I am sorry don't even want to make this comparison, but Bannon is 1932 Germany. I am a long time history buff, but this is a knee jerk reaction.
Who would you compare him to in that regime, lets see how a long time history buff answers.

You are perfectly free to "think" whatever you please. I prefer to get information from people who have some on-the-scene information, people who have actually interacted with the guy for over 30 years. I know that seems like a crazy idea to some folks but it's the way I roll.
As BFFT has pointed out, lawsuits are a part of life when you have money. Somebody is always wanting it and willing to go to any lengths to try and get it.
I suppose his privacy is more important to him than your nosiness about how much money he makes.

Bannon is a racist ass, has been so for a very a long time, and yes Bannon is 1932 Germany. Bannon is a dick weed.

If there was a money transaction between Putin and Trump, it would have been uncovered by investigative journalists and reported in the media. It does not require Trump's income tax returns to find out. In fact, I would argue if there was such a transaction, it would not appear in his income tax returns because it would have been cash in Trump's pocket as a gift.
Income taxes are private, but they can be subpoenaed by Congress. Putin and Trump are not dumb enough to leave any trace of any such transaction. If there were such a transaction, it would have been in rubles which Trump can later convert to dollars, and it would be in cash as a gift and it wouldn't be an income to appear on an income tax return.
I agree it would not appear on Trump's tax return as "Gift from Putin", but there is much info to be gleamed from a personal tax return, especially if the Schedules are released with it.
ETA: I personally think Trump's tax returns show that he is not near as wealthy as he claims to be, and this is why he will not release them. They will reveal the big lie.

So really my question is simple.
If the IRS has the tax returns and have no problem with them why the hell do you?
Seriously, with Obama's targeting of conservatives by the IRS I am sure that if there was even one thing wrong with his returns they would have nailed him by now.
So, basically, settle down...you still got nothing.
Money laundering was an issue for Trump's Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City, which was fined $10 million in 2015 for failing to report suspicious transactions.
Federal rules are designed to protect the U.S. financial system from being used as a safe haven for dirty money and transnational crimes, Jennifer Shasky Calvery, then-director of the U.S. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCen), said at the time.
It was the largest penalty the agency ever levied against a casino since reporting requirements began in 2003, according to The Wall Street Journal.
"The Trump Organization admitted that it failed to implement and maintain an effective (anti-money laundering) program; failed to report suspicious transactions; failed to properly file required currency transaction reports; and failed to keep appropriate records as required by (the Bank Secrecy Act)," FinCen said in a statement.
The outgoing commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) says the agency is planning to move President Trump’s tax returns into a new safe from their previous locked filing cabinet.
