Cohen used same shell corp he had used for Stormy's payout to take all that influence peddling money from various businesses who hoped he would steer Trump Admin policies favorably and he probably didn't report those payments on his taxes either. Besides the four payments publicly reported, there were several other large suspicious deposits reported by his bank that have been kept under wraps during investigation by Treasury and DOJ. So he is in heaps of trouble.
