        Also vibes, gut feeling, and I heard it from some guy. But mostly just facts, and I guess that’s not worth much these days.

    The Trump org has never been a “real-estate development” business. It has always been a “money laundering” business.

    trump and Epstein were business partners. Trump provided access to young women and girls via his pageants and the Trump modeling agency. And the Trump org laundered the money.

      That’s also how he “bankrupted a casino,” BTW. The people who attributed that to simple incompetence fell for it.

    Capital One Financial (COF.N), hit back on Friday against a lawsuit over its decision to close ‌the Trump Organization’s bank accounts years ago, stating that it did so after a review by anti-money laundering experts.

    The disclosure marks the first time a bank has formally tied money laundering concerns to U.S. President Donald Trump’s family business. Capital One is seeking to dismiss ​the case by casting doubt on claims of illegally debanking — or denying services on religious or political grounds — ​the Trump Organization.

      Years ago. How many years ago? Now everyone has to go back and think did I ever do anything to hurt the king? To hurt his feefees? To get his little scrotum all tied in a knot? And then suffer his wrath.
