Rudy said that Trump paid Cohen back "OVER SEVERAL MONTHS". That could indicate "structuring": making withdrawals in amounts of under $10,000 so the transactions don't get reported (this is the tactic that got Eliot Spitzer in trouble).

Retainers do not usually work that way, from what I've seen, but ya play the cards ya got.
The interesting bit, IMO, is the bill for $129,999.27 (or whatever) from the Trump O to the Trump Campaign.
