Did you know that Scotland has a special prosecutorial tool called "Unexplained Wealth Order"?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unexplained_wealth_order

The prosecutor alleges that you have obtained your financial assets illegally.
YOU must prove that you didn't.
YOU must prove that all assets have a perfectly reasonable legal explanation.

No presumption of innocence. The burden of proof is on YOU.

If you fail to prove that you made your money legally, then the court has the right to seize the assets.

Now that Trump is under investigation in NY for financial crimes, pressure is growing on scottish politicians to issue an UWO to investigate his golf-courses there. So far they have evaded the issue and said that that decision is the prosecutors', not theirs.





I read a weird story about one of Trump's golf-courses a month ago:

- So, Trump has this golf-course in Scotland. It's losing money, losing in value.

- Despite the golf-course losing in value, Trump writes a certificate that says that the golf-course has INCREASED in value.

- Armed with this certificate he wrote himself, Trump takes out a credit on the golf-course... from himself. Trump lends himself money, using his own worthless golf-course as a collateral to himself.

- Trump puts the money that he got from himself into his own golf-course.

- Aaaaaaaaaaaaand repeat: The golf-course continues losing value, Trump again certifies that it has increased in value and uses his own certificate to take out a credit from himself to himself with his own golf-course as the collateral to himself, and again puts his own money into the golf-course.

Does this sound weird to you?

Well, it stops sounding weird once you take the possibility into account that it's actually a money-laundering scheme: It's not his own money that Trump is stuffing into his failing golf-course: It's someone else's money. Money that is supposedly Trump's but actually isn't.

1. And some of the pennies are from people who donated to the Trump recount fund.

2. Yeah, I've been reading about that for a couple days now on the BBC and Guardian websites.

Watch out, tRUMP! The election isn't the only thing you're gonna lose!
