CNN tracked Trump’s watch to a building in Sheridan, Wyoming—and found strange ties to a “male enhancement honey” company with a similar name.
Last month, Donald Trump announced that he was selling limited-edition, gaudy watches ranging from $499 to the bargain price of $100,000, bragging about their Swiss-made precision.
But a CNN investigation traced the watches’ origin to a shopping center in remote Sheridan, Wyoming, where TheBestWatchesOnEarth LLC, the company behind the timepieces, is based. There’s no indication that a watch company is located at the building listed at the address, only a daycare. Its neighbors include an H&R Block, a Wendy’s, and a “vape and hemp smoke shop.”
CNN couldn’t find the people behind the company either, because the business’s location allows it to legally hide those details from the public. The news network found that knocking on the door of the business’s supposed address didn’t answer those questions. Interestingly, the limited liability corporation behind Trump’s infamous gold sneakers is also based at the address, along with other random businesses. The watch company was registered on July 29, only two months before Trump announced the watch line.

Cops have better things to do than shutting down obvious money laundering enterprises - like, shaking down obvious money laundering enterprises for a cut of the action.
I lived in Daytona Beach a few years ago, and one day I noticed that a small store had opened up that sold nothing but Super-Whisks, plastic whisks that cost $1 each. They were never open (a hand-written sign said the nail salon next door had a couple of whisks if you wanted one) and they were a quarter of a mile from a Publix and three dollar stores, all of which also sold $1 plastic whisks, so they weren’t exactly satisfying an unmet demand. The most ridiculously obvious money laundry I’ve ever seen and yet they were never investigated by anyone.
There was an old video store that opened up in my neighborhood in the late 80s. Now it did have an adult section in the back, so there was at least a hint of legitimate business. Now remember. I’m saying late 80s here. VHS. A circulation of movies that was never updated. For decades. Well, well beyond VHS’s expiration date. But when you walked in there, that’s what you saw. “Modern-day” movies like Roadhouse and Howard the Duck. In like 2005. And when you walked in, the guy at the counter gave you a look as if you were definitely not welcome, and even the adult section (where I figured the “real” business took place) was “closed”.
The place closed down sometime during the late 00s, but to this day I firmly believe the store was a front for some kind of mob operation and money laundering and the adult section was for…<ahem>members only, ifyaknowwhatimean.
