No money laundering?
If someone can sell a $5 million dollar property to the Russians or the Saudis for $50 million, how do we know that money is not being laundered for the Russian mob or the Saudi criminals?
I recall reading about one property that was sold to a Russian oligarch for something like $47 million and he almost immediately had it torn down. But the $47 million was put put into our economy in an apparently legal manner. It was laundered.
How many favors has Trump done like this, for his friends?
Not only with his mansions but with his golf courses and other assets as well.
The fraud may have been done with a more sinister purpose, in my opinion.
