    trump just paid out 25 million to people he ripped off through his scam of a university.

    2 days before becoming president

    • Go Team Trump!utopian
    • hell to payvero_vandal
    • 6000 students at 25k per student tuition = 150 million swindled.

      trump settles for 25 million.
      trump made 125 million.
      swindling bigly.
      unpresidented.

    • Lol, if you read the details of the "scam" just another debasing of Trump, he offered full refunds of 30% of the 3 day seminar, the others waited and sued laterrobotron3k
    • I'm sure many would like to sue their accredited universities for lack of employment or skills after graduating,robotron3k
    • But I believe his only "crime" was that he called it a "University" and he later changed the name.robotron3k
    • Let me ask you this robo. If it were you and your money, what would you do?kona
    • Full refunds of 30% of the seminar's value is not a full refund. Someone needs to head back to maths class! Sad!BuddhaHat
    • Asking people to pay for a University that isn't a University is a scam.lowimpakt
    • Actually 32% of the Real Estate students were given full refunds, details here http://truthinmedia.…robotron3k
    • so 68% of Real Estate students either didn't get all or any of the money they were owed for this scam. Tell me again, how is that a full refund?BuddhaHat
    • His 'only' crime was selling 'University' courses and then trying not to call it a university. You're letting Don the Con off pretty light, robotard! Sad!BuddhaHat
    • The fact that he had to give refunds at ALL proves that his University was a total piece of shit scam. Settling the fraud case was admitting to it.monospaced
    • Trying to justify those facts is just your insane obsession with a funny man who has no integrity, and is stupid enough to think he can get away with this.monospaced
    • The problem was students were given the same information, the same education, the same opportunity, as everyone else and failed because they never took action.omg
    • That's not a scam, However I guess they did take action because they decided to sue instead of putting their knowledge to work.omg
    • That is an entirely false and misleading statement, omg. Just like the Trump university marketing materials. Very sad!BuddhaHat
    • You denying it doesn't make the facts false.omg
    • It would be nice to sue real "Universities" who don't get grads jobs, no?robotron3k
    • The students were given a chance to leave for a refund, never pressured to sign up for any additional courses.omg
    • They're not facts, omg, they're lies. Also, real universities actually teach courses, so that's a Trump supporter favourite; a false equivalency. Very sad!BuddhaHat
    • Applicants were pressured by Trump U. salespeople to contact their credit card companies to apply for additional credit to cover costs. That's sad, eh?!BuddhaHat
    • It also makes your statement about 'no pressure' a lie.BuddhaHat
    • They have the students claims on video “Through the Trump University training sessions, we never felt pressured to do anything we didn’t want to do...omg
    • ...sign for anything we didn’t want to sign, pay for anything we didn’t want to pay for. It was truly just offered.”omg

    • to be a "real university", you have to join the elitist club. until then you're not accredited.omg
    • Would you care to provide a link that contradicts Time magazine's evidence of aggressive and unethical sales practices? No evidence is just a lie! Sad!BuddhaHat
    • Now you're calling higher education institutions 'elitist' to justify this heinously unethical scam. Pathetic!BuddhaHat
    • Actually this article is quite scary because it's from time.com i thought had a little more credibility.omg
    • So, presently about 40% of the US population holds a college degree... so 40% of the country is 'elitist'? By definition elite is a 'small group of people'BuddhaHat
    • Elite would more accurately describe the country's top earners who your Pres-elect & GOP compadres want to give further tax cuts. Sad and pathetic defence omg!BuddhaHat
    • Especially when credit cards were pretty standard use in paying tuition in schools. Unless you actually carry that much cash on you.omg
    • Calling pre-enrolled students as "uneducated" is also frightening.omg
    • Your opinion of Time's credibility is meaningless without evidence to back up your claims. Very sad!BuddhaHat
    • The article mentions 'uneducated' once, in this context:BuddhaHat
    • "It preyed upon the elderly and uneducated to separate them from their money.”BuddhaHat
    • Are you being serious right now?omg
    • So you're either putting words in my mouth, or taking something in the article entirely out of context. So sad, I feel bad for you!BuddhaHat
    • I'm being approximately as serious as the accusations against Trump of corruption, sexual impropriety, lack of transparency, and utter incompetence.BuddhaHat
    • Just not sure why you think this article is relevant. Instead it confirms and strengthens my understanding of MSM to be incredibly fake.omg
    • Again, your interpretation of what is and isn't true is entirely meaningless in the absence of evidence to support your claims. Very sad, omg!BuddhaHat
    • Why don't you just take the words straight out of Don the Con's mouth, and say 'FAKE NEWS!'BuddhaHat
    • Holy shit you're a fucking idiot, omg. A monumental stooge. A patsy. You've fallen for his every word. So sad!BuddhaHat
    • It's just good to know that they're salvaging everything into a Trump Entrepreneur Initiativeomg
    • http://www.politico.…omg
    • I guess what constitutes as common sense, is not common sense for everyone, especially BuddhaHatomg
    • Are you posting that link like it's a good thing the Pres-Elect finally copped to gross malfeasance prior to taking office? He's a 2-bit con artist. So sad!BuddhaHat
    • He can try and sell seats for the Trump Entrepreneur Iniative, no problem. See, he's not lying and calling it a university? The only people that will still signBuddhaHat
    • up are the same people who were stupid/hateful enough to vote for him in the first place. After all this coverage, I can't see classes selling out! Sad!BuddhaHat
    • Your 'common sense' post is devoid of meaning for everyone except perhaps you.BuddhaHat
    • Go on, have another swing at it, I'll set it up for you: http://i.imgur.com/s…BuddhaHat
    • It's not fake. This is his settlement omg. For class action level fraud charges. Fucking idiots don't even realize it wasn't even a real University. Morons.monospaced
