Kushner family files "multiple false documents" in New York. And they SEEMED so HONEST.
Kushner family filed false documents on New York City properties to reap millions in profits: report
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/03/kushner-family-filed-false-documents-new-york-city-properties-reap-millions-profits-report/
The report states that the Kushner’s real estate companies bought “three apartment buildings in a gentrifying neighborhood of Queens in 2015,” and that “most of the tenants were protected by special rules that prevent developers from pushing them out, raising rents.”
Two years later, Associated Press reports, all three buildings were sold for $60 million — nearly 50 percent more than the purchase price.
“The Kushner Cos. routinely filed false paperwork with the city declaring it had zero rent-regulated tenants in dozens of buildings it owned across the city when, in fact, it had hundreds,” the report states, taking pains to note that Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, did not sign the documents.
“It’s bare-faced greed,” explained Aaron Carr, Housing Rights Initiative founder, who compiled the documents and handed them over to AP. “The fact that the company was falsifying all these applications with the government shows a sordid attempt to avert accountability and get a rapid return on its investment.”
