    My understanding is the not paying people is “legit” in that the remedy is the courts but his lawyers are good at making it too costly to pursue. If they believe they weren’t paid, they should sue: notice there are few judgements against him like that.

    It’s just like all his shell companies. During the first reign of terror, there were articles that they found over 500 companies with payments going back and forth so the web was impossible to decipher and there were always Trump owned companies with huge losses/writeoffs. I don’t remember them actually finding anything illegal but it sure smells like it. He even bragged it was so complex that the irs didn’t have enough auditors to dig through that for tax fraud. It was almost a dare. What happened to that?
