Last night, a body washed ashore right off the coast of Trump Golf Links, Ferry Point, located on the East River, just east of Manhattan. The body was discovered by children playing near the river at approximately 8:30 pm.
According to the New York Post, the actual location of the body was considered to be property of the golf course. Security guards working for the golf course quickly blocked off the area, while the NYPD Harbor Unit investigated the matter.
The body was decomposed to the extent that the gender of the individual could not be immediately determined, and it is now in the possession of the New York City medical examiner, who will try to determine the cause of death.
This is the second body found at a Trump golf course in the last 13 months. Last July a deceased 26-year old woman washed ashore at the Trump National Golf Course in Rancho Palos Verdes, California.
....
(Perhaps its a coincidence. Perhaps the current flow just brings bodies to Trump locations.)
I Will keep watching this story as to the identity & cause.
Gee, sure hope they weren't aspiring young models
Will post as more is reported.

Owner Of Russian Import/Export Company Charged With Evading U.S. Export Controls By Sensitive Electronics To Russian Military And Int
NEWARK, N.J. – A resident and citizen of Russia was indicted by a federal grand jury today for his alleged role in an international procurement network that smuggled over $65 million worth of electronics from the United States to Russia in violation of export control laws, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito announced.
Alexander Brazhnikov Sr., 72, of Moscow, is charged by indictment with one count each of conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to smuggle goods from the United States, and conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Brazhnikov Sr. is currently at large.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
Brazhnikov Sr. was the owner, chief executive officer, and principal operator of ABN Universal, a privately held Russian microelectronics import/export company in Moscow.
His son, Alexander Brazhnikov Jr., 39, of Mountainside, owned and operated four New Jersey-based microelectronics export companies in Carteret, Mountainside, Union, and Manalapan.
Brazhnikov Sr. and Brazhnikov Jr. participated in a sophisticated procurement network that secretly acquired large quantities of electronic components from U.S. manufacturers and vendors and exported those parts to Russia on behalf of Russian business entities authorized to supply those parts to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB) and Russian entities involved in the design of nuclear warheads and other weapons.
As part of the scheme, Brazhnikov Sr., through his Moscow business, obtained initial requests for quotes for the U.S.-

FOUNDER OF TWO CLOSED CRYPTOCURRENCY SERVICES PLEADS GUILTY TO FEDERAL CHARGES
JUL 25, 2018
The operator of two now-defunct cryptocurrency services – BitFunder and WeExchange – has pleaded guilty on charges of securities fraud and obstruction of justice.
Jon Montroll, 37, also known as Ukyo, has pleaded guilty to securities fraud and obstruction of justice in front of the U.S. Magistrate Judge James Cott in Manhattan according to Reuters.
SNEAKY MOVES
According to the prosecutors, Montroll, who is from Saginaw, Texas, operated the cryptocurrency storage and exchange service WeExchange Australia PTY LTD.
He also operated BitFunder.com – a platform which allowed users to sell virtual shares of businesses for bitcoins.
The prosecution stated that in the interim between 2012 and July 2013, at the least, the defendant deceived investors in WeExchange by taking their bitcoins, selling them for fiat currency and eventually spending them on personal expenses.
Going further, in July 2013, Montroll also solicited investments in a security which he conveniently called Ukyo.Loan – a derivative of his screen name, Ukyo.
