Transnational organized crime profits off human misery: addiction, terrorism (those who purchase their arms), ravaged nations (theft of natural resources), etc.
To realize their profits, mobsters need money-launderers (what good is all that bloodshed, if you can't spend your💰?).
2/ The "layering" of money-laundering is actually a roadmap to institutions that support the money-launderer-in-chief.
They are also the avenues thru which Putin's mafia accesses & exerts influence over Americans: hedge funds, non-profits (ex. NRA, mega churches), SV tech, etc.
3/ But that final piece in the laundering process is the jewel: luxury real estate.
Mobsters can go from their inter-connected offshore LLCs directly to real estate, where they have an enterprise - a "brand" - fully in the pocket.
Purchase a condo via concealed ownership LLC...
4/... & *POOF* - the profits from trafficking children are simultaneously washed clean and in US markets.
This can be replicated in markets around the world, where the crime syndicate has control over a global real estate brand.
It's that simple.
5/ And the folks behind the global real estate brand - the LAUNDERERS, what do they get?
A cut of the profits, of course.
That's right. Real estate companies that launder money 4 organized crime profit off human misery - off the crimes behind that money.
6/ "River of Blood" indeed.

7/ Protecting Mueller is paramount. Let there be no doubt, he is tearing down a global crime syndicate.

8/ And he's not alone.

9/ It will all come out.
And there will be no shelter for any co-conspirators. Not in offshore LLCs. Not in hedge funds. Not in non-profits. Not behind a news desk or NDA. Not in a crypto currency payment or signal chat.
You're in any of those w/ this syndicate, & you're f*cked.
