Value, income type, income sections are blank

Here's Trump's 2019 OGE showing Part 6 #8 MBWTLLC

extapps2.oge.gov/201/Presiden.n…

And the 2018 form without it
oge.app.box.com/v/Trump2018Ann…
There are 3 companies with similar names on OpenCorporates

MBWT, LLC incorporated in Delaware June 13, 2018

MBWT, LLC in Slovenia with the same address as the DE co

The 3rd one created in 2005 likely not related

There's a mystery $50mil debt related to Trump Int'l Hotel & Tower Chicago

I found SEC filings related to $130mil mezzanine loan on TIHT Chicago from before loan was paid off that may shed light on the loan (but may not tie to $50mil debt mystery) /thread
Both @russchoma @Fahrenthold have reported extensively on a mystery $50 million debt on Trump’s financial disclosure for Chicago Unit Acquisition LLC and in 2016
@susannecraig reported that Trump said the $ was a loan he purchased back from several banks
nytimes.com/2016/05/24/bus…
@russchoma @Fahrenthold @susannecraig A 2008 WSJ article described a $640 million senior construction loan from Deutsche Bank for Trump Int’l Hotel & Tower Chicago and $130 million mezzanine loan from group led by Fortress that had a steep $50 mil exit fee and could cost $360mil with interest

#Russia's state TV sets out to disprove the Kremlin's involvement in the #YellowVests protests by asserting that Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeev is "not linked to the government" and bringing on Xavier Moreau— the founder of the Kremlin's propaganda outlet in #France. ©️
Moreau says he is proud to be a citizen of the greatest country in the world [he is a dual citizen of France and Russia] takes the flag of "DPR" [Russia's fake "republic" in #Ukraine] out of his pocket, says he wouldn't mind if the Kremlin sent him money [then adds it's a joke].

#Russia-n mercenaries are now showing up everywhere in #Africa: one country in particular is the #CAR where Russians are also providing weapons. Also present in the #Niger Delta of #Nigeria actually helping the rebels that target the western oil companies. bit.ly/2KkU0OD
Fascinating story on how #Russia entered the #CAR. It was blocking a delivery of weapons from #France to #Bangui so #Macron told CAR President to go and convince Russia to unblock the sale. Instead Russia saw an opportunity to sell its own weapons to CAR. bit.ly/2rj8kyH
3 #Russian journalists killed in #CAR while filming #Wagner, the private military firm run by Evgeny #Prigozhin used especially in #Syria, part of #Putin's inner circle. Documentary was part of @tzurrealism, supported by Mikhail #Khodorkovsky.

#Russia's really going for it at UNSC today: Amb. Nebenzia going all-out tinfoil hat, contradicting himself in rapid time.

- In the space of seconds, he says (1) the #Douma incident was a false-flag chemical attack by rebels & then says (2) there was no chemical attack at all.
U.S. Amb. to UN @nikkihaley:

- I could hold up pictures of babies lying dead next to their mothers, in their diapers, all lying together, dead, ashen blue, open eyes & lifeless, white foam bubbling from their mouths & noses… the very definition of innocent, hiding in basements.
U.S. Amb. to UN @nikkihaley:

"Who does this? Only a monster does this… the monsters behind this have no conscience… the Russian regime is covered in the blood of innocent children.

#Russia & #Iran are to blame… [but] what’s the point in trying to shame these people?

#Bitcoin's off chain layer 2 is what makes it adaptable to nearly anything the free market can think of.

Bitcoin's decentralization on layer 1 is what ensures it's a "free" market.
Altcoins and ICO tokens are relatively centralized, and as a result are less free and adaptable.
Thanks to #bitcoin's relative decentralization and resulting freedom, its adoption is higher and it's ecosystem more vibrant.

🗽(1) Hello @SenFeinstein @AdamSchiffCA today you released a chilling letter attempting to bully @twitter into releasing private info but you didn’t publish that #twitter already told you #releasethememo IS NOT RUSSIAN more importantly they again offered to review the source.
(2) The source you two have now referenced twice and that every single article about #russiabots uses is #Hamilton68 sponsored by the German Marshall Fund (GMF)and Alliance for Securing Democracy, why didn’t you write them a letter? #Releasethememo
(3) It would certainly be very easy for either of you to approach the President of #GMF she worked for the Obama admin for four years, she’s quite involved with #Ukraine (see #Schiff largest supporter) her husband well connected in #California #releasethememo
