With lawsuits pending and shady partners, Trump's business empire could not withstand the scrutiny of a presidential campaign, and even his kids might have been muddied.
Editor's Note, 8/10/15: Four years ago, Wayne Barett reported shady business deals ahead of Trump's flirtation with a White House run. After first exposing Trump’s ties to organized crime in his 1992 book, Barrett looked into his most recent business dealings and discovered the following:
One associate who was an "unindicted co-conspirator" in a massive 2000 stock swindle-and escaped prison only by helping to convict 19 others, including six members of New York crime families.
Two associates who served prison time on cocaine charges
Another partner prosecuted for trafficking underage girls after a dramatic helicopter raid on a yacht off the Turkish coast.
A pending lawsuit against Trump Soho that alleges daughter Ivanka, among others, made fraudulent misrepresentations

You're the one tracking mud into FR with this crap. Go clean your dirty boots.
They have nothing on Trump.He’s a big businessman and where are all these spurned business dealmakers?
Trumpophiles really can dish it out but they sure can’t take it.
1) “Associates” you mean like employees? He has 34K employees with turnover over the past years he may have many more.
2) Only one lawsuit claiming “misrepresentation”?
Oh my god! Someone who Trump knew snorted coke! Unlike George W. Bush.
Any republicans who believe this should be ashamed. The media always use guilt by association with republicans, but never with democrats
Trump is a straight edger (no drugs or alcohol consumption). We elected W Bush twice and the man was a party boy.
If Trump is the Republican candidate watch
it come out. Video, documentaries etc!!!
Trashing Trump is the only thing they have, because they know he’s right on the issues that matter most to America....
IMMIGRATION
TRADE
JOBS
Glad to see you and your commonsense are still around.
Read the article and find out.
No, there are lots more claiming fraud that Trump settled.
That’s just what was in the article.
If I were a Trump supporter I’d be scouring the internet for every piece of dirt out there about him.
I’d be researching it to be certain it will not come up to bite us in the butt if he’s the nominee. You know the Democrats are doing it right now.
It SEEMS reasonable to think if there were something really bad the libs would have it by now. But reasonable isn’t how they play.
Forewarned is forearmed.
SOME people get it!

Why should I read further when the introduction is so obviously skewed to make a mountain out of a molehill?
It is called "doing business". Trump sues and the other party counter sues and claims misrepresentation.
“If I were a Trump supporter I’d be scouring the internet for every piece of dirt out there about him.”
Do you do that for your candidate? Why Not? There is ‘dirt’ and there is fact....as in convictions. BIG business always has law suits, etc. Only politicians and government employees or the willingly led don’t know that.
Wayne Barrett! The old sleazy Village Voice muckraker who never met a conservative/Republican politician he didn’t try and destroy. But he’s too late for The Donald. NH is tomorrow.
