This isnt normal…
I think Global Witness is on the U.S. government’s fake news watch list. Here, let me check…
The money has to be laundered because it comes from criminal activity. Trump makes money on laundering money for criminals. Follow the money laundering.
There must be something you do to let people know your real-estate operation is eager to launder dirty money, the way certain people’s spouses will let you know with just a look at some social occasion that they regard marriage more flexibly, let’s say, than most people. Just seems like every damn mobster in the world ends up knocking at Trump’s door eventually with a cheerful grin on his face and a sack of money in his hand.
“Trump may not have deliberately set out to facilitate criminal activity in his business dealings.”
That’s a gross understatement. Trump set out to conduct criminal activity in his business dealings. The facilitation was a sideline.
I think Trump has an ad on Craigslist, in the section for “Money-Laundering.”
You put the name “Trump” on the letterhead.
Trump may not have deliberately set out to facilitate criminal activity in his business dealings. But …
… but the evidence does indicate that he did.
Hey, it all just business. The fact that legitimate outfits with money to invest, like,say, oh, I don’t know, banks, don’t want anything to do with Drumpf, just shows you what losers they are. Now the smart money, well, they know where the action is, ya know whad I mean?
Reminds me of the discussion in my first-year intro to philosophy course about the relationship or lack thereof between causation and constant conjunction. Somehow Trump and money laundering always seem tangled up together. You hardly ever hear about your friends and acquaintances selling stuff in a money-launderish way, but with Trump it’s a regular thing. That doesn’t prove anything, though, and at any rate if you suggest it does you can get sued and lose your business, so there’s that. 
Of course he did…tip of the iceberg…by the time he leaves office, his activity will be known as “The little golden book” of criminality.
One imagines being refused loans by all but one major bank might do the trick; it sort of screams ‘desperate and foolish’.
Tonight, 9 pm, MSNBC, Richard Engel will expose this whole sorry mess.
"They are not our friend, believe me. They’re bringing drugs, and not paying me a cut. They’re bringing crime, and not paying me a cut. They’re rapists, and not letting me in on the action. And some, I assume, are good people. Like me and Roy Moore. And Mike Flynn, he’s a good guy. "
I’m the last one to defend Rump, but luxury resort condominiums, which are clearly not intended for or used as a primary residence, are intrinsically attractive to money launderers. The whole project makes no financial sense to anyone else, with the possible exception of hedge fund managers. And hedge fund managers are just money launderers whose profits came from legal enterprises.
So usually people who have ties to money launderers and terrorists a being questioned by the authorities, not giving orders to them.
O brave new world
Just remember that decades ago Australia refused to allow Trump to build a casino there because of his known extensive ties to the Mafia.
