"SNIP...........
WASHINGTON Canadian courses for Trump University were taught by a couple who used aliases, declared multiple bankruptcies, lost a real-estate licence and were sanctioned by securities regulators over a multimillion-dollar swindle, according to documents reviewed through a joint investigation by The Canadian Press and The Associated Press.
..........
The AP has already reported that Trump University staff and speakers included at least four convicted felons, including a Florida cocaine-trafficker and a former army sergeant court-martialled for sexually assaulting a fellow soldier's eight-year-old daughter. Half the 68 former staffers whose backgrounds the AP reviewed had personal bankruptcies, home foreclosures, credit card defaults, tax liens or other indicators of significant money troubles.
The news agency also has records showing Canadian courses taught by people with aliases for Ravindra Dave, 59, and Chandramattie Dave, 55, of Mississauga, Ont. spouses who came to Canada from Guyana decades ago and whose various names appear in federal bankruptcy and provincial securities records.
The spouses have filed for personal bankruptcy at least four times since 2001 twice by him, and twice by her, according to Industry Canada records. Public documents list at least nine different names for the couple, mainly combinations mixing the order of their first, middle and last names.

I looked but didn't see anything.
Just thinking there may be a better chance for justice in Canada.

(62,407 posts)3. apparently they held classes in Canada - Toronto and another city
Just hoping he was in a bind up there also. I have more faith in their judicial system.

in Canada are trying. But it isn't perfect either.
