Do the Trumps do anything without involving shady Russians?
Their partners on the project included two Soviet-born businessmen, Felix Sater and Tevfik Arif, who ran the Bayrock Group, a real estate development firm. Sater had a history of running afoul of the law. In 1993, he was convicted of assault and spent about a year in prison for attacking a man with the stem of a margarita glass in a bar fight. In 1998, he pleaded guilty to one count of racketeering for his role in a $40 million securities fraud scheme.
anyway - we're not shocked to learn at this point that the Trumps use deceptive practices. I guess my question about this failed attempt at prosecution is this: are other real estate developers who do this indicted? The article doesn't really give a sense of that. And it appears that the Trumps refunded their buyers' money and made a deal that those people accepted - rendering prosecution difficult if not impossible.
It's kind of pathetic the way that 45 trained his children to be liars, all in the name of getting richer or to avoid making Daddy mad.
I'm sure they're all telling the truth about everything now though.
