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)
www.npr.org

...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. ...

"Is it likely, or possible, that those tapes, and/or transcripts of them, are subpoenaed as evidence as some point?"

By who...trump's DOJ???

LOL!!!

Turds of a feather sink together.

I wonder what poor country Lewzer is going to drop a nuclear weapon on to try to dislodge this Epstein albatross? Cancelling Colbert didn't seem to do it.

The fact remains that Trump and Epstein hoaxed 13 year olds together.

Lewzer doesn't share. He kicked Epstein out of Mar A Lago when he was after the same one.

Ms. Maxwell had better sleep with one eye open, stay away from windows and not take boat rides (like her father did)...

JD Vance condemned Trump over Epstein Files

www.youtube.com

also includes evidence that there are SO many mentions of Trump that agents are told to use spreadsheets

Trump love raping children.

Anyone who still supports him has decided they're fine with children being raped.

Remember when Conservatives used to pretend drag queens reading to children was grooming.

Then all the evidence of Trump raping children became common knowledge but republicans haven't made a peep.

Seems like raping children was never the issue.

They're setting King Dotard up to take the fall, then they'll move in to the White House and complete the job.

"They're setting King Dotard up to take the fall, then they'll move in to the White House and complete the job."

I guess there are no age limits for couches, so JD is safe.

Where all Jeff's sock puppets at?

Yurking off to child pornography.

Pam Bondi is on videotape saying there was a client list on her desk.
Literally.
So where's that list?
"There's a client list on my desk ... no, uh, wait, sorry, no client list."
You helplessly hapless MAGAts good to go with that?
Really?
Guess Trump's sheet don't steenk, either

Man if only you guys had pumped this bs story back in 2024 you might have had a shot with Kamala. So sad

BlueWaffles supports pedophilia and no one is surprised.

The azul waffler isn't fazed.
MAGAts just aren't, as a group.
They cling to the object of their adulation.
Like pond scum.

Sorry Doc, we're too busy winning to care. If you guys want to cling to a story that has zero merit or proof be my guest. Much like the Pete Hegseth was getting fired headline from a few months back.

My new favorite game is scrolling through the comments to find the first Trumper comment and see how stupid it is without any context.

--------- didn't disappoint.

Sorry Doc, we're too busy winning to care.

Sorry Blue.

When fascism wins, we all lose.

The only thing you're enjoying is seeing what your hate does to the lives of other human beings.

I'd say you're a garbage human being. But that's pretty obvious.

So I'll just say, ---- you, Nazi.

-When fascism wins, we all lose.

well....not all of us.

Clown you're reaching Legally and Zed levels there dude.

Pam Bondi is on videotape saying there was a client list on her desk.

"Pam Bondi came up to me, tears in her eyes. She said, Sir, I reviewed the Epstein files like you asked, and I forgive you for all the horrible things they say you did. But I can't release the files to the public like you wanted to, because I accidentally fed them to my rabbit."

~Lewzer

Ah, yes... a Traitor in the WH is 'winning' to his Cult.

One must suppose that had BlueWaffen been in Trump's DoJ he would have signed the Electoral Ballot letter to States allowing them to change Biden to Trump that the others refused to sign... and then not have testified to his crimes as the other Trump appointees did under Oath.

Speaker Moses says he won't bring a vote for a non-binding resolution on Epstein up for a vote bc Trump needs some "space" to deal with his pedophile problem.

" ... we're too busy winning to care"

And that, folks, is the sound of hubris.
No student of history you.

"Sorry Doc, we're too busy winning to care. If you guys want to cling to a story that has zero merit or proof be my guest. Much like the Pete Hegseth was getting fired headline from a few months back."

To modify the "OK boomer" meme.

@#36 ... Clown you're reaching Legally and Zed levels there dude. ...

Murray Head - One Night In Bangkok (1984)

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
[Verse 1: Murray Head]
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know what the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner

Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean Spa had the chess boys in it
All change -- don't you know that when you
Play at this level there's no ordinary venue?
It's Iceland -- or the Philippines -- or Hastings -- or--
Or this place!

[Chorus: Anders Glenmark]
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel slidin' up to me
