Bit of a Streisand effect going on here. I had never heard of this guy or the allegations against him until you posted this link. Further I might have been able to accept that the story was just internet garbage, except that now there is a judge who “ruled that story had been accurately reported.” When will people learn. ---

The Scottish government is being pressed to proceed with an investigation into where the money came from to buy Agent Orange’s two Scottish golf courses: [https://www.reuters.com/business/legal/exclusive-court-action-seeks-probe-trumps-scottish-golf-course-buys-2021-05-24/](https://www.reuters.com/business/legal/exclusive-court-action-seeks-probe-trumps-scottish-golf-course-buys-2021-05-24/) > Avaaz, a global human rights group, filed a petition in Scotland’s highest civil court seeking a judicial review of the government’s decision not to pursue an “unexplained wealth order” on Trump’s business. In February, Parliament voted 89-to-32 against the motion, which was brought by the minority Scottish Green Party would have sought details on the source of the money the Trump Organization used to buy the courses in 2006 and 2014. > Trump, after decades of buying properties with debt, spent more than $300 million in cash purchasing and developing the Scottish courses, neither of which has turned a profit. > The British government introduced unexplained wealth orders in 2018 to help authorities fight money laundering and target the illicit wealth of foreign officials. The orders do not trigger a criminal proceeding. But if the Trump Organization couldn’t satisfy the court that the money was clean, the government, in theory, could seize the properties. ---

The grand jury has all of the tax forms, too. I’m going to go out on a limb and predict about a dozen different fraud charges, with at least 6 people get named and indicted. ---
