Trump's $40 Million Undisclosed Cash Transfers Raise Legal Concerns

The financial watchdog overseeing the Trump Organization has informed a New York judge about $40 million in previously unreported cash transfers, including $29 million sent to former President Donald Trump for tax payments. The transfers also included insurance premiums and the $5.6 million Trump posted as security while appealing a civil jury verdict in favor of writer E. Jean Carroll. The monitor, Barbara Jones, appointed to oversee the financial statements of Trump's company as part of a business fraud lawsuit, noted that the defendants have agreed to report all transfers exceeding $5 million. Trump's lawyer stated that the defendants continue to cooperate with the monitor and remain in compliance with the court order.

Financial watchdog warns against storing money in payment apps like Venmo and Cash App.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has warned customers of Venmo, PayPal, and CashApp not to store their money with those apps for the long term because the funds might not be safe during a crisis. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures bank accounts up to $250,000, but money stored in Venmo or CashApp or Apple Cash is not being held in a traditional bank account. The CFPB said that some of the funds may be eligible for pass-through insurance coverage if customers do certain activities with the apps, but generally, by default, the apps are not covered by deposit insurance.
