fraud. He's also a fool for thinking he could get away with it.

Seems to me, unless they can prove trump knew and approved this plan, the company avoided very little tax -- It's share of Medicare taxes on wages (since it is likely Weisselberg paid salary exceeded the FICA cap).

But if they can come up with a way to bankrupt the company and trump, and lock him up, I'll do a happy dance.
