Who is this Roger Norman and his wife Elise that donated a combined 720k plus to the Trump Victory PAC just a month ago? It wasn't their first donations to that particular pac, but a lot more than what they've previously given.

105k 2017/2018 cycle
100k 2015/2016 cycle

Norman is an off-road race car driver and business man competing in many off-road circuit races such as the Baja series. His father Don was also a famous motorcar figure. In 2012 he purchased desert racing sanctioning body Score international.

His wife Elise Norman is the VP of SCORE

Interesting piece on what the author calls Norman's "Death races"

But Desert racing isn't all Norman does, he also runs many other business dealing in Real estate and Casino gaming. In 2003 Roger and Elise renovated and reopened the Crystal bay Casino in Lake Tahoe.

Enter the Tahoe-Reno industrial center. (TRIC)

In 1998, Norman and his partner Lance Gilman purchased the Asamera Ranch and renamed it TRIC

2018:
"About 74k acres, 115 square miles of the park east of Sparks was recently sold for about $175 million."

The reported buyer was a little known company specializing in blockchain technology. The company, Blockchain llc was formed in 2017 by attorney Jeffrey Berns.

To put the massive sale into perspective, the land purchased was 22 times the size of Tesla's Gigafactory which is also located on the TRIC

Back to Norman's biz partner, Lance Gilman who incidentally purchased the Mustang ranch brothel off of Ebay lol.

Ah, Nevada politics. 😂

"Antinoro said Gilman is out to get him because Gilman doesn't like the way he enforces the law at the brothel"

Because of this ongoing feud, Gilman, a lifelong Republican has endorsed the Dem in the Gov race against AG Adam Laxalt.

Laxalt has accused Gilman of using "extortion-like tactics" against him.

So IDK what all this means, just that a very large donation like that doesn't happen out of the blue, they must expect something in return.

And that company, Blockchain LLC deserves a whole hell of a lot more scrutiny.

With Trump's tax scam came this program called "Opportunity Zones" in which business's are offered tax credits for investing in low-income areas. A good idea on paper but with these types of crooks in power....

Case in point.

Storey country, where TRIC is located didn't initially qualify for OZ status as there are lower income counties that needed it more. Here comes Republican Gov Sandoval, Former Senator Heller, and Lance Gilman to butter up Baboon ass lips Mnuchin offering god knows what in return.

Sound like there used to be a bit of a rivalry between the now dead Dennis Hof, who's bunny ranch and other brothels are located in neighboring Lyon county and Gilman.

Suddenly I feel like I'm in a Vegas version of the Dukes of Hazzard.

Lots going on here 😂

So is this why that huge 720k donation was recently made?

Did I mention that Mnuchin is the financial chairman of the PAC that was donated to? 🙃
