After American banks refused to lend Trump money, he and his friend Jeffrey Epstein turned to Deutsche Bank and managed to borrow over $2 billion from that institution with the help of William Broeksmit, Thomas Bowers, and Justin Kennedy. Broeksmit hanged himself in 2014, leaving a suicide note and paperwork tying him to the bank’s unit accused of laundering some $10 billion of Russian oligarch money and over $400 million in questionable loans to Trump. As stories about Trump’s finances began hitting the media in 2019, Tom Bowers (55 years old), who signed off on Trump’s loans hanged himself.
