IMPORTANT- Were Trump's casinos an elaborate Russian money laundering scheme? [View all]

https://twitter.com/Khanoisseur/status/817876860788817920

How on earth was Trump losing money on his casinos while competitors were making bank?

You can say "haha what a dummy-losing money on casinos" but as I noted, Trump's losses appear deliberate, planned

But what if there's more to Trump's casino losses, which ran billions of dollars. Was it to disguise Russian money laundering?

Article below from 1995 notes how Russian mafia was laundering money in and out of the US using dummy corps

A coincidence that Trump's projects–after banks ditched him–were financed by Russian mafia linked Bayrock?

Soviet characters–Sater, Arif, Sapir, Mashkevich-suddenly pouring hundreds of millions into a bankrupt Trump?

Were these Russian links established during Trump's casino run-he helps them with laundering-they bail him out?

Recall the lawsuit against Bayrock naming Trump and kids alleges $250 million were laundered, untaxed, to Russia

We know Trump was getting tax benefits for losing people's investments, but now we have this laundering angle

Here is the smoking gun: US Treasury fined Trump's casinos $10 million for "significant, long standing anti-money laundering violations"
