Even the owner and name behind the product-the man whose promotional materials claimed that his personal know-how and hands-on involvement constituted the core value of the product-had already conceded in his own deposition and his lawyers' filings that, though he had been intimately involved in how the product was promoted, he had had little to do with deciding its ingredients and, despite the marketing claims, had been "completely absent" from the company bearing his name that produced and sold it.
What was still more remarkable was that the owner of the product likened by both sides and the judge that afternoon to the Cobra Sexual Energy pill or to adulterated fruit juice was soon to become No. 1 in the Republican presidential polls: Donald Trump.
...
Mitt Romney was attacked in ads in his U.S. Senate campaign and then in his presidential run for being involved in private-equity plays that caused workers to lose jobs while he made millions. Carly Fiorina suffered the same broadsides during her U.S. Senate race, stemming from her ill-fated tenure as CEO of Hewlett-Packard. But neither was accused of defrauding people or otherwise breaking the law; the rap against them was that they were hard-hearted businesspeople. As Trump advances in the 2016 contest, he could face charges of an entirely different magnitude.
The records indicate, for example, that Trump University collected approximately $40 million from its students-who included veterans, retired police officers and teachers-and that Trump personally received approximately $5 million of it, despite his claim, repeated in our interview, that he started Trump University as a charitable venture.
...
New York State law requires that anything calling itself a university must apply, be vetted, have all instructors vetted and then be certified, none of which Trump did.

The media will destroy this man if he wins the primary.
LOL!!!!
This again….
Trump was also big on Multi Level Marketing until he sold his company
Ya don’t hear much about it any more as Multi Level Marketing is a boondoggle for most people who get caught up in it
Did people think they would listen to a tape and become instant millionaires? LOL.
Trump's skill at peddling dubious, get-rich schemes is indeed remarkable. He has now applied those skills to the political arena, where regulators can't go after him for broken campaign promises. Now that's what I call out-of-the-box thinking. He's obviously come to his true calling late in life.
Yep.
Some folks keep re-posting the same ol’ non-stories that failed to harm Trump the 1st time they came around.
Go Trump!
Did people think they would listen to a tape and become instant millionaires? LOL.

More “little people” scammed by the Donald.

The Clintons must REALLY fear Trump, if they called one of their impeachment wars go-to guys off the bench.
They can destroy him in his own words. He’s PT Barnum redux and, like Barnum, he keeps reinventing himself. Not a bad thing for an entertainer, but not a good thing for a person who has decided his next gig should be President of the US.
And remember what Barnum said when asked the secret to his success...”there’s a sucker born every minute.” it should be Trump’s motto.
That whole case was a BS publicity stunt by the prosecutor. Total damages per “victim” IF it went to trial were literally lunch money.
Every time you defend Donald Trump, God kills a puppy.
And two cute, fuzzy kittens.
For shame, moehoward!
"Cobra Sex Energy pill"?
Why didn't they use an analogy to "Genuine Spurious Spanish Fly"? EVERYONE knows about that stuff. :)
And what's "adult fruit juice"? Sounds kind of risque to me. Does it gets served by Bikini Juicer Girls?
Count me in!
Come to think of it, I'll bet Laz knows ALL about this Adult Fruit Juice stuff...
Brill the Shill, and New York Attorney general Eric Schneiderman?
Schneiderman serves as the 65th and current New York Attorney General. He is a member of the Democratic Party. Prior to becoming Attorney General, Schneiderman served in the New York State Senate.Schneiderman came from the New York state Senate, which is FILLED with corrupt Democrat Party thugs [Dean G. Skelos, the former majority leader of the New York Senate was found guilty of federal corruption charges on Friday, December 11, 2015], and succeeded lawless Fascist NY thug-governor Andrew Cuomo, who in turned succeeded Eliot "Felony-Boy" Spitzer.
Schneidermna is a partisan Democrat hack, and a lawless thug, like his predecessors. :) LOL!
Many of Trump’s business venture seem to have an air of improvisation and make do about them and align him with dodgy business partners. This is excellent experience in preparation for a career in politics.
Now you gone and done it.
I’ll be tossing and turning all nigh...zzzzzZZZZZZzzzzzz
