Dear President: it’s a crime for a United States company to act with willful blindness toward the corrupt activities of a foreign business partner.

Donald J. Trump may have violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which — according to the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice — makes it a crime for a United States company to act with willful blindness toward the corrupt activities of a foreign business partner.  His many development projects, most of which failed, in which he partnered with known criminals and sold apartments to organized crime figures, many of them Russian, make him vulnerable to charges that he wilfully ignored open money laundering by his associates.
