A court-ordered financial auditor has caught Donald Trump quietly moving $40 million from the Trump Organization into a personal bank account—seemingly so the former president could pay his whopping $29 million tax bill.
Trump isn’t supposed to be moving any money around without alerting Barbara S. Jones, a former federal judge in New York tasked with babysitting the Trump Organization for its relentlessly shady business practices. But on Wednesday, she notified a New York state court about some major bank transfers that were never brought to her attention by the Trumps.
Watch how fast nothing continues to happen.
This is not because it’s Trump; it’s because the system was made so rich people do not face consequences.
What’s the punishment when a Billionaire violates a court order again? Oh that’s right, not a fucking thing.
Where’s Batman when you need him?
Since when has the goddamned Batman ever gone after billionaires?
Harley Sinn, Gregorian Flagstaff, possibly Everywhere Man, Lex Luther, probably Penguin, Ra’s al Ghul, Vandal Savage, Maxwell Lord, Simon Stagg.
Wait what? Trump intends to pay taxes?
You do not fuck with the IRS. They got Capone on tax evasion.
Before my life time, I see a bunch of spineless pushovers too cowardly to enforce the law.
I thought not paying taxes made him smart?
