Well, well, well Russian Oligarch money funneled through a Manafort owner shell company used to buy a Trump property....

Newly-released court papers in the Manafort case show that he got a $10 million loan from Russian oligarch Deripaska to one of his shell companies: "John Hannah LLC" That company is the shell company through which he bought his Trump Tower apartment, #43-G for all cash

Here's the original story @ilyamarritz and I did in March 2017 in which we puzzle over the name "John Hannah" Turns out its formed from Manafort's middle name and then-business partner Rick Davis's middle name "John" and "Hannah"

Understanding that name "John Hannah," and the way it linked Manafort and Davis, who the AP had just reported, had a contract with Deripaska, was a major clue that Manafort's New York real estate deals were worth looking into.

Seems as though this connects the dots pretty well for one dark money conduit.
Many would have guessed he used real estate, but this is all on one page.
