Manafort’s primary banker robbed of briefcase and iPad in mysterious penthouse break-in

[phands]

Coincidence...or....

One of Paul Manafort’s bankers had his Manhattan penthouse burglarized Monday night, with his briefcase and an iPad stolen, reports NBC4 New York.


The banker, identified as David Fallarino, who has been called Manafort’s “front office banker” at Citizens Bank, reportedly told investigators he left the terrace door of his penthouse open before he went to sleep.




According to Fallarino, said he heard a noise around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday and went out to find a crowbar on the terrace, but there were no apparent signs of forced entry. Fallarino also reported that his wine cabinet was wide open and there was a bottle of wine on the floor.


Sources told NBC4, the briefcase, iPad and sneakers were the only items missing.


On Tuesday morning Manafort’s second criminal trial was postponed for one week at his defense attorneys’ request.

"Robber"?
Fat chance.

But what's the matter with these jokers that they want to push Paulie's trial out even closer to the midterms? Don't they know what will happen to their Godfather if the House flips? The Godfather HATES flippers.

"“I have had many friends involved in this stuff."
Yeah Donny, WE KNOW!

Why do you say "fat chance"?

I don't see that he gains much by a fake robbery. My first thought went to Russian operatives.

My first thought went to the Find My iPad app.

Did the guy even try using it?

Just maybe, some evidence has conveniently disappeared???

James Hacker: How am I going to explain the missing documents to "The Mail"?

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Well, this is what we normally do in circumstances like these.

James Hacker: [reads memo] This file contains the complete set of papers, except for a number of secret documents, a few others which are part of still active files, some correspondence lost in the floods of 1967...

James Hacker: Was 1967 a particularly bad winter?

Sir Humphrey Appleby: No, a marvelous winter. We lost no end of embarrassing files.

- Yes, Prime Minister: The Skeleton in the Cupboard, 1982.

Think there's any evidence on there that the prosecution didn't already have?!?!

Perhaps we'll have to wait to see whether the alleged robbery is used as an excuse for some missing emails or bank records in the future. Regarding emails, people often seem to believe that email they receive somehow resides solely on the machine where they read it. In fact, copies may be stored on servers in the cloud, in "sent" folders, or on computers of other recipients, so destroying a machine won't necessarily destroy the email.

Maybe some corroborating evidence that implicates said banker in crimes as yet unexplored, perhaps along with Manafort.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

Are New York burglars in the habit of coming in from the balcony of a Manhattan penthouse?

This close to a trial and the prosecution doesn't have evidence that is on the laptop? That's not how the system works.
