business dealing that was perfectly legal in 2008 (it's still legal to sell and own property in this country, right?).


This is tinfoil level shite.

The property was listed for sale by Trump at $125M and sold for $95M in 2008. The lot has been subsequently divided into three and one of the lots sold for $48M (if I remember correctly).

So long as the real estate deals were arms length and not rearranging eggs in the carton, Trump is in the clear. Additionally, so long as the sale was within reasonable market valuation levels, it's no big deal. So long as the Russian does not pay 250 million for a property listed at 125 million it's all pretty good. The Russian paid 95 million...good deal.

If there were some shenanigans at play it's more on the issuing bank and the Treasury Department at the time than on Trump and any of his business entities.

I have a property that I want to sell for 100.00. The buyer says I will pay you 90.00 for it cash. Buyer says sure. Buyer writes a check for 90.00. The check clears, no big deal. As the seller it is not my responsibility on a cash deal to examine the means by which a buyer obtained the funds.

If the issuing bank (Russian) later gets in trouble for money laundering, it's not the sellers problem .
