Again!!!????
The best man in my wedding, a drywall contractor bid his Taj-Mahal casino and was awarded the bid. He had to take out a second mortgage on his home, borrow five hundred thousand to get started and when the bill came due upon job completion, Trump filed bankruptcy and my friend lost his home, his marriage, his cars, his business, and never really recovered in many ways.
I ran into Trump once in McSorley's and told him what I thought of him. I was removed from the premises by his goons.
Despite the media love affair with the jerk, there is an army of people he's wronged quite badly who would love to do him harm.

Yes....his performance for his shareholders is bad enough.
If the property is so valuable and he has gone from low 30s to 2.71 a share in 8 years in a real estate firm it would appear to me that the stock should have hit book value by now.
Anyone?

This is a sad story, but is your friend not the first contractor to not be paid on a job? I say not. In fact, in most states it's so common that most state's laws grant them an automatic lien on the property. That said, it's still not going to make him whole, but one must question the wisdom of what your friend did. He saw big buck$$ gambled his nest egg and lost. That's capitalism, and that's life.

That's the worst story I've heard in a long time.

I think you are speaking out your ass.
