Is the buyer the Russian man divorcing his wife and trying to hide money so his wife could not find it..?Follow the money, follow the money
Sen. Ron Wyden seeking admin records on Trump's sale of mansion to Russian - CNNPolitics
Wyden's letter outlined how Donald Trump bought a 6.3-acre property in Florida for $41.35 million in 2004 and then sold that property to a company owned by the businessman four years later. The sale price to Rybolovlev more than doubled Trump's initial investment, to $95 million. The property's appraisal in 2008 fell short of that sale price by $30 million, Wyden said.
Money Laundering anyone?
Or is this a different Russian sale?

Yep is is, this is such a crooked story..
The wife sued the Russian husband for hiding money...Here we go..Glad that they are looking into it.
In her 2009 lawsuit, Elena said Dmitry "has a history of secreting and transferring assets in order to avoid his obligations" — including paying her money as part of their divorce. As a result, she filed a legal action in Palm Beach County Circuit Court to claim her share of the Palm Beach mansion.
At the time, Rybolovlev was on Forbes' list of the world's billionaires at No. 59, with an estimated net worth of $12.8 billion.
In 2011, court documents in his divorce stated that "Mr. Rybolovlev has not purchased or managed any real estate in Florida for investment purposes, either directly or indirectly," according to a motion filed in the divorce case.
That was news to Trump.
"Somebody paid me $100 million," Trump told a Palm Beach Post reporter in February 2011.
Trump made a hefty profit on the flip: He had scooped up the estate for $41.35 million in 2004 out of health care magnate Abe Gosman's bankruptcy filing. In essence, Trump sold for more than double what he had paid four years before.
Why did Russian oligarch pay so much for mansion owned by Trump?
