Deutsche Bank Staff Saw Suspicious Activity in Trump and Kushner Accounts

One of the places I bank now requires my ID if I deposit cash because that's a "suspicious activity". Mind you, I'm talking putting $200 cash into my own account, not $20k.

I do have to laugh at banks like that because typically you can deposit in ATMs without any ID as long as you are below a certain amount (usually like $5K or above). Mind you I understand if you are depositing over $10K or something asking for ID, but that's ridiculous for just $200.

It's good to see that you corrected yourself ... :lol:

Your previous statement: "... Trump has been found guilty of money laundering before ..."

Your corrected statement: "... Trump Taj Mahal casino broke anti-money laundering rules ..."

Yeah, makes his criminal activity much more tolerable, doesn't it?

It's a freaking business account too. Totally blew my mind the first time it happened.

Nor did they find Taj Mahal Casino guilty of money laundering. I believe HumblePi has a slight problem with reading comprehension.

The Trump Taj Mahal admitted to have willfully violated reporting and record-keeping requirements under the federal Bank Secrecy Act from 2010 to 2012. These violations included many that had been previously revealed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as far back as 2003. Trump wouldn't have paid civil penalty fines of 10 million dollars if his company was innocent of those crimes and besides, they admitted to the crime.

I saw suspicious material when Justice Kennedy resigned a day before the news broke that his son lent Trump a $1B.

The Right Wing coup is in full swing. Deny Obama Judge Garland. Conspire with Russians to steal the election from Hillary. Insert two new SCOTUS Judges and a host of appellate ones, then own the Judicial Branch for a generation.

This, and the dark money and the voting restrictions reflects a real understanding on their part that post people don't want them. Democracy is not their friend.

Of course, I'm not an idiot, I know what money laundering is. Let me give you just one example of what money laundering looks like. For example, Russian dark money (illegally gained proceeds) goes into Deutsche Bank, or the Bank of Cyprus. Illegitimate funds are introduced into a legitimate system. The source is easily disguised.

Then, criminals like Trump borrow millions of dollars from these shady banks and buy real estate since real estate is the easiest way to launder money. Front companies, shell companies, trusts and company structures established overseas is used to purchase this real estate at a price that's sometimes double or triple the actual value of the real estate. So, for example, if Trump borrows 5 million from Deutsche Bank, then purchases a condo high rise in Florida for 5 million, then sells condo units in that building for three times the going rate, he makes a hefty profit and the money gets laundered in that manner and nobody questions it.

The trouble with that, is Trump is now indebted to those LLC corporations and their owners that paid the exorbitant over-market value price.

This is why Trump is trying to block Congress from subpoenaing his financial records from Deutsch Bank, or at the very least to put it off until after the 2020 election. Everybody knows Trump was laundering money, and all he's trying to do is stall that revelation from being a matter of public record for as long as humanly possible.

We have to be sure that the details of this story are in fact true, because the details here are what make the difference.

Some transactions at a bank getting flagged is actually not a biggie, or indicative of a crime taking place. What is incredibly troublesome is money being diverted back and forth covertly to foreign sources, as that's one of the tell tales of money laundering taking place.

I've been beating this drum for some time now. Deutsche bank has a history of being a harbor for money laundering activity, especially for Russian and eastern European organized crime, as well general financial schemes. The fact that Trump sought them out and they continue to do business with him, despite his idiotic lawsuits, really raises the question that perhaps their relationship is less than kosher, and perhaps there's an "understanding" of what's allowed to take place in Trump related accounts.

There's a reason Bannon warned Trump about this area of inquiry: Trump's financial transactions at Deutsche bank have the potential to be a goldmine.

Good thing Waters and Schiff are inquiring about this.

Congress doesn't have the authority to subpoena the bank records, neither. :lamo

I understand your desire for caution, but the New York Times hasn't gotten the central aspect of a story wrong since 2003.

If you aren't an idiot as you claim, why would you make something up such as this;

"Trump has been found guilty of money laundering before and paid heavy fines for it too. The Trump Taj Mahal casino was involved in money laundering for years."

Not to gang up on you, but a claim like "Trump has been found guilty of money laundering" is sort of significant and actually does merit a link.
