Let's talk about a BANK. A BANK which had/has Ivanka Trump (MOB), Al D'Amato (MOB), and Barney Frank (sorry, also MOB) as board members.
A BANK which is tied to the Kushners (MOB). A BANK that just charged off $129M in TAXI LOANS (mob) in April 2018.
What BANK?
Signature Bank.

"transactions totaling more than $150M began in late 2014-early 2015 & included sales prices well above the assessed value of the parcels, as well as hi-risk loans that experts said raise 🚩. At center of each deal is either Jared Kushner or Michael Cohen"

"Interactions between Signature Bank and Cohen and Kushner did not end with the cycle of property sales in 2014 and 2015. Cohen appears to have used his real estate investments to generate extra cash from Signature Bank last year, according to state records."

Next up: Taxi loans. Taxi Medallion biz in NYC = MOB AF (see: Gene Freidman, the "Taxi King" and ex-biz partner of Michael Cohen for proof).

Oh look, a Ponzi scheme.
"The cozy relationship Signature had with the money manager [William Landberg] and his now-bankrupt investment firm [West End Financial Advisors] helped advance the scheme, according to the lawsuit."
