TIMES JOURNALIST SAYS

APR 16, 2021 | REPUBLISHED BY LawsInTexas: ARP 18, 2021

Excerpt...

The journalist also described Broeksmit’s manic behavior reeling around his drug use and tendencies to stretch the truth into “far-fetched theories.” He was warned not to trust Broeksmit.

Broeksmit, who was born in Ukraine, found the highly coveted documents two years ago among his father’s possessions after his death.

After sharing some of the documents with journalists and federal investigators, Broeksmit reportedly met Rep. Adam Schiff, who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, through the musician Moby, whom he met at a party. At the time, Schiff was leading an investigation into Trump’s ties to Deutsche Bank.

Broeksmit reportedly demanded the committee pay him for the documents, but Schiff refused and instead ordered a subpoena for their possession. The FBI gave Broeksmit a “special advisory title” for his French girlfriend to obtain a U.S. visa in exchange for the documents.

Trump’s relationship with Deutsche Bank was the subject of congressional interest as investigators sought information related to his tax returns and whether he was compromised by the scandals surrounding the German financial giant.
