He pardoned five megabanks for rampant fraud and corruption, which is especially notable because of the amount of money he owes them.

Trump has been using Deutsche Bank since the 1990s, and Financial Times has reported that he now owes the bank at least $130 million in outstanding loans secured in properties in Miami, Chicago, and Washington. However, the report claimed that the actual number is likely much larger at $300 million.

During the week of Christmas, the Federal Register announced (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/12/29/2017-27977/exemptions-from-certain-prohibited-transaction-restrictions) that the Trump Administration had issued waivers to Citigroup, JPMorgan, Barclays, UBS and Deutsche Bank—all megabanks facing charges of fraud and corruption.

The banks were involved in the LIBOR Scandal, in which they colluded (http://thefreethoughtproject.com/federal-court-private-lawsuit-bring-16-worlds-largest-criminal-banks-knees/) to deliberately depress the rate at which they paid out on investments. By suppressing the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) at the beginning of an economic crisis in 2007, the megabanks were able to boost their earnings and to give their customers a false sense of security.



I would guess that the banks were running it at the behest of fedgov and the Fed. Trump is just concealing it.

Prolly a boost to the son in laws credit rating also.

How long ago was that Libor Scandal anyway? They bury it for like 8 years?
