Is grifting a grifter even wrong?

[-] Evilcoleslaw@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

It's already been done. One of the organizers got pardoned and the other is in federal prison.

... I wonder if it could work if you actually gave some of the money to Trump but keep most of it as a "salary" and "administrative fees"?

You mean like all those border wall go-fund-mes? I think a few of them went to prison and the rest got away.

$790,573 raised of $355,000,000 goal

After four days.

If the courts can just defer the judgment for another few days or weeks… or 4.8 years he’s all set!

Hey if they sustain this rate of participation the GoFundMe should satisfy the judgement in about 6.5 years according to my back of the napkin math. (Assuming the 9% interest compounds annually.)

My front of the napkin math says that with 9% interest compounded monthly, he would need to pay a little over $6 million per month for 6.5 years in order to pay off the $355 million judgment plus almost 32.5% more in interest.

I want that motherfucker so broke he can't even afford to buy a napkin to write on, let alone use to wipe his smarmy-ass mouth.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
