Rugs, landscaping, and Range Rovers: How Trump's former campaign head spent his allegedly laundered cash
What to do with a shitload of allegedly laundered cash? If you are Paul Manafort and his buddy, you spend it on cars and rugs and a home entertainment system.
Manafort -- President Donald Trump's former campaign manager -- and his sidekick Rick Gates were indicted on Monday for allegedly laundering a lot of money through shell companies. Manafort laundered more than $18 million, according to the indictment.
We pulled out some of the more ridiculous things they supposedly spent this cash on, below.
Home entertainment company: $1.3 million
Hope it has 4D otherwise wasn't worth it tbh.
Antique rug store: $934,000
Old rugs ain't cheap.
Men's clothing store in New York: $849,000
Please tell us if you have seen Manafort enter any men's clothing store in New York. Maybe he's left a Yelp review? I should check.
Landscaping: $821,000
Is this one of those services where they cut your bushes into sculptures? Trying to think how landscaping, even a number of times, would cost this much.
Four Range Rovers: $211,000
Yes, there are many types of vehicles in the world, but sometimes you like what you like.
If you want to read about what else these two allegedly spent their cash on, look no further than the indictment.
