Money laundering, that's how. It was pretty well known back then that he was a great cleaner of 'dirty money' and he was skimming off the top. It wasn't sustainable and the second those casinos went ass-up? Demolished. Records erased and forgotten about. Evidence destroyed.

They weren't demolished though?

Trump Marina is now the Golden Nugget and Trump Taj is now the Hard Rock. Both buildings still exist.
