In reply to the discussion: Black farmers were deliberately sold 'fake seeds' in scheme to steal their land: repo [View all]Snake Plissken
(4,103 posts)The suit alleges that black farmers who attended the 67th Annual Mid-South Farm & Gin Show at the Memphis Cook Convention Center in March of last year bought more than $100,000 worth of Stine seeds. But the "certified" seeds the growers had paid for were switched with inferior ones at a warehouse near Sledge, Mississippi, according to the suit.
This was more than likely a situation where a sleazy salesman no different than Trump, specially targeted people who he felt would not have the means to come after him, in this case poor Black farmers, and baited them with high yield seed but switched it with seed that was primarily garbage that did not pass quality control and was targeted for disposal.
This is no different than Trump's fake university scam, where he targeted people in need of money specifically poor people who he felt would not have the resources or ability to fight in in court with a bait and switch scam.
