From the link, RS quoting NYT:

Barry then joined with the other siblings to generate a series of scams to transfer the wealth without paying gift taxes.

“The Trumps’ plan, executed over the next decade, blended traditional techniques — such as rewriting Fred Trump’s will to maximize tax avoidance — with unorthodox strategies that tax experts told The Times were legally dubious and, in some cases, appeared to be fraudulent,” the report revealed. “As a result, the Trump children would gain ownership of virtually all of their father’s buildings without having to pay a penny of their own. They would turn the mountain of cash into a molehill of cash. And hundreds of millions of dollars that otherwise would have gone to the United States Treasury would instead go to Fred Trump’s children.”

Barry only gave a short statement when called for comment and refused to say more.
