        Money laundering for the Russian mob. The money enter the casino, gets washed, and then leaves the casino.

        The casinos were mismanaged a the majority of the money never stayed in the casinos. Trump sold properties to Russians and Saudis and that money was his payment for laundering.

        The casinos were bankrupted so Trump could pass the costs onto his investors and keep whatever money he grifted without paying.
