SEC charges Trump Media’s independent accounting firm with 'massive fraud' The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Friday charged Trump Media & Technology Group’s independent accounting firm BF Borgers with fraud, accusing the firm of operating a “sham audit mill,” CNN reports. According to a press release from the SEC, “BF Borgers agreed to pay a $12 million civil penalty” for “deliberate and systemic failures to comply with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) standards in its audits.” Per the SEC press release, “Borders and his sham audit mill have been permanently shut down.” “Ben Borgers and his audit firm, BF Borgers, were responsible for one of the largest wholesale failures by gatekeepers in our financial markets,” said Gurbir S. Grewal, Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. “As a result of their fraudulent conduct, they not only put investors and markets at risk by causing public companies to incorporate noncompliant audits and reviews into more than 1,500 filings with the Commission, but also undermined trust and confidence in our markets. Because investors rely on the audited financial statements of public companies when making their investment decisions, the accountants and accounting firms that audit those statements play a critical role in our financial markets. Borgers and his firm completely abandoned that role, but thanks to the painstaking work of the SEC staff, Borgers and his sham audit mill have been permanently shut down.” Trump Media, which owns Trump’s Twitter-style social media company Truth Social, was not accused of wrongdoing.
Trump sure is one shady criminal. Trump audited for double-dipping tax breaks on Chicago’s Trump Tower ProPublica and the New York Times found the former president could end up owing the IRS more than $100 million for claiming the same massive losses twice on his namesake River North tower. https://chicago.suntimes.com/nation-world/2024/05/11/trump-tower-chicago-tax-breaks-audit
ProPublica and the New York Times are now accounting experts -- lol. The attacks on Trump continue. All political. But in the Democrats' minds, since they hate Trump, these persecutions of him are totally justified. They don't even know how badly using the legal system to attack a political opponent damages the integrity of our country.
What damages the integrity of the country is when the sitting president thinks violent rioters wanting to overturn an election have more courage than the vice president. Keep spewing bullshit
New York Times: Trump May Owe $100 Million From Double-Dip Tax Breaks, Audit Shows A previously unknown focus of an I.R.S. audit is a dubious accounting maneuver that effectively meant taking the same write-offs twice on a Chicago skyscraper. The issues around Mr. Trump’s case were novel enough that, during his presidency, the I.R.S. undertook a high-level legal review before pursuing it. The Times and ProPublica, in consultation with tax experts, calculated that the revision sought by the I.R.S. would create a new tax bill of more than $100 million, plus interest and potential penalties.
You know the part about this whole thing which saddens me the most? I was perusing X last night and reading posts asking for donations to Trump. I see tons of comments on these Xeets like "I don't have much, but I am donating what I can." To a billionaire grifter who doesn't give a damn about them. These poor brainwashed people are sacrificing for this con-artist.
Trump 'in breach of' order to pay £300,000 in UK court ruling: Steele dossier author In the U.K., former President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against British ex-spy Christopher Steele's company Orbis Business Intelligence, saying that Steele's claims about Trump were full of major inaccuracies. But the lawsuit didn't go well for Trump, who, earlier this year, was ordered to pay Steele £300,000 by the U.K. High Court. And according to Britain's Sky News, Trump has yet to make that payment. Steele told Sky News, "The fact is: We were awarded a £300,000 initial cost order in February, which was confirmed when his right of appeal was turned down at the end of March. And so, he's been in breach of that order for two months now." Steele is the author of the widely debated Steele Dossier, which has been highly controversial even among Trump's critics — some of whom have said that the document's allegations, including those claiming bribery, have not been verified. Steele, however, has maintained that he stands by his Steele Dossier. Sky News reports that in the U.K., Mrs. Justice Karen Steyn did "not make any judgment on the allegations but ruled" that Trump's "claim was invalid because it was filed after the six-year limitation period." Steele told Sky News that Trump's lawsuit is unjustified, arguing, "Cost is the key issue in all litigation, and particularly in what we call lawfare, which we think this is. It is an attempt to take vengeance against us or to keep us quiet"
Yes. At least P.T. Barnum didn't grift by making people perpetually angry and resentful of one another.
Donald Trump’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days continue, as Forbes reports that New Jersey’s attorney general is "weighing" whether or not he will revoke the liquor licenses of three of Trump’s golf clubs due to his conviction of 34 felonies. Trump is the sole owner of all three New Jersey golf clubs: Bedminster, Colts Neck, and Philadelphia.
