I'll bet Don Junior and Young Jared are crapping their pants right about now; especially

That's a little different from a civil suit for stealing millions of dollars via their "charity" and for opening that fake "university." They know they're in deep shit but probably think they can somehow skate out of it like usual, but I don't think they will this time. I'm the biggest cynic I know, but this just feels different.
