Trump broke United State Laws

[UCmeNdc]

A company controlled by Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president, secretly conducted business in Communist Cuba during Fidel Castro’s presidency despite strict American trade bans that made such undertakings illegal, according to interviews with former Trump executives, internal company records and court filings.

Documents show that the Trump company spent a minimum of $68,000 for its 1998 foray into Cuba at a time when the corporate expenditure of even a penny in the Caribbean country was prohibited without U.S. government approval. But the company did not spend the money directly. Instead, with Trump’s knowledge, executives funneled the cash for the Cuba trip through an American consulting firm called Seven Arrows Investment and Development Corp. Once the business consultants traveled to the island and incurred the expenses for the venture, Seven Arrows instructed senior officers with Trump’s company—then called Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts—how to make it appear legal by linking it after the fact to a charitable effort.

Trump lied to Cuban Americans when Trump said he did not support Fidel Castro.

2. Seven Arrows was just another of Trump's "charitable" slush funds set up to skirt the Law

Unbelievable!

1. I was curious about Trump's Seven Arrows Investment Co
http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19941119&slug=1942620

While googling I came across this article from 1994 about some other Seven Arrows activities. It strikes me as confusing but it seems from this article that Trump (fraudulently?) bid against himself through Seven Arts to either drive a price up (or down) or force a deal. Something seems fishy for sure.

We discussed this a bit here:

I did not connect the point of Seven Arrows to this casino business at fist glance. Until I re-read C_U_L8R's post & link.

So the next question is:
How many other Native Casinos in the US also were scammed by Trump & Seven Arrows?

And Trump pays NO TAXES to this country.
I am so pissed yet very glad this is all unravelling. Had Trump not run for US President, he would have continued to operate with such deceit completely undetected.

6. Yes, this is a strange set of circumstances. All of the same Trump players acting like they play for

different teams.

A crook, Trump is a crook.

9. That he took such a winding way to conduct this business proves he knew it was illegal.
