Former Deutsche Bank Executive Who Oversaw Trump’s Loans Dies by Suicide
Thomas Bowers, identified as a former Deutsche Bank executive who signed off on controversial loans to President Donald Trump, died last week after apparently taking his own life at 55.
According to Forensic News‘ Scott Stedman, “One source who has direct knowledge of the FBI’s investigation into Deutsche Bank said that
federal investigators have asked about Bowers and documents he might have. Another source who has knowledge of Deutsche Bank’s internal structure said that Bowers would have been the gatekeeper for financial documents for the bank’s wealthiest customers.”
By 2010, Trump and Deutsche Bank were on lending terms again. (A lawsuit between Trump and the bank over his failure to repay the $500 million loan was settled.) Trump reached out to Vrablic via his recently acquired son-in-law and her client Jared Kushner.
One final loan was broached in 2016–Trump needed money for his golf course in Scotland. But by then Trump’s rhetoric had worn thin with Deutsche Bank’s upper echelons and their reputational risk committee. And Bowers was out–he joined
Starwood Capital Group in 2015.
