The guy who set that club up was arrested and tried for multiple cases of fraud.
He is now sitting in a CA prison.
How much do you wanna bet Trump will pay a fine and move on.
Do we really want a president who is such a scumabg that he really deserves to be in prison, the same one Hillary needs to occupy?
Trump has lawyers, guys like Cruz who get paid a lot to negotiate settlements in civil lawsuits like this. Just like they did with Univision (where Trump extracted untold amounts of money).
So let not your heart be troubled, there will be no courtroom drama to interfere with Trump’s campaign, just a negotiated settlement when he and his lawyers determine the time is right.
I almost drank from the koolaid cup but can no longer ignore Trump's boatload of slimy stunts, crooked schemes and his crude potty mouth. With Trump as our nominee, I fear Hillary more than ever now because he and Hillary will be in a 'who is the biggest law-breaker' match.
From your description, your friend was a victim of criminal fraud. The TU case is a civil lawsuit, not a criminal one, in which the standard of proof is lower and where the remedy is to pay money as compensation to the plantiff for losses suffered, never jail or fines.
I just mention this because in her zeal to impugn Trump, I wouldn’t expect The Wife to do so. Her biggest regret is that the death penalty doesn’t apply.
Why would the state of the case make any difference?
Both Donald Trump and this guy who is sitting in a CA prison right now lied about their product and they got money from people who thought they were going to get mentoring and access.
Trump is a fraud. Plain and simple.
So you are on the side that says fraud is okay because the victims are too stupid to deserve their money??
Same thing this CA prisoner did. My friend said that he had a side racket that showed people how to acquire numerous credit cards and "play" them against each other. It was so complicated that the CA prosecutors had at least a dozen people working on it - just to figure out how he did it.
I am sure that the CA fraudster is sitting in his prison cell right now watching how Trump is skating away scot free and could possibly become president.
If this all keeps up, its a good thing Trump’s a big guy so he can fight off the the other inmates.
Fraud in your mind, maybe but if he wasn’t charged with such, not in the eyes of the law. Damages, sure - just negotiate a settlement as I pointed out. You can conflate civil and crimimal law all you want but it’s not going to change anything.
Including my vote for Trump.
Maybe Trump can change his street name in the big house to
Trump was right, you would vote for him even if he shot somebody on the streets of Manhattan.
Yep, I can see his victims being paraded in front of tv cameras and telling how Trump scammed them. And no telling what other stuff they'll expose him on. He'll be toast and we'll probably end up with President Hillary. Sickening.
Thank you, CW! I have not seen this before and appreciate your post, even though it makes me sick that if Trump is the GOP nominee, it will be a race between the crooks for POTUS. :-(
You are pathetic. If Trump is the nominee against Hillary, it will be a race between crooks. If you want to pretend Trump is the best GOP candidate for POTUS, then you are in denial of what is about to rain down on him.
All I want to know is, did Trump hold a gun to those people and force them to enroll to his U?
As to the people who enrolled, I’m sure they learned that they had no limit to greed.
That’s because they just know they are smarter than you. PT Barnum...
I see you’re from New York.
I’m from Texas.
Trump’s shady character and disregard for others bothers me.
What is the difference between Trump University and the other “colleges” that sell worthless degrees for even higher prices?
The entire college system is a giant scam
They didn’t even get a “worthless” degree.
They got bupkis.
Is that your point - the one on top of your head? Pssst: Blaming the victims of Trump's fraud shows that you have entered into the abyss.
As to the people who enrolled, I am sure they learned that they had no limit to greed.
Oh please. Aren't you tired of twisting yourself into a pretzel to defend Trump? His Trump University scam took advantage of folks who thought they would actually learn from the real estate mogul. They learned alright - from one of the biggest scam artist that suckered folks who couldn't afford to hand over their hard earned money to a rip-off artist.
And now he has convinced a sea of fools who refuse to open their eyes that he's dishonorable and should never be our President.
