re: #184 Lupin

Money laundering is illegal in the US, even if it’s being done on behalf of foreigners. Your late father’s friend’s suspicion is mine as well - and I think that’s what underlies the kompromat the Russians may well have on him. I suspect he’s been laundering money for the Russian kleptocrats through his real estate holdings and he’s been doing it knowingly and willingly, and for quite some time. That’s the real crime.

If he were ever charged and convicted, he’d be looking at serious jail time.
