    That’s business school from a guy who ran casinos into the ground. Nice work America.

      It’s true. “Casinos,” plural. CASINOS PLURAL, EVERYBODY.

          Even worse. How does one bankrupt a Russian money laundering operation? You’d think they would do their best to keep that shit running.

            I think they intentionally go out of business before the Feds have a chance to investigate it.

              They were actually fined for undeclared foreign transactions, but it was during their bankruptcy so it got mostly ignored by history

                And you’d certainly want to keep your American fence on a tight leash for the foreseeable

              Absolutely not. Bankruptcy proceedings get your financial records gone over with a fine tooth comb. You need to keep your cover business healthy within reason to fly under the radar. You didn’t see the mob casinos going bankrupt.

          Nah, nah, nah, see “Russian money laundering operations” is the synonym for the hotels and university.

      I thought the consensus was that was money laundering?

        I found this https://www.cnn.com/2017/05/22/politics/trump-taj-mahal/index.html

        So it’s at least alleged and they paid to settle. But wouldn’t you want to keep your laundry working? Idk

          They probably figured out better ways to do it through Trump org and not have to subject themselves to casino regulator investigations.
