How a Trump University ‘coach’ ripped off a student for $230,000 as part of a massive Ponzi scheme

We haven’t heard much about Trump University lately — mostly because it’s been overshadowed by other Trump scandals and controversies — but it’s not going away anytime soon.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting that a Pittsburgh woman named Melissa Norris fell prey to a Ponzi schemer and convicted criminal who also just happened to be a “coach” at — you guessed it — Trump University.

Norris, who is a plaintiff in a lawsuit against Trump University, paid $17,000 to attend a seminar where she met a “coach” named Cary Beagley who was supposed to help her find investment opportunities, but who instead guided her money into a Ponzi scheme where she ended up losing $230,000.
