Interesting item on Trump debt

Trump owes Ladder Capital approx $257 million for 4 loans in NYC (of that $138mil for 40 Wall is assigned to Well Fargo)

In May Ladder announced agreement with Koch Real Estate Investments LLC for $206.4 million financing

businesswire.com/news/home/2020…
As part of the strategic financing agreement, Koch has the right to make a $32 million equity investment in the Company at any time prior to December 31, 2020

businesswire.com/news/home/2020…
Ladder Capital also completed a private CLO with Goldman Sachs and raised $310.2 million of gross proceeds to finance $481.3 million of loans

A CLO, collateralized loan obligation, is a security backed by a pool of debt - the investors are not known

businesswire.com/news/home/2020…
As far as I know $206.4 million financing from Koch Real Estate Investment (affiliate of Koch Industries) for Ladder Capital is their first deal together

And Ladder also raised approx $300mil in a private CLO handled by Goldman from unknown investors 🤔

businesswire.com/news/home/2020…
An update on my chart of Trump's largest creditors - since published Dec 2017, Trump paid down approx $25 mil on Ladder loans

In 2017 Trump owed approx $282mil to Ladder, now loans are approx $257 mil (he paid $22mil on 40 Wall and a bit on other loans)

The updated Trump loan amounts for Ladder are based on this excellent article from @DanAlexander21 which notes that Trump paid down 40 Wall St loan from $160 to $138 million

In March @JustinElliott revealed Bannon partner Guo Wengui's jet tail # was T7-GQM

Similarly named Genetechma Finance Ltd is owned by Russian bank VEB
Guo Wengui's plane T7-GQM remarks list Genetchma Finance Limited in Hong Kong

Genetechma (spelled with additional 'e') Finance is in Cyprus and ultimately owned by Russia's VEB bank

It's not known if they are the same company or what connection Genetchma has to Guo Wengui plane
.@MacFinn44 also found that Genetechma Finance Limited is associated with one other plane M-HAWK.

Remember the 'mystery' state-owned bank that Mueller was investigating?

It was an Egyptian state-owned bank

Mueller team was trying to see if $ flowing through the bank backed millions Trump donated to his campaign

By @kpolantz @evanperez @jeremyherb

I have to eat crow for joining the wild guessing game

Wonder if folks on the Mueller team were amused at the twitter speculation - and how far off base everyone was

Mueller's team tried to understand the $10 million contribution Trump gave his campaign 11 days before the 2016 election & the Trump campaign's ties to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi

At a 2019 G7 summit Trump said "Where's my favorite dictator?"

Russian GRU targeted Burisma and subsidaries such as Kub-Gas, co-owned by Burisma & Cub Energy, which is majority owned by Robert Bensh's Pelicourt

Trump's ex Energy Sect Perry suggested Burisma biz partner Bensh for Naftogaz board & he joined this year

Maybe MSM journalists can ask Trump admin why a business partner with Burisma was suggested to join Naftogaz board if associating with Burisma is so problematic...

I heard Robert Bensh was appointed in March 2020 through @ktskts11
