The government’s star witness against Trump will be his ex lawyer Michael Cohen, who knows where Trump’s financial skeletons are buried. Any unreported foreign banks accounts has their own penalties under FBAR. I know as I need to report all my foreign bank accounts every year in detail. So no Paphitis, your legal experiences is not the same what awaits Trump after January 20th.
Oh dear! Is that it?
You can’t hide taxes but under reporting. Gee you have your work cut out for you.
It is enough for Trump to be shit scared as he is trying desperately to steal the election he has lost.
I don’t think he is scared. He’s seen worse than this.
Fraud is very difficult to prove. Courts don’t do trial by media.
When I was audited I was accused of fraud as well. They always use these buzzwords. It’s like when you get pulled over by a zealous power hungry cop.
If you keep your mouth shut, the fraud quickly becomes accounting errors so you pay a small fine. That’s presuming they have something which in trumps case they might have stuff all and the media have fabricated it just like they have declared the presidential winner.
Legal jargon is designed to intimidate and scare your opponent. Often, it’s a game of poker.
Signed returned tax documents are always under penalty of perjury. As long as the government has these signed documents and their star witnesses against Trump, not even God can save him. We are not talking about some silly amount being mis calculated, but deliberate attempt to defraud the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
there can be no star witness that can prove intent of perjury or otherwise unless Trump admits to it.
It might be silly to you, but the amounts in a typical Trump Corporation tax return would be in the hundreds of millions. So miscalculations of a few million can happen.
Let's say he turnover 500 million in revenue, his expenses were 400 million but claimed 402 million. The 2 million is a large amount to a normal person. Even quite astonishing. But it isn't even 0.5%
So if the media are claiming 2 million worth of fraud, it is likely a very big stretch and wishful thinking.
And what it boils down to is the Trump Corp cheating the Government about half a million. I bet Trump spend more than that at his Christmas party so it aint a big problem. One little signed cheque solves all the problem.
the problem is proving perjory. They might try. But the chances of proving it are nil!
