"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." .....>
