🚨 Follow the money: new chart & article on "Trump’s Two Largest Creditors — Ladder Capital Finance & Deutsche Bank" - the main stream media has barely reported on Ladder Capital, so I have
medium.com/@wsiegelman/tr…
With news today that Mueller has subpoenaed records from Trump creditor Deutsche Bank, below are a few highlights from my research on Deutsche and Trump's other large credtor Ladder Capital Finance - THREAD /1
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Deutsche Bank - estimated $320 million in loans on 3 properties: data from Trump's June 2017 financial disclosure form and estimate based on full loan amounts reported in the news /2
medium.com/@wsiegelman/tr…
Ladder Capital Finance - estimated $282 million in loans on 4 properties: data from Trump's June 2017 financial disclosure form and estimate based on most recent full loan amounts in NYC ACRIS property record database /3
medium.com/@wsiegelman/tr…
Earlier this year, Ladder Capital was in discussions to sell the firm, instead in Feb 2017 the Related Companies bought $80 million in Ladder stock and is now a significant owner of one of Trump's largest creditors /4
medium.com/@wsiegelman/tr…
The investment by Related in Trump creditor Ladder is significant because Related Group Chairman Jorge Pérez has been a long-time friend and ex-business partner of Trump, and there's currently a Fed investigation of Related in Southern Florida /5
miamiherald.com/news/local/com…
Stephen Ross, chairman & founder of Related Companies, which now owns part of Trump creditor Ladder Capital Finance, has been a client of Rosemary Vrablic a senior banker at Deutsche Bank, who counts Trump and Jared Kushner as customers /6
medium.com/@wsiegelman/tr…
Trump met Deutsche Bank's Rosemary Vrablic while he was suing Deutsche on repayment terms for $40 million loan on Trump International Hotel and Tower Chicago, where Treasury Sect Steve Mnuchin's Dune Capital was also a Trump creditor /7
medium.com/@wsiegelman/tr…
Deutsche's Rosemary Vrablic arranged loans for Trump & prior to election, Deutsche funded $285 million for Jared Kushner to refinance loan on part of former NYT building bought from Lev Leviev whose company AFI is involved in Prevezon $ laundering case /8
medium.com/@wsiegelman/tr…
Jared Kushner also received $371 million loan from Ladder Capital spin off Beech Street to invest in Maryland apartments, where Kushner Companies Westminster Management is now subject of a tenant lawsuit /9 baltimoresun.com/business/real-…
In the banking & real estate world, there are overlapping connections among people/companies, none of those in my chart are evidence of any wrongdoing - but are worthy of review, especially where conflicts of interests may arise /END

Great finds by @mrspanstreppon in this thread - Trump CFO Allen Weisselberg's son Jack Weisselberg is Exec Director at Ladder Capital, Trump's 2nd largest creditor
identified that Ladder Capital's mortgage to Trump for 40 Wall Street building was assigned to Wells Fargo Bank - and Trump & Mulvaney at CFPB are now reassessing settlement terms with Wells Fargo

Two stories today about UAE selling off two huge NYC real estate investments

One story is about Abu Dhabi government fund & Tishman Speyer putting the Chrysler Building on the market - Abu Dhabi Investment Council had paid $800 million for a 90% stake
therealdeal.com/2019/01/09/abu…
And a majority stake in 330 Madison Ave owned by the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is heading to the sales market at pricing expected to reach nearly $1 billion
nypost.com/2019/01/08/mos…
I don't know that these two sales have any significance, but the size of the deals seems notable and worth keeping an eye on.

The memo also indicated thatover half of the almost 22 million comments came from phony, temporary, or duplicate email addresses, and reportedly only 17.4% of the comments were unique.
Pai also rejected two Freedom of Information Act requests filed byNYT and BuzzFeed, seeking “IP addresses” and “server logs,” respectively, associated with public comments submitted on net neutrality. @theweeklylist.org

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

1. One under-investigated factor in weaponised Russian sponsored propaganda during #Brexit and #Trump is the transfer of cash to propagandists via the various botnets controlled by Putin allies.
2. Twitter and Facebook have (reluctantly) revealed the accounts they know were paid for by the Internet Research Agency, Olgino, Petersburg. But we can expect there to be many more
3. There are reported to be several troll farms in Russia. There are also reports of paid trolls in Romania and Bulgaria. And of course there are countless fake news sites in the US and UK. But how are they paid for?
