I'm convinced the casino bankruptcies were just a way to launder money and abuse the system. There's probably a few hundred contractors that never got paid while he benefited from their work long enough to make profit out of it.

He could have been working with Epstein far sooner than we think with his schemes to launder money and smuggle arms.

Four casinos actually. Six if you count the two that got bankrupted twice.

Money laundering.

The financial success or failure of the casinos was a by product of laundering huge amounts of money through them.

The joke of it was how he came out ahead on several of them. Trump discovered you can borrow other people's money for a project and, if it doesn't pan out, just keep a chunk for yourself and don't pay them back.

He's an IRL Max Bialystock, vacuuming up dumb money and leaving legions of broke dowagers in his wake.

Bialystock at least preyed on unusually old women, and it was consensual.
