Unsurprisingly Trump is proven to be a fraud in business. The Trump Org is headed for dissolution. He's about to get hit with 250 million in fines. It's getting rough on the old dude. I guess everyone gets what they deserve eventually.

BUT, what about Festered Uncle's point, below, as well as his assertion (admittedly exaggerated) in post #9,
Who was harmed?

The banks were big boys and I'd be surprised if they didn't do their due diligence, since they knew what happened to the Donald's creditors in the 1990's.
However, Blackman, you're the lawyer and we're not. Do you think he'll actually have to fork over $250 million for this?
