Canada's highest court upholds ruling that Donald Trump did mislead investors

Source: Independent (U.K.)

A lawsuit alleging that Donald Trump and a real estate development firm misled investors, has been upheld by Canada's highest court.
 
Sarbjit Singh and Se Na Lee alleged they were sold units in Toronto's, Trump International Hotel, under false pretences.  The pair claimed they were misled to believe their investments would see returns ranging from 7.7 per cent to 20.9 per cent. Instead, they said they lost a combined C$1.2m (£732,810).
 
The Ontario Court of Appeal last year, sided with them in their case against Mr Trump, Talon International Development and former executives of that firm.

Of course this is just a win symbolically, since drumpf is a freaking criminal serial cheat and will never pay up.

I think all that will happen is that the organization will have to pay the fine.


But I am pretty sure the Untied States would have to wave his immunity. which is not going to happen.

He has even less expertise in government but he is focused on his personal benefit.

Well, he probably wishes his fat ass would have come off from all the lying.

Hey, maybe that's why he lies so much.

A plethora of well-sourced, verified information documenting beyond a shadow of a doubt that dump was a con man and compulsive liar was READILY available before the election (even though the corporate media put the shine on this stooge). You were either too lazy to do your job as a citizen and adequately inform yourself, or you were a gullible mark who bought in to the con.

Now you are getting screwed by the con being a con. Unfortunately, the rest of us will suffer.
