Trump to face new civil trial for duping investors with failed video phone

Donald Trump is set to face another civil trial for allegedly duping investors into putting money into a failed video phone. The trial relates to the activities of ACN Inc, a multilevel marketing firm, and is scheduled to start on 29 January, though the case might be pushed to a later date, reported Newsweek.

Four anonymous plaintiffs in the proposed class action accused Mr Trump, his children Donald Jr, Eric and Ivanka, and an affiliate of the Trump Organization of promoting ACN in exchange for millions of dollars in secret payments from 2005 to 2015. The plaintiffs said Mr Trump’s endorsement, including on episodes of his TV show The Celebrity Apprentice, conned them into thinking their investments would pay off.

ACN would charge $499 to clients to sell videophones and other goods, the plaintiffs alleged, in the lawsuit moved before Manhattan court in 2018. They said the real goal was for the Trumps to enrich themselves, including through the receipt of millions of dollars in secret payments from 2005 to 2015.

"Trump also told investors that he had ‘experienced the opportunity’ and ‘done a lot of research,’ and that his endorsement was ‘not for any money.’ Not a word of this was true," the lawsuit reportedly states. Earlier, the Trumps claimed they had no control over ACN, that Trump’s endorsement was simply his opinion and that the civil lawsuit – one of many they face – was politically motivated.

Gee, I'll invest in video phones when any smart phone that just about everyone has will do that already. I'll make billions. :lol:

A fool and his money are soon parted.

There is nothing there but innuendo and accusations.

The quotation marks are simply a way for the "journalist" to avoid a slander lawsuit.

See what I did there?

In case you missed it this is the important part. They were too stupid to dig deeper and most likely greedy slobs like Trump. 

 

The plaintiffs said Mr Trump’s endorsement, including on episodes of his TV show The Celebrity Apprentice, conned them into thinking their investments would pay off.

Now that's some deep investment research there.
