Trump University lawsuits settled for $25 million




Thousands of former Trump University students will get most of their money back, with a judge on Friday approving a $25 million settlement.

"The settlement is fair, adequate, and reasonable," Judge Gonzalo Curiel said in his decision.

Nearly 4,000 former students submitted claims and those who are eligible could get back about 90% of their money.

The settlement was agreed to last November, just 10 days after Donald Trump won the presidential election, but still needed court approval.

Justice for this group.

1. A 90% Refund? That's all? There should be some punitive damages as well, oughtn't there?

[rsdsharp]

4. This was a settlement

not a judgment. It's an amount agreed to by the parties, and in the case of a class action such as this, approved by the court. So, no, there wouldn't be punitive damages.

5. Ah ... thanks for the clarification.

2. "Uncle Vlad? Hi, it's me The Donald. You got an extra $25 mil lying around?"

"Sure, Donaldski. But what's in it for me?"

"Poland?"

3. Good. That ought to make Trump's Friday a little more miserable.

6. The SOB will probably get a really sizable tax write off and still

at 90% payback pockets 10% of the total. And, the people who were misled are still out their time, travel expenses and knowing they have been had by this two bit charlatan.

7. And the rest, he'll just get his Uncle Vlad to cover.

Let's just hope the quid doesn't outweigh the pro too much.

9. how did that con man ever get to be POTUS?

Trump U. took money from the widows of the Iraq selling them "Well, you
now need a home based business and selling real estate with the Trump
method will help you and your kids."


But really what about HRC's email server?

10. I ask myself that every day.

I will always be in a state of disbelief about who is in the WH. It's like a bad dream.

12. They have a Con Men Brotherhood.

It is usually called The Republican Party.

11. Imagine the price he'll pay for lying to 324 million Americans.
