Lawsuit Charging Trump Family with Pyramid Scheme Will Be Publicly Litigated
Apr 10, 2020

The Trump family has lost a massive legal fight in federal court that sought to keep details of a racketeering and conspiracy lawsuit against the family a secret. The claims against President Trump and his adult children will now likely be litigated publicly. The class action suit was originally filed in October 2018, alleging the Trump family and their family-owned business promoted and endorsed a multilevel marketing, or pyramid scheme, called ACN Opportunity, LLC. Plaintiffs describe the failed enterprise as a “get-rich-quick scheme” that forced victims to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars under the false promise of success.

4. Barr will Muellerize and bury it.

That's what he was installed at "Justice" for.

5. So when does Barr step in?

11. Right after Hell freezes over. Not a second before. n/t

19. Pretty sure he can't get involved in a civil suit

But I am not a legal authority of any sort, nor have I ever played one on TV.

[gratuitous]

6. Looks like a civil lawsuit brought by the folks defrauded in the scheme

Which means that William Barr has nothing to do with the suit.

8. Best thing about it!

[Brother Buzz]

13. That, and the judge that rejected the orange anus' efforts to quietly send the case into arbitration

24. Correct, but the headline writer uses "charging" to confuse the issue

Which is pretty scuzzy.

25. good

It is time to see this grifting family brought to their knees

29. Damn straight.

Bet fathead Barr didn’t think this would happen.

16. When we finally get rid of Donnie bodybags, whether Inauguration Day or sooner, I hope he and his

whole I clan of grifters spend the rest of their lives in courtrooms and prison.

26. Why waste money on housing

and feeding them? Just deport them Russia so they can worship Putin in person. Once out of office and out of the country, I am sure there are other countries that would deny them entry due to their international crimes.

[niyad]

28. Thank you. That makes much more sense.

[bucolic_frolic]

18. the word "likely"

means other things can happen I guess. I'll believe it when I see it

Sorry for all the deletes. I posted and reposted and it never completed, at least on my end. But it was going through all the time even if my access appeared blocked to me.

20. A big victory for some plaintiffs who got fleeced in a Ponzi scheme

21. Any chances they settle out of court?

After all, I'm sure that there is a big fat stimulus check with their name on it. Or, some of his rich donors will pony up the money.

[3Hotdogs]

22. How many plaintiffs are there. They would all have to agree to a settlement if

an open hearing is to be avoided.

Unfortunately, they may win, but good luck trying to collect unless property gets a lien on it.

33. Nice daydream. Barr will never let it happen. NT

[paleotn]

34. ? He has no choice...

Last I heard, the AG has no control whatsoever over the federal court system. I think I read that somewhere...like the Constitution.

[smirkymonkey]

35. +1000

[Mr.Bill]

36. They will settle out of court

with a stipulation that there is no admission of guilt and the amount will not be disclosed. No way this goes public in court.
