BaFin to Deepen Deutsche Bank Money Laundering Investigation (Feb 2019)
www.financemagnates.com

...Deutsche Bank released a statement on Friday saying that BaFin, the German financial regulator, has extended the remit of an independent auditor examining the lender's role in the Danske Bank money laundering scandal.

The case stems from an ongoing investigation into the Danish bank's Estonian division.

After a whistle-blower sounded the alarm about the activity of certain customers, most of whom were from Russia and the former Soviet Union, in late 2018, it became apparent that Danske Bank's Tallinn-based operations were doing business with some less than scrupulous individuals.

It is alleged that the bank laundered around $225 billion from 2007 to 2014. If that is the case, it would potentially be the largest instance of money laundering ever uncovered.

Deutsche Bank falls into the mix as it acted as Danske Bank's main correspondent bank. According to the Financial Times, the German bank was responsible for facilitating $180 billion in suspicious transactions....

Deutsche Bank Offices Are Raided In Money Laundering Probe (Nov 2018)

...In recent years, Deutsche Bank has been in the news not only for its prominence in the Panama Papers, but also for its ties to President Trump, in a tumultuous relationship that goes back some 20 years.

Trump and the bank once sued each other after he failed to repay a $300 million loan. And the author and reporter Luke Harding has described a "shuffle of money" between the bank's dealings with figures in Russia and its business with Trump. ...

Boy George - Generations of Love (Oakenfold Mix) 1990

I don't know much but I know what I feel
There's too many people fighting, tied to the wheel
I don't know much but I know what I see
There's too many people crying washed out to sea

And there's much more we can say
And there's much more we can do
And there's much more we can learn
Generations of love

I don't know you but you know what I am
Hey, I don't need redemption or no government plan
No big AIDS sensation no 28 clause
The end of apartheid, no message of war

The Jew and the Gentile, the back and the gay
The lost and the futile, they've all got something to say
The African nation, the sword of Islam
The rebels in China, the Sikhs and the Tams

The house of our Father, the volumes of guilt
The luck of the Irish, the blood that we've spilt
The angels and martyrs, the lovers and saints
The sisters of mercy, the brothers of pain


Florida, which recklessly removed fluoride from public water exactly one year ago and once hosted the notorious money-wasting ICE gulag "Alligator Alcatraz," suffers appalling annual firearm casualties. In an average year 3,172 people die by guns; 63% are suicides (1,995). These are wartime casualty figures.

The Sunshine State, which recently named an airport after the morbidly obese Dummkopf Trumpf, has executed twelve death row inmates this year, more than all other US states combined.

Recently Roman Catholic-raised Gov Ron DeSatan (R) -- a double Ivy League graduate -- put to death two prisoners on the same day via lethal cocktail ("the stainless steel ride."). Quite an historic accomplishment, reminiscent of poor Sacco and Vanzetti, two Italian Catholics that were both involuntarily seated in Thomas Edison's rocking chair in a Massachusetts prison on 23 Aug 1927.

When asked about the allegations for a July 28 The New York Times article, Moreno's spokesperson said, "Senator Moreno's top priority is the safety and well-being of his daughter and granddaughter. While he will not litigate these matters in the media or respond to baseless public attacks, he will do whatever it takes to ensure a just outcome for his family."

Signorile noted that Moreno's "cowardly" lack of public support for his own daughter's claims might be to avoid hurting Miller's re-election chances, especially as recent polling has seen Miller's district trend from Republican-leaning to Democratic since the president's 2024 re-election.

However, Signorile then pointed out that court filings related to Miller's ex-wife seeking of a restraining order against him included a text message threat that Miller made to Bernie Moreno.

"I'm sick of this, you know I never hurt our daughter. Take this however you want, everyone is going to get to know you better than your wife does," Miller wrote to Bernie Moreno in the text. "Enjoy the ride brother, I wouldn't have to do this if you could keep your lying daughter under control."

While the text doesn't clearly express Miller's exact meaning, Signorile pointed out that a March 28, 2024 Associated Press report found a profile seeking "1-on-1" sexual encounters with "young guys" on the Adult Friend Finder website; the profile was created using Moreno's work email address.

"Hi, looking for young guys to have fun with while traveling," the profile said, alongside its username, "nardo19672," which seemingly referenced Moreno's full first name, Bernardo, and his birth year and month. The profile also listed his full date of birth but didn't include a photo. Geolocation data showed that it was set up from an internet address in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where Moreno's parents owned a home in 2008. The profile reportedly stayed unused six hours after it was created over 15 years ago, but its data became accessible through a massive website leak in 2016.
