Trump was in bed with the Mafia since dad gave him that small $1 million loan to get started.
But the real top bosses took one look at Donnie and fobbed him off on the second stringers. The top guys get the money, and the mooks hold Donnie’s hand and show him where to sign.
So, Donnie learned from really dumb crooks. A smart crook would have kept all three casinos going, made legitimate profits and done ten times as much business laundering money.
Donnie thought he was a genius doing a bust out* that made him less money, but looked cool.
*Bust out. A legitimate business gets taken over by the mob. Starts ordering all kinds of high end merchandise. Don’t pay for anything and sell the stuff cheap to other crooks. Eventually the legit business goes bankrupt, but the crew doesn’t care.
Here’s my take.

Money laundering does seem likely. It is diaper Donnie after all
Not just likely. The business was fined for undeclared foreign funds. This got mostly ignored as it was in the process of going under.
