https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/mar/15/trump-media-investigated-possible-money-laundering#_=_'Federal prosecutors in New York involved in the criminal investigation into Donald Trumps social media company last year started examining whether it violated money laundering statutes in connection with the acceptance of $8m with suspected Russian ties...Trump Media, which owns Trumps Truth Social platform initially came under criminal investigation over its preparations for a potential merger with a blank check company called Digital World (DWAC) that was also the subject of an earlier probe by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Russian connection, as being examined by prosecutors in the US attorneys office for the southern district of New York, centers on a part-owner of Paxum Bank an individual named Anton Postolnikov, who appears to be a relation of Putin ally Aleksandr Smirnov...Prosecutors appear to have also taken a special interest in the payments because the off-shore Paxum Bank has a history of providing banking services for the pornography and sex worker industries, which makes it higher risk of engaging in money laundering and other illicit financing.'
