From Reuters

Danske Bank, Denmark’s largest lender, is under investigation in several countries, including the United States, Denmark, Britain and Estonia, over suspicious payments totaling 200 billion euros ($220 billion) which were moved through its tiny Estonian branch during the period Rehe was in charge.
Rehe’s death is likely to complicate investigations into Danske Bank’s Estonian operation, including by U.S. authorities.
The former banker’s importance in investigating the case was highlighted by the fact that he had been quizzed, as a witness, by Estonian prosecutors.
Danske Bank’s is the largest in a series of European money laundering scandals, stretching from Latvia to Sweden.
And in a sign of the wider ramifications of the case, Frankfurt prosecutors said they had raided Deutsche Bank’s headquarters in the German financial capital in relation to Danske Bank. Deutsche Bank said it was cooperating.

The time period that Rehe oversaw the bank coincided with Trump making lots of cash purchases and receiving tons of money from Russia.
Don Jr said there was tons of money pouring in from Russia in 2008.
Around 2006, the Trump Org started paying cash for properties.

In the nine years before he ran for president, Donald Trump’s company spent more than $400 million in cash on new properties — including 14 transactions paid for in full, without borrowing from banks — during a buying binge that defied real estate industry practices and Trump’s own history as the self-described “King of Debt.”
Instead, Eric Trump said, the firm’s existing businesses — commercial buildings in New York, licensing deals for Trump-branded hotels and clothes — produced so much cash that the Trumps could tap that flow for spending money.
Trump’s lavish spending came at a time when his business was leaning largely on one major financial institution for its new loans — Deutsche Bank, which provided $295 million in financing for big projects in Miami and Washington.
The year before he launched his campaign for president, Trump made the two most expensive all-cash purchases that The Post found in its review. In 2014, he shelled out $79.7 million for the huge golf resorts in Doonbeg, Ireland, and Turnberry, Scotland — both of which were losing money at the time.
The Trump Organization pursued pricey renovations of both courses, during which time the properties have continued to suffer losses. Under Trump, the two courses are at least $240 million in the hole so far, according to British and Irish corporate records.

The house in FL sold to the Russian Oligarch was purchased during this time.
Importantly, Trump's casinos were fined multiple times for not following rules to prevent money-laundering.

https://www.cnn.com/2017/05/22/politics/trump-taj-mahal/index.html

According to a dozen anti-money laundering experts, casinos often run into these problems. But getting caught with 106 violations in the casino's opening years is an indicator of a serious problem, they said.
The violations date back to a time when the Taj Mahal was the preferred gambling spot for Russian mobsters living in Brooklyn, according to federal investigators who tracked organized crime in New York City. They also occurred at a time when the Taj Mahal casino was short on cash and on the verge of bankruptcy.

The official statement from FinCEN

Trump Taj Mahal, a casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, admitted to several willful BSA violations, including violations of AML program requirements, reporting obligations, and recordkeeping requirements. Trump Taj Mahal has a long history of prior, repeated BSA violations cited by examiners dating back to 2003. Additionally, in 1998, FinCEN assessed a $477,700 civil money penalty against Trump Taj Mahal for currency transaction reporting violations.

TLDR: A senior banking official, who oversaw an Estonian branch of Danske Bank, which was involved in ~$220 billion in money laundering during roughly the same decade-long period that Trump used cash to buy properties, was found dead after speaking with prosecutors and investigators. It is highly likely that the properties purchased with cash are laundromats for Russian Oligarch money as previous Trump properties have been/are.

After several years of trial, Miedź finally won I Liga and got promoted to Ekstraklasa. It is worth saying, that they did it without any troubles, losing only 5 matches for whole season (losing only 5 matches is really rare achievement for Polish club). Team played very offensive, entertaining football and has stable finances, so their promotion is good for Ekstraklasa. On paper Miedź are debutants, but in fact more than half of their squad already played in Polish top tier. Squad is very experienced. All indications are that they won't be second Sandecja and will stay in Ekstraklasa a little longer. Miedź looks rather like a mid table team, but may have problems in future, cause average age is high.

Interesting players

Anton Kanibolotskiy	Ukrainian goalkeeper. Five years spent in Shakhtar Donetsk. Starter against PSG in Champions League. Now, sits on the bench in newly promoted Polish team.
Paweł Zieliński	Brother of Piotr Zieliński from Napoli. Hard to say anything more about him.
Łukasz Garguła/Wojciech Łobodziński	Both were called up for EURO 2008, Łobodziński was even a starter. Now, Wojciech (36) is captain of team. Łukasz (37) won't appear in starting eleven, but Nowak may use him, when Miedź will have comfortable lead.
Petteri Forsell	Scorer of first goal of the season. One year ago he almost joined Cracovia, but they resigned, cause he was too fat.
Henrik Ojamaa	Absolutely love him. His tendency to make always bad decisions adds colors to this league.

