ProPublica dropped a *blockbuster* with ample evidence that the Trump Org may be cooking its books to seduce lenders and hoodwink tax authorities. My column outlining what is a long family tradition- started by Fred - of artful and problematic accounting: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
“Fred Trump, the president’s father, taught his son the art of dodging assessments, taxes and record keeping.”
“Allen Weisselberg was Fred’s accountant as well as Donald’s CFO, and he has an intimate familiarity with the details of all of this. He cooperated with federal prosecutors in their investigation of Cohen’s dealings, and Vogell’s reporting is bound to renew interest in him.”
“The Trump Organization has been at this game for a long time. When I interviewed Weisselberg in 2005 for a biography I wrote, “TrumpNation,” he told me that Trump valued 40 Wall Street at $400 million—at a time when it was assessed for property tax purposes at only $90 million.”
