Default Dirty Money Everywhere

You would think Trump would have learned from the spanking he got from FINCEN over money laundering in the Trump Taj Mahal back in the 90s, but no.

A joint investigation by NBC News and Reuters has found that Donald Trump's first international hotel venture, Trump Ocean Club International Hotel and Tower in Panama, was infested with dirty money.

At the root of the exposure is a Brazilian real estate salesman named Alexandre Ventura Nogueira who currently is on the run.

Nogueira was responsible for between one-third and one-half of advance sales for the project. It also found he did business with a Colombian who was later convicted of money laundering and is now in detention in the United States; a Russian investor in the Trump project who was jailed in Israel in the 1990s for kidnap and threats to kill; and a Ukrainian investor who was arrested for alleged people-smuggling while working with Nogueira and later convicted by a Kiev court.

Ivanka Trump made a promotional video for the property in 2011 and, allegedly, was involved in day-to-day decision-making. "The Trump Organization has to approve everything because of his name on the project,” Ventura Nogueira said.
