***BREAKING*** Feds investigating Cohen $774,000.00 slush fund.
Those transactions could factor into a broad investigation of Mr. Cohen’s business affairs being conducted by Manhattan federal prosecutors and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who are examining whether Mr. Cohen violated any laws in his efforts to raise cash and conceal negative information about Mr. Trump, according to people familiar with the matter. Those include transactions tied to his credit line and his ownership of real estate and taxi medallions, the people said.
In February 2016, as Mr. Trump’s fortunes as a presidential candidate rose, Mr. Cohen nearly doubled the amount he could use on a bank credit line tied to his Manhattan apartment, increasing his ability to borrow by $245,000, according to real-estate records.

DUzy, malaise!
Neverending...
(and it may still apply in some offices today) - Say you have someone who commutes to work on the train. They buy a paper out of the machine, go through the complicated etiquette of carefully folding the paper while reading on the train, eventually shoving it in a bag as they get off the train... and then when they get to work, rather than throw the paper away (or throw it in the recycling bin nowadays), they plop the paper on a table in the "break room". You then have other folks walk in and sit down and read that "gratis" copy of the paper that they did not pay for because it was not thrown away. And the newspaper folks knew this. It was (still is) extremely common.
In fact, when I was a kid and commuted downtown to school on a commuter train, many of the adults would just leave the paper on the seat when they got off the train and I would pick it up to read later or take home. I didn't "pay" for it, it was "discarded", but it did get me introduced to stuff like "Barrons" and whatnot. 
So the newspaper industry knows this happens and they do offer (at least the 3 I subscribe to) the ability to "share" a subscription with a family member/friend etc for their device. WP also offers a "30 day pass" each month in addition, for subscribers to give to people to get them interested. And slowly they have picked up new subscribers this way.
And I won't even attempt an electronic crossword. lol
NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, whose business dealings are being investigated by the FBI, and the lawyer’s father-in-law have lent $26 million in recent years to a taxi mogul who is shifting into the legalized marijuana industry, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.
Semyon “Sam” Shtayner, a longtime business associate of Michael Cohen’s father-in-law, created Nevada-based Cannaboss LLC the day before the 2016 election. A few months later, he took a majority position in a company that is provisionally licensed to cultivate medicinal marijuana and produce edibles, the records show.

It’s not clear whether Shtayner used any of the loans — $6 million of which have come directly from Cohen since 2014 — to finance his grow operation.

So I’m just sayin...somehow, Cohen can pony up $6M?!? - that we know of - in 4 years...so how did he do that? ... hey, I hope he gets busted for $774 thou or $6M worth of financial misdeeds, but I don’t think we’re seeing more than little fractions of the quantities of BLOOD MONEY this little smart-mouthed mobster wannabe has been moving for the last 10+ years...
