Trump's alleged Mafia ties lost him Sydney casino bid (good AND bad people in the Mafia! FAKE! Sad).
Trump’s alleged Mafia ties lost him Sydney casino bid
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/trumps-alleged-mafia-ties-lost-him-sydney-casino-bid/
Australian authorities once rejected Donald Trump’s bid for a hotel casino in Queensland, stating such a project would be “dangerous” on account of “Trump Mafia connections,” it has emerged.
Cabinet minutes and a secret police report dated 1987 and published Wednesday as part of an investigation by the News Corporation-owned newspaper The Australian cast a dark shadow over Trump’s business reputation.
Thirty years ago, Trump had already secured his reptuation as a billionaire property tycoon from New York. He had also become the largest casino operator in Atlantic City, built a skyscraper bearing his name emblazoned in gold letters and even scored a Newsweek cover and article under the headline “Citizen Trump.”
Yet he was hungry for more. As rumors around his political ambitions began to swirl, he looked to Australia to expand his casino portfolio, making a bid for a joint venture with the Queensland-based Kern Corporation to build what would have been Sydney’s first casino, in the Darling Harbor.
