14. Chump change for his Slavic connections to cover
Mon Oct 30, 2017, 02:02 PM
Oct 2017

Passport? Who needs one with his private jet friends who have handsomely paid off those who might report such travel?

Assuming his assets are not available by being locked up in various sketchy banks like Cyprus.

He has major Ukrainian and Russian oligarch connections. He owes them AND they owe him for entree into the river of money via real estate here just to cite one avenue.

I suspect he is quaking and feels in danger of the Russian mob and could be in that crowd of "suspicious" deaths of those who might have a reason to squeal on Putin or others.
