News reports listed TFG + family hotel/condo scams for years -- from ProPublica in 2018... [View all]

Bob Barr yesterday seemed shocked that NY AG Leticia James included "Trump kids" in her filing. Evidence in news reports for years revealed Donald, Don Jr., and Ivanka were especially active. This piece focused on TFG and Ivanka.

"A pattern of deception ran through the Trumps’ real estate deals since the mid-2000s. Not only were the Trumps more than the mere licensors they claimed to be, extracting millions in fees from nearly every facet of these projects, but they often misled buyers and investors on key information — such as the level of sales and the Trumps’ role and investment in the deals."

Dominican Republic 2007-2008 - TFG claims $365M in sales to WSJ; audit shows $290M in sales; project never built.

Fort Lauderdale 2006 - TFG claims units "pretty much sold out"; 62% sold; foreclosed, Trump name removed.

Las Vegas 2008 - Ivanka claims 90% sold; actual pre-sales were 79%; built, went bankrupt, Trump name removed.

NY Soho 2008 - Ivanka claims 60% sold; affadavit shows 15% sold; built, went bankrupt, Trump name removed.

Tampa 2007 - TFG claims "sold out" to WSJ; fewer than 70% sold; never built.

Toronto 2009 - Ivanka claims "virtually sold out"; built, went bankrupt, Trump name removed.
