"The merger between Trump Media and Digital World was supposed to provide the Trump company with up to $1.3 billion in capital, as well as a stock market listing." Making it, I believe, a SPAC.
Nothing illegal tied to Trump surprises me. It's just a matter of time before he's charged with cannibalism. Or bigamy. Hell, just pick anything unsavory and wait for it.
It's like Drumpf keeps churning up new grifts and scams and crimes every week simply to keep all the investigators so busy they never find closure or get to a point of filing a charge. He delays, ducks, and obstructs and so far, he's winning. He just needs to keep up the pace another year and a half and then he expects to be re-installed in power thru fascist voters and his crooked government officials that have wormed their way in like termites and will again be untouchable.
Remarkable. No one who can see thru this seems to be able to do anything about it.
Thanks for connecting the dots (or is it sewer pipes?). Grifters know each other when they see each other. The world will be a better place when all these miserable creatures are locked up. They are a cancerous growth on society.
After reading this commentary I checked my bank account and counted my stuffed animals. Everything is okay. I checked my house plant and made sure my house keys were on the table. All of this as creepy as can be. How such blunt fraud can go on year after year? What is tragic is the cruel realization thatTrumps presidency was a front for a dozen scams. Maybe more.
Digging down into any deal *Rump has involvement in is bound to reveal some unsavory component. It defines him. There probably isn’t anyone who has had dealings with him who didn’t get cheated or regret the experience. No legitimate/decent bank, if there is such a thing, will do business with him in New York, and elsewhere. That’s why he went looking for Russian money, and he found it. I don’t understand why all his business operations haven’t been investigated under the RICO statutes (organized crime statutes).
Lucien, this caused my head to spin. My fervent wish is that this awful cast of characters would crawl back under a rock again, never to reappear. In answer to your question, I think Trump contaminates everything he touches -- but I'm not sure that these people were totally clean before meeting up with him.
Significantly, the NY Post, Rupert Murdoch's execrable daily supply of fish wrapping, picked up this story from the Guardian. Could that be an indication of the Old Man's disaffection for the Orange One? Has Dr. Frankenstein finally decided that destruction of the monster he helped create is in his economic interest?
It never ceases to amaze me how some people worship trump as some sort of business genius, a “self-made” billionaire, who nevertheless declared bankruptcy six times, ruined so many businesses, and keeps trying to find money for his schemes that he wouldn’t need to do IF he were really a billionaire as he so loudly proclaims. He’s just a grifter, a made for reality TV con man with no other talent than to rob people of their money to float his lavish, seedy lifestyle. Of course his money sources are tainted, because what reputable above board financial institution would have anything to do with him?
I find this both interesting and depressing. I recall an expression to the effect that "the wheels of justice grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine." Wonderful, but could we please get some resolution? Moreover, supposedly, "justice delayed is justice denied." Merrick Garland, et al., where are you? Ignoring subpoenas, refusing to cooperate, delay, delay. The right wingers love to whine about crime, but completely ignore -- if not condone -- white collar crime and this general disrespect for the legal system.
Thank you for that! Naturally, no surprise here. Trump admires and emulates kleptocrats so it makes perfect sense he would align with fellow grifters tied to the great kleptocrat himself - Putin. To Trump and family, the US should be their personal piggy bank - the bank for pigs like them.

It's the Trump version of "Let's Make A Deal!"
What's behind the curtain? The same thing that's behind every curtain - Russians!
Jail to the chief. Was lock her up in 2016 a psychological projection ?

There was a massive fire in Guo Wengi’s apartment in the Sherry Netherland’s Hotel in Manhattan yesterday.

WHOA!! Thank you, Lucian for the investigative info and providing a pic of a shell bank in a strip-mall.
“The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming!” Damnit
But he's been laundering money for Russians for many years. No surprise here. Will justice ever arrive? Sadly, I doubt it. It's all so depressing.
