Les Wexner—Epstein associate—sold property in 1980’s to an executive who eventually went bankrupt.

Property went to auction. Epstein planned to get it. Trump scooped him, sold it to oligarch for $50 million markup.

Great reporting by @craigunger. Cannot wait to read this book.
Did some digging about the executive who bought it in 1980’s today. His name was Gosman. Led health care real estate firm until he was ousted in late 90’s.

Owned superyacht. Went bankrupt. His wife concealed $66 million (!) in assets and got charged.

Property went to auction.
After property went to auction and was bought by Trump, Gosman’s wife bought a condo at another Trump property in Florida. The purchase was funded by .. Deutsche Bank. They foreclosed on it in 2009.

Odd coincidence! Trump’s purchase at auction was also financed by Deutsche Bank
