Tarla Makaeff poses in her home in Irvine, Calif. Makaeff is the lead plaintiff in a fraud claim lawsuit against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's now-defunct Trump University. During the Republican debate on Thursday, March 3, 2016, Trump's rivals attacked him for allegedly preying on people who enrolled in Trump University's real estate investment seminars and for hiring unqualified instructors, a key contention in the lawsuit.

When you buy something there is usually have a grace period in which to could request a refund. Once you’re past that date, you can’t request a refund. Buyers remorse years later is ridiculous

So, for clarity: this suit that dominated a debate and is a cornerstone of anti-Trump politicking will now consist of a ‘class’ of three plaintiffs. Three.

Hangs in there for 6 years taking abuse and then wants to leave in final weeks? Something isn’t right.

So this class-action suit started with 6 people, 2 have already dropped and this lady now wants to make it 3,,out of how many Trump U students?

Trump said he could have settled but he wants this to go to trial. Maybe this lady is seeing she is not going to get the payoff she was trying to extract.

Oh well.

she looks non-guilty but I’d like to see more evidence, more revealing information, to be sure

She's the one who started this.

And Trumps seminars had an A rating until the lawsuit. Then they solicited former "students" and they knocked it down to a D cuz all of a sudden they got 23 complaints??

Trump filed a suit against her saying she was malicious. The court found that she was NOT malicious in her suit and her lawyer did very well in the settlement. Well, she was. Now she wants to opt out...probably because she had made a video praising the seminars....before her suit.

The whole thing is a "sue the deep pockets" example.

Remember, evidence is irrelevant, it's the seriousness of the charge.

For the left, all that matters is that the charge was made...

Except when the charge is against one of theirs...ie Hillary, and ALL her scandals...then it's just a right wing conspiracy.

Plaintiffs in class action lawsuits do absolutely nothing. They have no expenses. The lawyers do all the work. She might have to give 1 deposition and produce her paperwork related to the course. She is quitting the case because she’s a terrible plaintiff. She has the nerve to try and blame her quitting on Trump. Probably the lawyers want to find a better plaintiff. The idea that thousands of people are suing Trump is ridiculous. It is just the lawyers and they just need one or two friendly plaintiffs. In the end, the lawyers end up with all the money. Everyone who has ever gotten a class action lawsuit notice in the mail or an email should realize this. You end up getting $0.50 and the court authorizes 20 million dollars for the lawyers.

Oh it was ok when no one knew who she was, now being bought out and proved a liar, she’s not to interested now, so she pulled back...

Trump knows what he is doing, you don’t settle, go to court, most of the time, people will back off, and this is exactly what she is doing...

Way.To.Go.Trump!!!

Sounds like to me that Tarla Makaeff just wasn't able to learn. Looks like the course was not to blame but a poor idiot student is the problem. Same thing in our current higher education facilities, some students are just goof offs.

The claim is that Trump U promised to teach real estate investing and the plaintiffs claim that didn’t happen. It seems to me that should be easy to determine. How many students were there versus how many claim they weren’t taught. This sounds to me like a few people didn’t or couldn’t learn.

The Better Business Bureau said Tuesday that it rated Trump University a D- in 2010, which improved to A+ by January 2015 as the business appeared to wind down

Of course the article doesn't disclose what the ratings were in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, etc. where according to screenshots from internet archiving sites they were B's, C's, etc. And the total number of complaints was low, with most of them resolved to the satisfaction of the complaining consumer.
