Adam Davidson: This is why I think Trump is doing more than tax avoidance

Interesting. I assume nothing will come of this because he's both the POTUS and rich enough to avoid complications, but it's still interesting to see how the sausage is made.

Laundering money through banks is risky. The better option is to find private sources who are their own banks and not really scrutinized to a high degree. If Trump (idiot) can do this and get away with it, I can only imagine this is a common business model for billionaires that he's simply copied.