Fun fact After leaving Legia in 2015 and before joining Miedź in 2018, Henrik Ojamaa played for five different teams. Overall, he was employed in fifteen different clubs in his eleven years old career. And he is only 27, so he still can beat Sebastian Abreu.

From all clubs playing in Ekstraklasa today, Piast was the most threatened of relegation. They avoided it in last matchday, when they beat Termalica Nieciecza (team from the smallest town to ever play in any top-tier football league in the world) 4-0. Only two years earlier, Piast was absolutely unexpectedly fighting for championship. Team was the biggest sensation of the season. They played very entertaining, offensive football, but ultimately lost against Legia (led by current Russia NT coach, Stanislav Cherchesov) 0-4. 4-0 against Termalica and avoiding relegation. 0-4 against Legia and losing chance for championship. Moreover, manager of "Piastelona" (as they were called), Radoslav Latal, currently works in... Spartak Trnava, which eliminated Legia from CL Qualifiers. Well... Current manager of Piast, Waldemar Fornalik (alias "Sad Waldemar", because he never even smiled) worked earlier in Ruch Chorzów and Poland NT. Ruch led by him was either fighting for avoiding relegation or fighting for the medals. If he repeats that again, Piast would be the darkest from all dark horses. They won their two first matches, so...

Interesting players

Jakub Czerwiński	Bald centre-back, decent in Pogoń, but was mainly sitting on the bench in Legia and joined Piast in winter. Helped in avoiding relegation.
Tomasz Jodłowiec	Great player by Ekstraklasa standards. Loaned from Legia, played with them in Champions League, 49 caps for Poland NT including winning match against Germany. He didn't have bigger career mostly due to problems with gambling.
Konstantin Vassiljev	Piast fans were delighted, when Emperor of Estonia returned to his former club after fantastic season in Jagiellonia, but he became only the biggest transfer flop of summer break. 1 goal and 1 assist. Moreover, Kostia missed two penalties on the beginning of the season. Maybe if he scored, Piast wouldn't be threatened of relegation later.
Gerard Badia	Probably the most likeable player of whole league. I've never seen someone who dislike him.
Michal Papadopulos	He played was employed in Arsenal during their 2003/2004 Invincibles season. Luckily, later his career moved forward and now he plays in Ekstraklasa.

Fun fact Gliwice City Stadium is identical copy of German SC Paderborn stadium. It is also popularly called "Tesco Arena", due to its similarity to supermarket.

In recent years, Pogoń was considered as upper mid table team, but nothing more. Unexpectedly, they were the 2nd bigggest flop of last season after Lechia, ending it at 11th position (but remaining last during winter break). Surprise was huge also because Pogoń's coach Maciej Skorża was titled, had successful career and managed clubs like Wisła Kraków, Legia and Lech. Situation was hopeless, and then the winged hussars Kosta Runjaić arrived. Similarly to Gino Lettieri, Runjaić worked in lower German leagues. He saved team and gave him a style. His success was irrefutable. In summer two important midfielders leaved team. Veteran Rafał Murawski is currently free agent and young talent Jakub Piotrowski joined Genk. New season started for Pogoń like in "Groundhog day". They lost all three matches and didn't score even a single goal. Runjaić should have all his wits about him, because in Poland three loses are enough for being fired and your earlier work doesn't matter.

Spas Delev	Once former lethal couple of wingers with Hungarian Adam Gyurcso. Key player of team, currently injured.
Adam Frączczak	Universal player this time will play as a left winger. In past was used as right winger, right-back and striker.
Morten Rasmussen	Top scorer in history of Danish Superliga (145 goals). One goal for Pogoń. I know he is old, but how scoring in Ekstraklasa can be so hard for striker like him?

