Alleged involvement of a New Jersey businessman (Ribis) and Steve Bannon in Trump’s 1989 bankruptcy rescue and 1995 casino IPO
Summary
Alleged involvement of a New Jersey businessman (Ribis) and Steve Bannon in Trump’s 1989 bankruptcy rescue and 1995 casino IPO The passage provides a specific claim that a person named Ribis, together with Steve Bannon and Steve Bollenbach, assisted Donald Trump during his 1989 bankruptcy and orchestrated a 1995 IPO that restored his wealth. While it names high‑profile actors, it lacks concrete details such as dates, amounts, or documented transactions, making it a moderate‑strength lead that warrants verification but is not yet actionable. Key insights: Ribis, described as the son of Italian immigrants, allegedly worked with Steve Bannon on Trump’s 1989 bankruptcy rescue.; Steve Bollenbach (later CEO of Hilton Hotels) is said to have been part of the team that persuaded creditors to let Trump keep his casino assets.; The 1995 IPO of a gaming company, purportedly orchestrated by Ribis, is claimed to have restored Trump’s wealth.

iMessage thread hints at paid media production, high‑level political figures, and covert coordination with foreign interests The conversation contains multiple actionable clues – a $100k invoice, references to a ‘cast’ for filming, mentions of Prince Andrew, Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, Michael Wolff, and Chinese market manipulation – that suggest a coordinated media or influence operation involving powerful political actors and foreign financial interests. While the specifics are vague, the repeated references to payments, legal arrangements, and government sensitivity provide concrete follow‑up leads (e.g., trace the $100k invoice, identify the production crew, locate the ‘letter to Burke’, and verify the alleged Chinese market influence). The content is moderately controversial and ties to high‑profile individuals, warranting further investigation. Key insights: Reference to sending an invoice for $100k to Darren – potential payment for services.; Discussion of assembling a ‘cast’ and filming on an island, with government interest in controlling press.; Mentions of Prince Andrew, Donald Trump, and Bannon in a context suggesting exploitation or coordinated messaging.
