"Right on the heels of a week of bad press over his scam school, Trump University, Donald Trump is facing yet another round of accusations that he is in the habit of making people big promises to get something out of them, and then refusing to hold up his end of the bargain.

Steve Reilly of USA Today, in a thoroughly researched expose of Trump’s business practices, found literally hundreds of people who say that they did work for Trump in the past and, when the bill came due, he simply refused to pay for much or all of it. If they sued to get their money, Trump simply wore them out in court, using his greater assets to tie them up so long they gave up lest they go bankrupt trying to settle a single bill.

“The number of companies and others alleging he hasn’t paid suggests that either his companies have a poor track record hiring workers and assessing contractors,” Reilly writes, “or that Trump businesses renege on contracts, refuse to pay, or consistently attempt to change payment terms after work is complete as is alleged in dozens of court cases.”

Reilly found 60 lawsuits against Trump for refusal to pay his bills. He also found that Trump’s businesses have been cited 24 time by the Labor Department for failure to pay people. On top of that, there were 200 mechanic’s liens, which are filed when a person hires a contractor and then reneges on payment after the work is completed.

“On just one project, Trump’s Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, records released by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission in 1990 show that at least 253 subcontractors weren’t paid in full or on time, including workers who installed walls, chandeliers and plumbing,” Reilly writes." .....>

Maybe you prefer something from the Wall Street Journal?



no I want you to back up the assertion that Trump is a thief with some facts, besides his name being on the front door


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Taj_Mahal

The Trump Taj Mahal is a casino and hotel on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey, United States. The casino is owned by Trump Entertainment Resorts, a subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises,[2] and managed by Tropicana Entertainment.[3]


I suggest you take your NON Payment of Bills Complaint to Tropicana Entertainment ...
... I'm sure you will find a couple of wiseguys there to assist you



oh and why no mention of the Money Laundering ?
[from the same wiki article above]


In February 2015, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network settled an investigation of Trump Taj Mahal with the assessment of a $10 million civil fine for "significant and long-standing money laundering violations" which were described as "willful and repeated" contraventions of the record-keeping and reporting requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act.[36][37] The casino agreed to periodic external audits to comply with anti-money laundering statutes,[37] and admitted to multiple violations as part of its settlement.[38] The U.S. Treasury made note of casino violations dating back to 1998, when Trump Taj Mahal paid a $477,700 fine for violating currency transaction requirements, as well as violations in 2003, 2010, and in 2012, for which the company was "repeatedly warned". Trump Taj Mahal was "far from meeting" standards required to protect the U.S. financial system "from exploitation from criminals, terrorists, and other bad actors", the Treasury said in a press release.[37]

In February 2016, Trump Entertainment Resorts exited bankruptcy and became a subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises. The casino retained the name "Trump Taj Mahal", though Donald Trump no longer held any ownership stake.[39] Shortly thereafter, an agreement was announced for the Taj Mahal to be managed by another Icahn affiliate, Tropicana Entertainment.[40] Icahn also stated he would withhold a planned $100-million investment into the property if New Jersey approved casinos in the northern region of the state.[41]

Gurps you seem to be a past and post man here are some things to ponder.



http://crooksandliars.com/2015/09/documentary-donald-trump-didnt-want-you


1988, business mogul Leonard Stern commissioned a television documentary to be made about Donald Trump, but the film was never aired because Trump managed to prevent its circulation.

“He did everything he could to suppress this documentary,” producer Libby Handros said. “And back in the day when we made the film, there were only a handful of networks. You had a few independent entities, but everything was controlled by big corporations, the three networks. And Donald was threatening lawsuits and stuff and they just didn’t need to take that on, even if the lawsuit would have no merit in the end.”

The documentary, Trump: What’s the Deal? is now available to be streamed online here.
“Now that Trump is running for president, it is time for the American people to meet the real Donald and learn how he does business. The old Trump and the new Trump? They’re the same Trump,” notes the film’s website.

Trump: What’s the Deal? chronicles the real-estate developer and presidential hopeful’s rise to power. His self-described “addiction” to acquiring cash and real estate drove him to build developments in Manhattan, Atlantic City, Palm Beach, and Los Angeles. He skirted the law on multiple occasions throughout his career, underpaying his workers, associating with mob bosses, committing union fraud, harassing tenants, and ignoring environmental regulations, yet managed to evade legal retribution.

“It’s the American dream gone berserk,” actor Christopher Reeves jokes in the film.


Often Trump’s developments were unprofitable, but he kept acquiring new properties anyway, continuing his construction projects with a Sarah Winchester-like delusion. His perpetual publicity stunts and position as the “poster child for 1980s greed” kept his image as “the people’s billionaire” afloat for a while, but he eventually began facing criticism for his antics from the media. The film delves into his tumultuous personal affairs, stubborn business behavior and descent into bankruptcy, ending with the introduction of his Monopoly-esque board game, Trump: The Game, which parodies his attitude toward life with the motto: “It’s not whether you win or lose, but whether you win!

Welfare slugs like TJ and BB have no idea what it's like in the world of commercial contracting..especially construction. Their inane comments are perfectly in line with those of the moronic writers that contribute to the far-left rag, Salon.

You dumb little ####stain, subcontractors are paid by prime contractors, not the one having the work done. Just another piece of baseless bull#### and lies, because you little freeloaders are scared the money train is going to stop running through your hood. You had better bone up on those burger flipping skills...
