Trump owes more than $50 million to an LLC that exists mostly on paper. [View all]

Kevin M. Kruse Retweeted

The biggest mystery in @realdonaldtrump's financial disclosures: he owes more than ***$50 million*** to an LLC that exists mostly on paper. No employees, no office, no assets of its own.
That mystery lender, Chicago Unit Acquisition LLC,
just filed its annual report. This is it.

This one-page doc from the Illinois Sec. of State is the only annual public proof that this LLC even exists.
It shows -- as always -- that this huge creditor of @realdonaldtrump's is owned by Trump's own company.
@trump Org has not explained why or how.
