Did we ever discover why Weisselberg got all those extra "perks" from Trump?

This part of today's testimony reminded me of the story:

Ultimately, Cohen decided he would pay it, and Weisselberg told him, “We’ll make sure you get paid back,” Cohen testified. Cohen and Weisselberg told Trump that Cohen would front the money, and Trump told Cohen, “Don’t worry, Michael. You will get paid back.”

Did, perhaps, Weisselberg deploy this same strategy himself in the past, that Donald was repaying him for? I think the assumption was that it was just a tax-evasion scheme, but was there more to it?

It was not the first time this kind of thing had happened.
He was comfortable with it and could make certain Cohen got the money.

Yes I would ask the same thing.

What else was going on?
