1. GREAT ONE lie caught!!!!!! NOW

Only probably 1000 to go!!!!

[PeeJ52]

2. Ooppsies....

Do overs?
Of course. He's rich!
And why is he rich? He cheats!

[NCjack]

3. It was a simple mistake -- I make it myself all the time.

On his broker's trading page, he entered the stock symbol, selected "buy" instead of "sell", and accidentally bought another 50,000 shares. The transaction was so small that he failed to see the mistake.

25. LOL

[Tommy_Carcetti]

4. He's reportedly facing a maximum sentence of being forced to serve as a Jeff Dunham puppet.

[PeeJ52]

7. That's the guy that reminds me of Elliot Abrams...

[stopwastingmymoney]

13. Haha!

Lucky I wasn't drinking anything

[C_U_L8R]

5. Let me guess... Bank of Cyprus

aka the money laundering epicenter of the Russian mob

[erronis]

6. And my guess is that his "wealth" is like the trumpsters - tied up in roubles

And hard to divest in the real marketplace.

Now if only donnie and mcTurtle would get those damn sanctions lifted, poor little wilbur could buy some decent slippers.

[ck4829]

24. Just some little place in the Cayman Islands

[Honeycombe8]

8. Is he going to be charged with a crime? Or at least fined a few million $$$?

Has he now sold it?

[Duppers]

9. LHM...

Lock him up. He knowingly broke the law.

10. Forbes Just Deleted Trump's Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross From Its Billionaires List. Here's Why

From a couple of years ago:

http://money.com/money/5013112/wilbur-ross-net-worth-forbes-2-billion-transfer/

“After examining the financial-disclosure forms he filed after his nomination to President Donald Trump’s Cabinet,” Forbes reporter Dan Alexander writes, Ross’s net worth now appears to be less than $700 million.

Old Wilbur seems to lie about his net worth just like Trump does.

[Scarsdale]

11. Isn't lying about everything a requirement

to join this administration? What a homely little gnome he is.

[watoos]

12. The old fart

Laundered money at the bank of Cyprus.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. I'll do my best Mr. Ed; "Wiillberr... whataya thinkin'?"

Lock him up. I don't care if he's old. He knows the rules. Probably been doing illegal shit since he was 20.

[Johnny2X2X]

15. They can't help themselves.

They just can’t. These greedy fucks cannot resist gaming the system to make a buck.

[dlk]

16. Lock Him Up!

[kimbutgar]

17. It just doesn't matter to the cult

Ross is a repuke and a billionaire. They don't care he is a self serving liar and opportunist who pays a lower tax rate them they do.

[Progressive2020]

18. Wilbur Ross

Looks like the Simpson's character Mister Burns come to life. He is a human cartoon. Get rid of the super-rich. Get them out of government, get them out of politics, and tax them heavily to pay back the society that they exploited to become so rich in the first place.

[edits for readability]

[Takket]

19. nothing will happen to him.......

like kushner he'll just be allowed to "correct" an "innocent mistake" and go one with destroying the country

[truthisfreedom]

20. Sounds like a fun cold open for SNL this Saturday

[WhoWoodaKnew]

21. $3,700 isn't enough to make people care. They need to find much more on him.

[noneof_theabove]

22. like usual for white collars

nothing will happen.

maybe a back room recital to the Orange Traitor of thoughts and prayers for all the he fucked with the tax break.

One mom/pop has reported last year was $4000 return, this year a $3000 short, so that is $7000 they lost.
