Trump U staff included Canadian couple involved in fraud

WASHINGTON — Among the people with serious financial problems who taught for Trump University is a case that crossed international borders, an Ontario couple who securities regulators sanctioned over a multimillion-dollar fraud, according to documents reviewed through a joint investigation by The Associated Press and The Canadian Press.

Records show a husband-and-wife team who called themselves Dave Ravindra and Rita Bahadur taught a course for Trump's program on "Creative Financing" in Canada in 2010, shortly before his namesake real-estate seminars folded amid mounting complaints from former students and inquiries from U.S. regulators.

The names match known aliases used by Ravindra Dave, 59, and Chandramattie Dave, 55, according to Canadian authorities.

The Ontario Securities Commission concluded last year that the Daves defrauded numerous Canadian investors between 2009 and 2012. Records also show that "Dave Ravindra" was stripped of his license to practice real estate in Ontario in 2008, two years before he went to work for Trump University.
