This doesn't look suspicious in the slightest

Let's talk about Trump's tax returns for a moment.
Trump deals with Deutsche Bank, which in recent years has had an unusual problem.

It seems that this isn't the only unusual thing at Deutsche Bank.

Congress is investigating Trump's finances and attempting to get hold of his tax returns from Deutsche. But the bank told the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals that it did not hold them.

David Enrich, finance editor at The New York Times, posted to Twitter a screenshot of his conversation with the unnamed executive in which they expressed surprise that Deutsche told a federal appeals court it did not have the president's tax returns anymore.

"Holy f**k," the executive wrote, per the screenshot. "The circumstance could be that they returned any physical copies or destroyed any physical copies under an agreement with a client and cleansed their servers. Not normal though."

It's perfectly normal and not suspicious for a bank to scrub their servers and burn their paperwork of all traces of tax information for a major client. They did it to make sure that no one suspected that anything illegal was going on.

By "demonizing" Trump I'm proving that I'm a "CIA asset".

Or so I've been told

There are major clients and then there are MAJOR clients. Not being a multi-billionaire myself, my expectation would be that they are treated much more differently than the average multi-millionaire.

It doesn't surprise me one bit. In fact I would be shocked if the reverse was true.

@Anja Geitz
that I'll accomplish nothing by saying that corrupt people tend to do corrupt things, so I'll just say, you are right. "Banker corruption has nothing to do with Banker 'suicides'".
And let it be at that.
I messed up.

@gjohnsit If DB has removed Trump's tax return info I would bet his isn't the only tax return info they may have gotten rid of. Obviously that bank is in serious trouble, and there have been those rumors, to be charitable, about money laundering for nefarious characters of all stripes. Could be Trump had reportable dealings with someone that DB would rather not acknowledge a relationship with? Purely speculating here, but if all those suicides knew things about just who DB deals with, then they aren't only related to Trump but a pattern of behavior. Things that make you go hmmmm....

I also noticed made a typo. Instead of writing "bankers", I wrote "bakers", which makes sense in my brain these days since I've been watching back to back episodes of "The Great British Bake Off". Lol.

@Anja Geitz Deutche Bank is in deep trouble financially. Rumors are they will be the first financial institution to go insolvent due to the current geo-financial situation.

My guess is that Trump is keeping the regulatory dogs at bay in exchange for a few favors. What's that called again when you exchange favors? It's been so long since I heard the term.

F the F'n D's

I also wonder if Trump wasn’t president, would his finances be so scrutinized? From what I’ve read, idea that something was rotten in Denmark has been out there since like the 80s, it’s just outside of a few reporters, no one cared. Don’t misunderstand me. I have no doubt his finances are completely rotten. I’m just fatigued on “right thing, wrong reason” with this one.
