act. the law makes it a crime in the united states for american businesses to knowingly pay bribes to foreign government officials. not only is trump on record against it. it s a horrible law. it should be changed. he s specifically against it in india. it s fine for india. to prosecute. but for this country to prosecute because something took place in india is outrageous. government reforms cut back on corruption in india. consider this context. two of the trump organizations largest partners in india have been under investigation for money laundering. but different agencies of the indian government. both investigations stalled after trump became president. it could be because donald trump who is the business partner is suddenly now president of the united states. or it could be something internal within india. both partners have close ties as
multiple lawsuits in ft. lauderdale. most were settled. terms are secret. in the two suits that went to trial, jurors were shown the perspectives which identified the developer as someone other than trump. trump won. the trumps didn t require them to be successful to earn money. because trump got a fixed fee from the developer who license td his name. and millions more as the condo sales were completed. oec even if the building went bankrupt. if they failed they would make money and say we weren t the developer. we were never the developer. that was made clear. we were just the licenser. we re not responsible for the loss. there were big losses. deposits lost and no buildings completed. in baja, ft. lauderdale, and tampa. bankrupts in panama and toronto. in the bankrupt buildings more

how? a big part of the answer, licensing. somebody else decides to build a building. they say if i put trump s name on it i ll sell the condos easily. and get more attention. we ll pay you a fee to put your name on it. those trump buildings in panama, toronto. and mexico. all licensed properties. donald trump started licensing his name around the turn of the century. it was easy money. he didn t have access to capitol in barngs anymore. because of the failures banks lost money. here s an opportunity to sign his name and get paid up front. who made deals and what were the terms? that s where things begin to get fuzzy.
what happened to the trump building in toronto. everyone lost money except trump. yeah. that s ultimately the main revelation. that we walked away with. everyone lost money but trump. it s the bottom line. again and again. he gained, others lost. take panama. how much did he make? piecing together fragments of information. probably between 30 million and $55 million. it went bankrupt. everybody else lost. he walks away with $50 million. everybody else lost. and trump earned 30 to $50 million.
