This is why oversight is necessary.
I assume you are Trumps CFO!

Something's changed.
The higher the value the more likely cash buyers will use a LLC or trust to buy property especially in NY.

Without knowing the number of units sold and their values it's unreasonable to draw a conclusion.

Having said this, there has been no shortage of notorious characters who have purchased units from Trump Org over the years, including dictators, ex cons, Saudi Royal Kingdom family members, Russians and some on the run and so on.

This is life at the super high end.

Republicans spent more than $2 billion over 2 election cycles to defeat Obama. One would think if there was any truth to birther claims, it would have surfaced and he would have been disqualified to run for POTUS.

Obviously it's challenging to give up a conspiracy theory. Use Trump as inspiration. He let go of his birther claims to avoid the appearance of being an obvious looney tune.

Obama's records were never sealed.

Eight Years of Trolling Obama - FactCheck.org

Republicans spent more than $2 billion to attempt to defeat Obama over 2 election cycles and failed. If there was any truth to birther claims it would have surfaced and disqualified him.

Trump, the celebrity face of the birther movement, gave it up so as not to appear to be a ranking member of the looney bin.

In contrast, Trump repeatedly promised to release his tax returns and then decided not to do so. The return is useless. The devil is in the detailed attachments. Trump entered office with unprecidented conflicts of interest. While he put his stuff in trust, he is the sole beneficiary of those trusts.

I love that these two posts are right beside each other.

I rearranged the sequence for you, though.

Yes, he became President... and Hollywood celebrities (and others) do not want to be black-listed for doing business with him.

Oh really? You make a comment like that and then follow it up with casting yet another aspersion about Obama's birth certificate. Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black to me.

Communists and terrorists attacked us on 9/11. You trumpettes hated the fact that in the name of national security you had to accept some inconveniences. Worse for you the Brown and black minorities you despised rallied around the flag in order to help avenge 9/11. Later on a black man was elected. So you created and embraced the LIE (not the birtherism which itself was a lie, that was the distraction) that Jews and the US government did 9/11, which was the only way your worldview could sustain itself after the events of the previous decade. After all if 9/11 was an inside job than those patriotic blacks and hispanics and urban and suburbanites who enlisted after the attacks become dupes not patriots. Trumpers are disgusting only a psychopath would blame the victims of the growing WW3 of starting it rather than the perpetrators. Not Trumpers align themselves with the gathering enemies who masterminded the attacks and acts of war against america: China, Russia, North Korea, Iran and Saudi Arabia. You Trumpettes are traitors who sided with the aggressors of 9/11 rather than with the population of fellow Americans who were attacked that day.

Sounds like money laundering to me.
How about Hillary and Bill selling 20% of our uranium to Russia?
