The point of shell companies is to obscure who is actually transacting business… or sometimes for tax scams.

a lot of dirty dealing for a long time.

What a crook. And all these new indictments and 91 felony charges are almost analogous to how Al Capone was finally jailed but in reverse — not for all the obvious killings and bootlegging, but for something else — tax evasion.

trump, hopefully, is going to be jailed for the most obvious and recent stuff, but the long-time dirty dealing is now exposed too. Maybe SC Smith will keep them on the back burner, just in case.

I think that the abundance of these is for less than legal reasons. But strickly an allegation on my part.

And I have a suspicion that he's been laundering money on a global scale (Putin, LIV, others).

Maybe some will come out in the upcoming trials. Barr and McConnell were trying with all their might to bury what?

I grew up in a mafia town, and recognize the pattern.

People losing tons of money claiming to be "successful billionaires".

Musk?

I didn't find any references, even on huffpost, other than this image.
