Trump owes $300 million to bank involved in global money laundering scheme led by Russian criminals
Trump owes $300 million to bank involved in global money laundering scheme led by Russian criminals
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/trump-owes-300-million-to-bank-involved-in-global-money-laundering-scheme-led-by-russian-criminals/
Between 2010 and 2014, Deutsche Bank and dozens of financial institutions processed “at least $20 billion … in money of ‘criminal origin’ from Russia” by making fake loans to each other “underwritten by Russian businesses,” which would subsequently default on these debts. As the Guardian notes, courts would enforce judgments against the companies, effectively green lighting massive, legal transfers of funds to the Latvian bank Trasta Komercsbadka (TKB).
Deutsche Bank acted as a “correspondent bank” for TKB, offering services for the Latvian bank’s “non-resident Russian clients,” allowing the money to transfer out of Latvia to banks throughout the world, the Guardian repots. The bank stopped offering correspondent services to TKB in 2015.
Maija Treija, Latvia’s deputy finance minister, told the Guardian the money that made its way through the TKB was “either stolen or with criminal origin.” and was used to get money from the former Soviet Union “into the EU financial system.”
Deutsche Bank’s connection to criminal money from Russia is further complicated by news that the German bank loaned about $300 million to Trump. A secret internal internal review by the bank looked at potential connections between multiple loans made to the president and those close to him with financial ties to the bank—including Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner and Kushner’s mother, Seryl Stadtmauer.

O, guess this is *INTERNATIONAL* crimes, so maybe CIA? IC? Interpol? 
Get 'em!!!
No wonder tRump filed bankruptcy so many times.
Lock this crook up NOW!
It was stated by his daughter that he was $8 billion in debt in 1995.
Where in the HELL did he get $8 billion from since?
It didn't magically appear out of nowhere or did he invest in Russia ...
Alas the plot thickens and again, something is very very traitorous IMO.
