My bet is Eric - he's President of the Trump Corporation.

(115,661 posts)the named defendants are Weisselberg and the Trump Corporation d/b/a the Trump Organization. TFG (supposedly) resigned from management of the Trump Organization but he's still the sole owner. A few corporate veils will have to be pierced - the Trump Org seems to be a collection of Russian matryoshka dolls - but if a corporation can be said to be a person, it's the Trump Org.

(14,697 posts)This might be the guy they struck a deal with last week. He is another finance guy in t world.
If he has a deal, he won't be indicted.
They haven't worked up to the family yet. They are apparently building a case as a criminal enterprise (ny equiv of rico), which seems to be done in layers.

(14,697 posts)Every legal case I've seen with an unidentified person numbers them. If they don't know the identity, then it's john/jane doe and maybe a number if there is more than one, but if they know the name, they just give them a number and start at 1.
I don't think it in any way is reserved for tfg. But I'm not a lawyer and I'm not playing one here.
