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.

In the late 1990's, early 2000's, it seemed that citizen Trump had blown through his final inheritance. In spite of that, he apparently came up with 100's of millions of $$$ from somewhere (or someone?) to build golf courses in Scotland and buy another one.
It was reported that he ultimately spent 100's of millions of dollars on those golf courses.
But where did all that money come from?

[Verse 1]
I might be movin' to Montana soon
Just to raise me up a crop of dental floss
Raisin' it up, waxin' it down
In a little white box that I can sell uptown
By myself, I wouldn't have no boss
But I'd be raisin' my lonely dental floss

Happy?

She met Donald Trump in 1998 and they were married in 2005.
So what do we know about how Melania Trump came to the United States?
