Trump’s Russian Laundromat
"How to use Trump Tower and other luxury high-rises to clean dirty money, run an international crime syndicate, and propel a failed real estate developer into the White House."
Excellent long-form article connecting many, many, many dots in the Trump conspiracy.
I'm pretty sure I don't want to read this myself because I don't want to devote any more of my precious time or energy to such a person, however, I believe others I know would find the piece interesting, so I've got a real conundrum regarding sharing your link.
@Euphoria My view on much of this is that _structural_ information -- information that provides a framework for understanding the world -- is hugely useful. That's a key element of science.
What this piece does is to establish the _structure_ of how finance, underworld crime, money-laundering, leverage, and politics combine to create a bomb. Understanding how Trump was created, in the anonymous, we-don't-care-what-his-name-is sense, is useful for predicting future risks.
I absolutely agree, which is why I thought it could be valuable to share the link, even while I am not involved in *anything* *whatsoever* that could possibly contribute to elevating a megalomaniac, or to support one in any way.
