What are we getting in exchange for the having the leader of the free world deliver a genocidal and isolated dictator a priceless political/PR victory -- putting him on equal footing with the United States? https://t.co/WldYWjLorT

This reminds me that there have been a variety of attempts to look into the use of shell corporations by Trump Org. But this is a well protected area of business law. The offshore banks who do that sort of thing are only exposed if money laundering reaches such a scale that the chain of ownership is revealed.

In your experience in corporate finance, was this method of hiding wealth something "everybody" did or a playground for outliers?

Yeah.

Yeah.

1. Decrease your income by depositing receipts elsewhere, away,

2.Taxes eliminated, but then how do you pay the creditors- and your book keeper?

3.So replace the missing cash with opaque loans . low interest because secured ,back to back , by those offshore funds .

There's no such thing as operating year after year at a loss.

If I understand you correctly

If I understand you correctly, the generally adopted methods of cheating on taxes at the time were designed to avoid the stifling of credit.

So this was something else. And some banks saw it as an opportunity.

We need the taxes to see if

We need the taxes to see if he is being supported by dubious financial institutions or foreign governments. The idea that losing $1 billion is a wise tax avoidance strategy is insane. He would have made a profit leaving the money untouched in a savings account or investing in other corporations.

I agree with every word about Trump' s character but go tilt about his ability to operate that long with the losses reported in the Times. Since he lies on everything else why think he told the truth to the IRS?

Trump is a horrible

Trump is a horrible businessman. His business losses are historic. His supporters will still stand by his side. They do not care that he lies. We are nearing a Constitutional crisis. If the courts do not support the attempted oversight by Congress, the crisis will be punching us in the face. Some Trump supporters may realize that they are supporting a con man, but most will not. Democrats will have to mobilize other Democrats and Independents to vote Trump out of office. The bulk of the Republican Party has joined the cult.