After winning 2011/2012 season, Śląsk achieved Europa League Qualifiers two times. In the other years they gained only places between 9 and 11 (I could insert obvious joke her, but it's just too obvious). Anyway, they were in TOP 3, but TOP 3 of relegation group. Team was disappointing and boring, one of the most boring in league. I don't know if you noticed, but Śląsk was probably the most often appearing club in Ekstraklasa gifs. One year ago, Śląsk did incredibly many transfers (mostly old players, who were good a few years earlier). This summer Śląsk did not so many transfers (mostly young players with potential). Their last season was also boring for the most part, but they started looking promising at the end. Manager of team, Tadeusz "Teddy" Pawłowski (the opposite of Fornalik - he laughs and smiles all the time) is also top scorer of Śląsk. Club's stadium is the biggest stadium in Ekstraklasa. On paper, they have potential to achieve championship group, maybe something more.

Interesting players

Jakub Wrąbel	From all player who represented Poland on EURO U21, he was the worst (maybe except Dawidowicz). Śląsk will be in troubles, if starting goalkeeper Słowik gets injured.
Piotr Celeban/Wojciech Golla	Śląsk's couple of centre-backs looks very solid. Celeban is one of the best defenders in Ekstraklasa. He also scored 44 goals in his career which is impressive result. Golla returned to Poland after three years in Dutch NEC Nijmegen.
Igors "This one with the long hair" Tarasovs	I want to express my heartfelt condolences and solidarity with the people of Latvia. I would commit suicide, if footballer like Tarasovs played in my national team.
Kamil Vacek	Vassiljev, but from 2015/2016. He was key player of sesational Piast Gliwice. One year ago, after year in Israel, he joined Śląsk and obviously did nothing.
Damian Gąska	During last season he played in 2nd tier Wigry Suwałki, but still was called up to Poland U21. It means something.
Farshad Ahmadzadeh	First Iranian in Ekstraklasa, has potential to be one of the best players in league. His technique is very impressive, he must be very proud.
Marcin Robak	He is 36, but still would be important player for every Ekstraklasa team except Legia and Lech. The only active member of Club 100 - players who scored at least 100 goals in Ekstraklasa (102). Young, promising talent, Paweł Brożek (35) scored 140, but still remains free agent.

Fun fact Śląsk Wrocław gave Ekstraklasa one of the most iconic and legendary coaches in history of league - Stanislav Levy, Czech Guardiola, The Social One, King od Wrocław welfare apartments, chieftain of Olomoucan scrappers. Even looking at this photo, you can hear songs of Karel Gott, sinister screeching of Škoda 130 L with Czechoslovak license plate and smell violet ambrosia.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Wisła Kraków the Strong? I thought not. It's not a story Reddit would tell you. It's a Polish legend. Wisła Kraków was a side of Polish Ekstraklasa, so powerful and so rich they could use the money to buy every player from other Ekstraklasa team and be... Polish Bayern. They had such a power to qualify to Champions League, but in qualifiers usually played against Real or Barcelona. Old way of qualifying to CL was a pathway to many injustices some consider to be... unnatural. They were so powerful... the only thing fans were afraid of was losing their owner, which eventually, of course, happened. Unfortunately, now club is incredibly poor and Błaszczykowski lent them €1m. Ironic. They could buy whoever they wanted, but now they have troubles with renting stadium.

Interesting players

Marcin Wasilewski	Poland starter at EURO 2008 and EURO 2012, Anderlecht's legend and Premier League champion with Leicester. One of the most impressive careers in Ekstraklasa. Not as impressive as Krasić or Eduardo, but Wasilewski unlike them plays well.
Zoran Arsenić	Wisła's key player, often linked with Bundesliga sides.
Maciej Sadlok	Probably the best left-back in league. He never leaved Ekstraklasa and isn't called up to national team, because he is afraid of flying.
Riccardo Grym/Kamil Wojtkowski	Two young players to watch. One year ago Wojtkowski joined Wisła from RB Leipzig, Grym came before start of this season from Borussia M... a German team.
Tibor Halilović	Brother of Alen Halilović. I wonder how does he feel.
Rafał Boguski	Hero of one of the most iconic photos in history of league. Also, scorer of the fastest goal in history of Poland NT (23rd second).
Patryk "Who the fuck are you?" Małecki	This guy is state of mind. Or at least was, because now he calmed down. In past he was doing many things he shouldn't have done (but still more intelligent than He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named).

Fun fact When coach Maciej Stolarczyk worked as a sports director in Pogoń Szczecin, club signed forward Nadir Çiftçi from Celtic on loan. To put it mildly, he didn't do well. However, a few months later Stolarczyk said that he was satisfied, because "Çiftçi fulfiled his role. Other players saw that they are not worse than footballer worth so much money.".

