I’m sorry, but I don’t believe it for one second. The rich have numerous ways to hide money.

What if, and hear me out, he’s got plenty of money stashed away around the world, he just doesn’t want to spend it. Instead, he wants to file bankruptcy to make it go away, or someone else to bail him out with their money so he doesn’t have to spend his. It’s not like he doesn’t have a well proven track record of being a liar and a fraud.

Yeah the guy who cleared out the Italian mob for the Russian mob to move in (think that happened under him) would have money hidden properly...If not he's as clueless as someone caught on camera thinking he'll commit statutory rape for fun. Even if he's not that clueless he may have thought himself untouchable. Trump only keeps idiots around as long as he was.
