Trump had no vested interest outside of leasing/licensing his name and servicing to the Trump Ocean Club International Hotel & Tower in Panama. The way Trump makes money is that he sells his brand name, that brand name comes with more than just his name plastered on the outside. To maintain the integrity of his name he requires the hotels to use his brand of products to service the hotels, which are high end products. The appearance of his name in the Panama documents so many times is because of that reason. He himself owned a condo at one time in the building which he sold, that doesn't make it a sell hidden under a shell corporation...it is sort of minuscule to even consider. Now as far as high end players, yes he knows a lot of them but association among the rich is just that, association, you are not guilty of something just by knowing other rich people, it's some of those other rich people who appear in the papers that were involved in the off shore shell accounts, some possibly buying and selling condo's in the Trump hotel there to conceal or launder money but remember Trump doesn't own the hotel, he doesn't sell the condos, just his name and servicing. That's why his name appears so many times in the papers because a lot of these people were accused of conducting business by hiding and concealing under condos in a hotel which licensed the use of his name.
