Jack,            Really?, why the heck did they have their money in our banks to begin with?  Don't they have banks over there?  It all sounds rather sordid and paying it off  "clandestinely" in   cash is really suspicious. It reminds me of a massive drug deal.  How did Trump scam anyone of his creditors?   Bankruptcy maybe?  You know that is legal and its actually loosely based on the Bible. The Israelites forgave all debts after 7 years.  What a concept.  Millions of Americans take advantage of our bankruptcy laws and thrive afterwards.  A good thing!
