This guy and his family have been rolling in millions and MILLIONS for ages and ages!! Where’d they get all this dough, one wonders? And where is Cohen getting the dough to pay his lawyers, is what I’d like to know - also, do his lawyer give a shit where he gets the money to pay them?
NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, whose business dealings are being investigated by the FBI, and the lawyer’s father-in-law have lent $26 million in recent years to a taxi mogul who is shifting into the legalized marijuana industry, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.
Semyon “Sam” Shtayner, a longtime business associate of Michael Cohen’s father-in-law, created Nevada-based Cannaboss LLC the day before the 2016 election. A few months later, he took a majority position in a company that is provisionally licensed to cultivate medicinal marijuana and produce edibles, the records show.
Snip
It’s not clear whether Shtayner used any of the loans — $6 million of which have come directly from Cohen since 2014 — to finance his grow operation.

Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney and longtime “fixer” who is currently under federal criminal investigation, reportedly purchased a $6.7 million New York City apartment around the same time that Cohen’s Manhattan office, home and hotel room was raided by the FBI.
The apartment purchased in early April is in a Manhattan skyscraper developed by longtime friends of the president, Howard Lorber and Steve Witkoff, according to The Wall Street Journal. The deal was in the works since November 2017.
On April 9, around the same time Cohen closed on his multimillion-dollar apartment, prosecutors seized documents about a possible misuse of funds when Cohen made a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels as hush money over an alleged affair with the president. Trump has continued to deny the affair ever occurred.
