Interesting look at building creating so much inconvenience. I'm not sure which is more distasteful - the unsavory characters there, or the way Trump is ripping us off for $130,000 a month(!) in rents.

TRUMP TOWER’S MURKY HISTORY AND MURKIER FUTURE:
SLUMPING SALES, PENTAGON LEASES, AND SHADOWY L.L.C.S
Once home to celebrities, apartments in Trump Tower are now frequently owned by shadowy L.L.C.s—and even a few criminals.

By Suzanna Andrews

Another resident is Vadim Trincher, a Russian who pleaded guilty in 2013 to money-laundering and to having run an international gambling ring with a Russian crime lord that, according to prosecutors, laundered some $100 million... Hillel Nahmad, the art dealer who spent 17 years buying up the entire 51st floor of Trump Tower (at an estimated cost of $18.4 million), served five months in prison in 2014 for running a gambling ring out of his Trump Tower home. Susetta Mion, an Italian heiress, is alleged in a lawsuit filed by her niece to have stolen her dying mother’s $15 million fortune in 2007.

As much as I detest Trump, this is happening everywhere in NYC real estate industry. I cannot understand why both the state and federal government allow LLCs to serve as vehicles to launder money or to mask suspicious transactions.
