Cocktails & Popcorn: Did Michael Cohen Forge Trump's Name For Some Money?

"Enough fun treats for everyone
who sucks at Perkins Coie"

It looks like Michael Cohen was doing some of those Corporate Shape Shifter moves and it also looks like he was bribing certain individuals to approve loans for his taxi business that was tanking from Uber and Lyft dominating the markets.

Below, are the National Credit Union Administration charges with Melrose Credit Union that mentions forgery.

Whose name was Michael Cohen forging?

I am going to go out their on a limb...just grab some at straws...holding my breath...taking a shot in the dark and make a wild, random, guess that he was forging the name of Donald J. Trump, but hey, what do I know?

I know I would definitely try some Checker Cab milk chocolate caramel crunch popcorn with a tall black of coffee!

They like to forge and lie alot up in D.C.

That, I do know.

Ex-Trump lawyer Cohen faces $20M fraud probe

U.S. authorities investigating whether President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, committed bank and tax fraud are focusing on more than $20 million of loans obtained by taxi businesses owned by him and his family, the New York Times reported.

Federal investigators are also looking at whether Cohen violated campaign finance or other laws by helping arrange financial deals to secure the silence of women claiming they had affairs with Trump, the paper said, citing people familiar with the matter. The inquiry has entered the final stage and prosecutors were considering filing charges by the end of the month, the paper said, citing two of the people.

The total of the bank loans under scrutiny hasn’t been previously reported. The loans came from Sterling National Bank and the Melrose Credit Union, two financial institutions in the New York region that have catered to the taxi industry, the Times said. The paper cited business records and people with knowledge of the matter, including a banker who reviewed the transactions.

Federal investigators in New York are seeking to determine whether Cohen misrepresented the value of his assets to obtain the loans, the paper said.

Cohen and his lawyers declined to comment on the investigation, the Times said. Federal officials in New York and Washington also wouldn’t comment, it said.
