What's the most plausible reason?
ETA: After re-reading articles about the project, it looks like this was all a pipe dream of Sater and Cohen. While a few oligarchs seemed to play along, I doubt it ever got very far up the food chain there.
Cohen was clearly motivated by a desire to impress his idol Trump.
Sater... It almost feels like he was somehow trying to set up Trump. Either that or just his hubris and greed motivated him.
Trump of course knew all about it as evidenced by him signing the LOI on October 28, 2015.
Turns out Trump's own big mouth tanked the whole thing:
