The New York Times Proves President Trump Is a Crook

By Jonathan Chait @ NYMag.com, Oct. 2

[...] That the Times presents these conclusions so baldly — accusing him of “outright fraud” in the first sentence — in the face of Trump’s famous litigiousness, is a testament to the power and clarity of its findings.

That is to say, Trump was in the money-inheriting business. And that business was essentially, and not just incidentally, illegal. The Times found 295 income streams created by Fred Trump for his son, many of them illegal on their face. The English language has terms for people who make large sources of money from illegal activity: criminals.

The article makes clear that Trump is safe from criminal prosecution largely because tax-law enforcement is weak, and many of his apparently illegal activities took place too long ago to prosecute now. That does not minimize his culpability in any moral sense though. It’s merely a testament to the general immunity from consequences that wealthy people enjoy, and regular people do not [....]

I know of these people and I know they are vicious pit bulls who don't give a damn who you are. I think they are on a collections quota, if not on commission as their behavior often strongly suggests:

The statute of limitations issue is explained here by David Cay Johnston @ 3:43. the state can go after him for civil tax fraud with no time limitations. And, as a matter of fact, they already did so in the past as regards two 1980's returns and The Donald lost both cases.

I've cued the embed of this video to start at 3:40 but the whole thing is worth watching because it includes Michael D'Antonio's comments as well:

New York Regulators Examine the Trump Family’s Tax Schemes

By Russ Buettner, Susanne Craig and David Barstow @ NYTimes.com, Oct. 4

New York City officials said on Thursday that they had joined state regulators in examining whether President Trump and his family underpaid taxes on his father’s real estate empire over several decades.

The announcement came in response to an investigation published this week in The New York Times that showed how Mr. Trump had participated in dubious tax schemes during the 1990s, including instances of outright fraud, that greatly increased the fortune he received from his parents.

“We are now just starting to pore through the information,” said Dean Fuleihan, the city’s first deputy mayor.

One type of tax that the city will examine is the real estate transfer tax. Officials said the extremely low valuations the Trump family placed on buildings that passed from Fred C. Trump to his children through trusts could have resulted in underpaid transfer taxes [.....]

Mr. Fuleihan said the scheme as described by The Times would have artificially driven down the profitability of Fred Trump’s buildings. And because city property taxes on rental buildings are based in part on profits reported by owners, All County would have had the effect of lowering the property tax burden [....]

Mr. Fuleihan said city and state agencies are cooperating on the effort. The State Department of Taxation and Finance announced on Wednesday that it was “pursuing all appropriate avenues of investigation.”

Another state agency is looking into whether tenants in Fred Trump’s rent-regulated apartments saw their rents unduly increased because the Trumps used the padded All County invoices to apply for rent increases, as The Times found [.....]

The agency can refer cases of landlords found to be submitting false receipts to the state attorney general [....]

A spokesman for the I.R.S. said the agency would not comment on whether it was taking any action in response to The Times’s investigation.

The inquiries will explore whether civil penalties and bills for back taxes are warranted. City officials said interest and penalties of up to 25 percent could be added to any unpaid taxes.
