I'm actually more interested in this than the inflation/deflation of asset values, because it raises the question of why Putin would underwrite such risky loans. Was he literally guaranteeing Trump's debt? Was this repayment for the fact that Trump allowed billions of Russian dollars to be laundered into Trump properties? This could point directly to money laundering, the Rosetta stone some of us have been hoping to uncover.
Trump Deutsche Bank Loans Underwritten By Russian State-Owned Bank, Whistleblower Told FBI
Deutsche Bank’s loans to Donald Trump were underwritten by Russian state-owned VTB Bank, according to the whistleblower whose collection of thousands of bank documents and internal communications have captured the recent attention of federal investigators.
Val Broeksmit acquired the emails and files of his late father, Deutsche Bank executive William S. Broeksmit, after Broeksmit tragically took his own life in 2014.
Val informed the FBI in late 2019 about his knowledge of VTB’s underwriting of Trump’s loans, information he attributed to a network of sources connected to the bank he cultivated over the past five-plus years.
Underwriting is the process where financial institutions assess the ability of potential customers to fulfill their obligations. Underwriters have access to “credit and financial information, as well as the state of the [property],” according to US News, though underwriters can sometimes be unknown to the person seeking the loan.