Wisła Płock was one of the biggest surprises of last season and unexpectedly achieved 5th place. Their manager, Jerzy Brzęczek was announced as a new Poland NT head coach a few weeks ago. Wisła was a decent team in early 2000s, but later got relegated and returned to Ekstraklasa in 2016/2017. Their first season after promotion was only not bad and they gained 12th place. On paper their squad from next season didn't look way better, but team was one of dark horses. Now, repeating this success would be unbelievable. New manager of team, Dariusz Dźwigała, who achieved nothing in his career (he is also father of footballer of Wisła, Adam Dźwigała). Team's squad looks OK, enough for being mid table team.

Damian Szymański	Both key player and player to watch. This is probably his last season in Poland.
Semir Stilić	Experienced playmaker doesn't shine like in Lech and Wisła Kraków, but still remains important for Płock. He was a beast in the past.
Giorgi Merebashvili	Giorgi is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get. This gif perfectly summarise him. Fast, technically gifted, but his finishing is only meh.
Ricardinho	He returns to Poland after five years. Most of them he spent in Moldovan Sheriff Tiraspol. Solid forward by Ekstraklasa standards.

Fun fact One year ago Marcin Kaczmarek resigned as a Wisła's manager a few days before start of the season, because Dominik Furman said that trainings are too hard. Kaczmarek started working in Wisła in 2012, when club played in 3rd tier. Furman joined team in 2016, after promotion to Ekstraklasa.

In 2014/2015 Zagłębie under coach Piotr Stokowiec (currently Lechia Gdańsk) won I Liga and returned to Ekstraklasa after one year. In 2015/2016, as a newly promoted team, they reached 3rd place (this season was really weird overall). In the summer 2016 they eliminated Levski Sofia and Partizan Belgrad from EL Qualifiers and... That's all. Later things got only worse. They achieved 9th place in 2016/2017. In season 2017/2018 Stokowiec got sacked and was replaced by Shakhtar Donetsk legend, Mariusz Lewandowski (no, he is not related to Robert). Watching them became hard, but similarly to their rivals from Śląsk, they started playing better at the end of the season, I would say that they are dark horses, but some people call them dark horses every year. Admittedly, squad looks very well, and Zagłębie won their two first matches (including 3-1 against Legia away).

Adam Matuszczyk	Dozens of matches in Bundesliga. Over twenty for Poland NT. And what? Nothing
Filip Starzyński	Example of player born for Ekstraklasa. Too slow and phlegmatic for stronger league, but technically good enough for being Riquelme of Ekstraklasa. When he wants and when he is fully healthy, so really seldom, but still. Classic number 10, would be a star in seventies.
Damjan Bohar	One of the best transfers this summer. Bohar came to Poland from Slovenian Maribor and looked very promising. He also scored a goal in Champions League last season.
Bartłomiej Pawłowski	Except episode in Malaga, Pawłowski is also remembered for calling 7 a.m. "horrendous" hour for waking up.

After many years Zagłębie finally returned to top tier, but they did it in a different style than Miedź. Club just crawled into Ekstraklasa and was the least worst from many bad teams in I Liga. Squad of team looks bad, there is probably no worse team in our league currently. Avoiding relegation would be a miracle. Sentences like these are very unusual. We are talking about league flat like plate, and they have potential to be Polish Benevento. Terrifying. Yesterday they won against Pogoń, but it looks like anyone can beat Pogoń now. It doesn't change anything. It's not like I hate them or something. I feel sorry for them.

Three short questions

Why didn't you give detailed predictions? As I said, Ekstraklasa is too flat for giving detailed predictions. Most things are nothing more than a coincidence and luck/bad luck. We have three teams which are a bit better than the rest (but I'm also not sure all of them will be in TOP 3) and one team which is worse than the rest. Order of other teams is not to predict.
Why is Ekstraklasa so special? There are many worse leagues in Europe! Yes, but our league is one of a kind. Playing level is the opposite of background level. We have beautiful stadiums, TV programmes, interviews, rankings, VAR, commentators pretend that they are excited, players are actually popular. Look at this. Or at this. Or at this (from 2016/2017). This is like watching Macedonian League, but in Bundesliga packaging. In Poland we call things like that "gówno w papierku po cukierku" - shit in a candy wrapper.
How can I watch it? https://www.dailymotion.com/ekstraklasa Official stream. Enjoy.

