Donald Trumps former right-hand man and personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, made $7 million earlier this month when he unloaded his stake in two Manhattan apartment buildings, Bloomberg reports.
He sold his ownership in properties at 330 East 63rd Street and 133 Avenue D for $13 million, documents show. But a source tells Bloomberg that Cohen walked away with only $7 million after covering the debt.
Cohens financial situation has been murky over the past few months. In July, he bought a $6.7 million apartment in Tribeca. But by August, he was reportedly telling people hes broke. Not so broke that he still doesnt go out to ritzy dinners though.
Its unclear from the Bloomberg article when Cohen made the sales before or after he started raising money from Democrats on GoFundMe, where hes closing in on $166,000 in donations.

It could be a back handed way of making sure he doesn't cause more trouble for Trump and his criminal enterprise.
