The Bloomberg story is embedded in TPM's story. The bottom line is a series of Russians/Ukrainians, etc first buying units in Trump buildings, then moving to financing them.

I personally agree with Josh Marshall that this is the story rather than looking for something more, but I think it's more than just a symbiotic business relationship in that Trump is so beholden to Russian interests that he is subject to being manipulated because he's so in debt to Putin's oligarch friends. I believe Trump understands Putin could pull the rug out from under his finances if he wants.
