Trump Entertainment Resorts went bankrupt in 2014 and its Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City was eventually sold — but not before the casino racked up millions in fines for having “willfully violated” anti-money laundering laws.
In its first year and a half, the casino violated 106 anti-money laundering laws, resulting in a $477,000 fine in 1998. The casino allowed gamblers to cash out over $10,000 in a single day without reporting it. Then, in 2015, it was fined $10 million for anti-money laundering rules violations.

The web of Donald Trump’s connections to organized crime is alarming and goes back decades. From Russian mobsters and convicted drug traffickers to multimillion-dollar money laundering schemes and bank fraud, his history of criminal associates puts him — and the country — at risk.
