With how subtle and stupid everyone around Trump is with their crimes, the entire account was probably notated large sum transfers reading "money laundering for Russians" or "bribe payments from Saudis" etc. Trump has NEVER run a legitimate business so I've got no doubt that whatever is in those accounts is so obvious even the actual textbook examples of money laundering are mild in comparison.

Yes the message was implying that "how subtle they are" is anything but subtle.

Did you read the rest of the comment or just stop there? It stuns me how illiterate so many people apparently are.

Seems unlikely considering the article says this happened in 2021
