I think that you don't see Trump's name because he is a two bit player trying to hob nob with pros. He's like a Chihuahua trying to run with a pack of Rottweilers, constantly yapping to sound tough and important.
Trump's association with this pack is/was mostly as a begger getting bailed out from his financial failures. Along the way he learned to capitalize on his tendency to fail, using failures for benefits like tax write offs. We know that he had financial dealings with Deutsche Bank, which is named in the OP analysis. He might have done some minor laundering for the big guys through his Trump corporation.
Mostly, he was/is owned by the big time criminals due to financial dependence on them. My guess is that they decided to back him in becoming leader of the powerful US where his talent for melodramatic theatrical cons were/are useful to them on promoting their agendas.
