It’s weird how this is surprising. His shoes, his NFTs, all traces through Wyoming corporations set up to launder money.
Basically. If you want to start a number of Shell companies that all report to each other so money can disappear, do it in Wyoming, they don’t give a fuck, and that’s what Trump did.
I wonder how that will change with the upcoming January deadline for companies filed under a registered agent having to file a BOI report to disclose their controlling interests.
If he's president by then it won't matter.
Which is why rich people really want Trump to win.
Is this a state or federal law? I’m super interested it, and would love a link to where it’s being described
Thanks! Hopefully this will make a difference. I suspect what happens in November will be the catalyst on this one
If it’s so plain and simple why can’t they stop this kind of advantage taking? Why isn’t it investigated deeper and exposed?
Criminal investigations take years and often aren't announced publicly (otherwise evidence gets destroyed). Sometimes they target investigations too to make justice move faster (and at first only pursue the strongest case)
Don't be surprised if it is.
His biggest issue at the moment is that he no longer has as many friends in powerful places (similar to the mafia), and he keeps abusing people . If you're going to be a criminal, you can't abuse 50% of the population and threaten a dictatorship or they'll be more likely to pursue

This Trump character sounds like he might be involved in shady business dealings!
The more I learn about that guy, the more I don't care for him.
Some were saying that decades ago. Some still haven't crossed that line, for some reason.
My grandma had that dude sniffed out in the 1900s

It should come as no surprise that nothing was legitimate about that entire scheme.
It’s all legitimate. That’s the issue. Wyoming doesn’t give a fuck. You can set up hundreds of llc’s in Wyoming that only just connect back to each other or shady law firms. The law firms take their money. Wyoming takes their money. And the rest of the money disappears

The words "derelict", "strip" and "mall" really sum him up perfectly. So it sounds like he found the perfect match for his needs.
Please don't connect the words "Trump" and "strip" like that.
Haha, yeah it does create some horrible mental images, doesn't it!
I imagine him falling from a pole and breaking his neck on a first try. Makes it bearable.

I did some digging into the shoe company when they came out and found out Wyoming is probably the LLC Capitol of the country. Apparently they have very lax registration laws and Andrew Pierce seems to do a lot of them. His company handled the shoe business and likely the watches.
I also happened upon a list of registered businesses 23Q3 file is 3258 pages. I believe this list only contains new businesses registered that quarter but am not certain.
Nah these shits are probably cheap chinese watches the wyoming company mass ordered.
Yeah, read the summary, there is no watch company in Wyoming, it's just a front.
They don't even look like real gold. It looks like a fake Rolex from the streets of Manhattan. 🤣
A man whose presidential bid is simply a grift for money having a decent chance at winning is very fitting for the US.
No surprise. Dude is nothing but a con man and if you see anything but a con man then you are stupid.
so what is the point of "registering" a business if the address it obviously bogus?
If the goal is, let's say money laundering, it's harder to track you down.
oh I get the point in lying about your location of course. in other words what I'm asking is why have business registration at all if it's so easy to lie?
Mainly because at the moment, he’s still under the whim of the FBI who he basically wants to disband. Once he’s in power he can dismantle any government agency that would fight his corruption, and then there’s no need for Shell companies
Oh, the why was directed at the other side. My bad.

Worth a read, no idea how legit this info is - https://calibercorner.com/trump-watches-caliber-tx07/.
I don't know if it's my cynical eyes, but the side by side image comparison is... striking. The parts in Trump's watch look much cheaper, and there seem to be fewer mechanical pieces. I know nothing about watches so I have no idea if I'm making sense or taking out of where the sun don't shine.
Hey buddy... wanna buy a watch?
Literally laundering money to his campaign. Nothing will happen.
Those watches, if any of them even actually ship, are guaranteed to be straight from Aliexpress.

Con man gonna con.
A lobbying firm that represents Montenegro’s government is also based at the Wyoming address
...okay, now you've lost me.
I have no idea what movement these watches have nor do I care - I ain't buying one. But you can easily buy all the cheap, less than $20, Swiss made movements you want all day every day.
Just because it say Made in Switzerland doesn't mean it's the expensive best or even the equal to a well made Chinese movement.
So am I still ok to use this male enhancement honey? So far my male seems about the same.
So not “mail” enhancement? Dammit! I could use a check from Publisher’s Clearing House about now.
Wyoming strip mall’s owner is listed as Skyler White. Attorney is Saul Goodman.
Shouldn't be be touting the American-ness of them? What kind of self-respecting Trump supporter (lol) wants a garbage foreign watch?
