    That was a pretty stupid maneuver, agreed.

    It’s also worth noting that one of Trump’s 6 bankruptcies was from a Casino in Atlantic City. You have to be especially stupid to go bankrupt running a casino (on borrowed money of course). They’re literally rigged for profiting the owners.

      Bankrupting a casino just screams “hey we’re laundering money over here.” I think you’d have to actively sabotage a casino to make it fail.

        Yeah, money laundering has clearly been a staple of Trump’s career. What started with selling condos in trump tower to Russian oligarchs after he couldn’t borrow money from banks anymore due to his tendency to default on loans, has now turned into something much worse unfortunately.

        His latest scams with crypto just hurt to watch…hundreds of millions just stolen from his trusting followers.

        Perhaps the biggest failing of the Dems during Biden’s term (when there was still time for justice) was refusing to investigate Trump’s financial crimes and ties to Russian monied interests. They could have nailed him to the wall so easily there, but the investigation likely would have uncovered many more elites who are profiting the same way, so of course we can’t have that.

          What are the trumpers saying about losing money on his cryptosystem scams? Do they realise at that point that he’s an asshole?