Ok, please critique my expat plan mercilessly…
Background: 35yo F hospitalist PA at well-respected academic west-coast institution (trained and now teach here), current salary ~110k with ~160 hospital shifts per year, homeowner in said west-coast city, good friends here (grew up here), travel frequently, yet despite this I WANT OUT!
I currently have the bandwidth on my days off to pick up some telemedicine and chart-review jobs. I have about ~40k in savings (not counting 401k & the house). I have friends in Berlin, Helsinki, Stockholm and Amsterdam (none are expats so can laugh at my attempted speaking/learning of their native language).
My goal destinations are Denmark, Sweden, Germany or Holland. Finland also but sadly there aren’t really any grad programs there that I’m interested in. I’m pretty quick with languages though the ones I know are not much use in this plan and of the options, Swedish/Danish comes easier to me than German or Dutch. And we all know about Finnish (the Finns said they would laugh if I learned it)
I made a large spreadsheet with the graduate programs I am interested in, their application/start dates, costs.
My possible plans are as follows:
Plan 1) slow transition: -Ramp up on the remote job and get a sense of the feasibility of that lifestyle abroad (being aware of the 90/180 rule) and cut back my current job to 0.6-0.7 so I can be gone for the longer stretches. (Ease into the DN role)
-Double-check that the cities where the grad programs are offered are places I would want to be for a longer period that I have not spent much time (Aarhus, Uppsala, Hambug etc). Apply and start said grad program: Programs I am looking at with practical applications:
Toxicology
Pharm research
Drug Discovery and Safety
Vaccinology
Medical Innovation
-work remotely part-time to supplement income while in school. -Ideally make connections during my 2-year grad program to help me secure a work visa from a pharmaceutical company or other large company. Work and live happily every after in Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Holland etc
Plan 2) fast transition:
Once DN work enabled, apply for DAFT or freelance visa in Germany. My business idea is for a mobile medical app (my friend in Holland had a nightmare trying to get a simple Rx), my other friend in Holland is a physician so could help me potentially launch this. Tech sector is huge in either Berlin or Amsterdam and it seems like there could be a role for this sort of app. Ideally could make some contacts before I complete a Medical Informatics grad program in Amsterdam or the one in Germany. I’m not sure how the visa switch from freelance to student would be but would hopefully end up with a full-time position in a tech company of sorts helping with medical apps. There is also a program like this in Estonia that looks interesting. Live happily ever after working in tech or in IT at a hospital.
Plan 3) either fast or slow transition to start
Once DN work enabled decide if I like Holland enough to stay there permanently (it’s a bit flat and developed for my taste and Dutch is not my favorite language). However the Dutch are lovely and I like my friends there. Master Dutch and get my PA license in Holland through the BIG registry https://english.bigregister.nl/foreign-diploma/procedures/recognition-professional-qualifications Practice as a PA in Holland, live happily ever after. Could possibly do this in Germany, though it’s only a BS degree rather than an MSc and thus the pay is lower. There is a PA program in Berlin, but I suspect it will take me a while to master German in order to teach.
Plan 4) Most fanciful
DN work enabled, enroll in an art program in Berlin to study something I love but without much practical application via student visa. Drop said program and enroll in serious scientific grad programs mentioned above when the time comes.
Questions:

1. If I did a grad program under this umbrella (say, Toxicology or Vaccine research) in a city where I was not convinced I would want to live (Geneva or Bruges), how likely would it be that I could find a job in my desired city (Copenhagen or Stockholm) given their large pharmaceutical presence? To me, this seems risky. Though I suppose I could also consider a transfer from the Swiss branch to the Nordic branch.
   
2. If I enrolled in a more fanciful art program in Berlin (let’s face it, studying art in Berlin also a dream of mine though entirely unpractical), would I be penalized for dropping my studies when the time came to switch to something practical? Is it more difficult to get a student visa to study art?
   
3. If I came under DAFT or the German freelance visa, how much do they check up on the actual launch of your business plan? From my reading it looked like you had to have some contacts and submit a business plan but that’s it. I’m concerned that my “freelancing” doing medical work remotely and showing up with a business idea for mobile medical app is not quite enough to squeak by… Also, again if I came under DAFT or German freelance, would they care if I enrolled in a grad program? Would I need to switch to a student visa?
   
4. There are a lot of grad programs in Public Health and Global Health that also look very interesting, also Medical Anthropology. This seemed like a bit of a "gamble" as far as finding work goes. Anyone beg to differ on this?
   

I’m going to have to look into which of those countries give a longer “grace period” after student visa to let you find work. My nightmare scenario is completing a grad program with no job offers and going home with my tail between my legs…though I suppose it’s easy enough to find a PA job in the states.
If you made it this far, thanks for reading and I appreciate any and all help with this crazy plan!
