(7,675 posts)14. Typically mob busiessess skim profits, sell stock out the back door and load the company with debt
then flush it down the toilet leaving suppliers holding the bag
Bankruptsy is part of the gangsters' business model and Trump is a gangster
He puts in seed money, attracts investors, charges a huge licence, and management fees then pulls his cash and offloads the day to day to subcontractors and leaseholders who take it in the neck when the whole falls through the ice
He's also an expert in using lawsuits to extort favorable zoning for his projects and punish local politicians who don't give him what he wants
A couple of times lawsuits have also put cash settlements into his pockets for doing nothing but going to court

Yea, it does seem very fishy. Seems like someone wants to stay in the spotlight.
