CuddleCryptid posted:I'm honestly wondering if there's going to be a point where they have to say "listen its not fraud because im just a dogshit businessman" or if he would rather just go to prison. He would never say that himself. He would have his lawyers say it for him and he would suspiciously never mention his business acumen during the trial. Then as soon as the trial was over, he would go back to calling himself the best businessman on the planet. Just like when his lawyer had to argue that a reasonable person would never believe him because he lies so much.

sexpig by night posted:brad has literally been stealing from the most powerful man in the world for years and before that he was just a nobody rich boy computer toucher, it's probably just stress and poo poo from, ya know, the crimes it also just came out that said powerful man isnt that rich and is in gently caress ton of debt with everyone basicaly and the only reason they didnt collect was because he was able to bluff and dodge and they wernt fully sure how deep he was in. so said powerful man is super loving mad and scared and is probably screaming at you on the phone too. How are u posted:I'm gonna guess Parscale believes that the house of cards is close to coming tumbling down, and that he'll be in *some* trouble when it does. Seems like the most obvious thing. possibly. i am curious if anymore of this type of poo poo will happen.

Boris Galerkin posted:I read the entire NYT article as quoted and one thing I don’t understand. The article talks about how you could declare say a $100M loss one year and use that to avoid paying $100M in taxes the upcoming years. The article also talks about how literally every single business Trump owns/ed including his casinos were reporting tens upon tens of millions in losses. And the article talks about how this was his entire MO: make a big payday and then declare losses and pay nothing in taxes and repeat. Obviously he didn’t plan any of it. That’s what you hire people to do. Trump is too busy doing locker room talk to take care of his business.

Boris Galerkin posted:Like, are all those businesses just terribly run and managed or did he keep buying and propping up lovely businesses to grift? Yes, that's exactly what it is. Trump doesn't have to plan it or even really understand it - once you reach a certain level of wealth in this country, or at least access to capital, there's an entire industry of very smart people who know the tax code better than the IRS does and all they do is find ways to facilitate tax dodging and financial crimes in ways that are "technically" legal. At least until you get audited but that's not really a threat either. His entire thing has been building or buying businesses that are allowed to crater so he can use that to avoid taxes on whatever profit he was able to squeeze out of them in the intervening period. It's not unique to Trump, lots of rich assholes stay rich this way but he's obviously the most prominent example. Mat Cauthon fucked around with this message at 02:25 on Sep 28, 2020 |

It’s very likely parscale was just on a bad bender. The entirety of that White House has a very strong drug abuse vibe. Hell, Larry kudlow had a thousands of dollars a day coke habit. Jr is clearly on hard drugs live in television.

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Silly question but how do you owe 100 million to IRS and not have them at your front step The problem is that rich people's taxes are really really complicated. They submit thousands of pages of documents and have armies of accountants whose job it is to make them as complicated as possible. And they have friends in Congress who defund the IRS or preemptively change the tax law so that they don't violate it any more. Increasing IRS enforcement funding has one of the best ROIs in government expenditures, but somehow it just never gets done.

The article also talks about how literally every single business Trump owns/ed including his casinos were reporting tens upon tens of millions in losses. And the article talks about how this was his entire MO: make a big payday and then declare losses and pay nothing in taxes and repeat. Businesses and individuals can "carry over" large losses over multiple years to offset income. If you, as an individual, for example, took an enormous bath on a stock you bought, you can carry over that investment loss for years to offset the income you otherwise made. Businesses can do the same. This usually is not a problem because most people don't want their businesses to do badly and the effects of massive losses can often be felt for years, so it makes sense to allow those losses to reduce tax liability in later years. What you see in the Trump article, however, is that Trump and his family are utilizing every tool for self-dealing that they possibly can (like aggressively classifying personal expenditures as "business expenses," or paying themselves (or companies that they own) "consulting fees" and still running the businesses into the ground, either through ineptness or just neglect. I don't know how much this affects the minds of individual, low-information voters, but it's basically a case study in how no one with real financial knowledge should ever have started dealing with him in the first place. It's also another reminder of how this guy should never have been put in public office because self-dealing is the only thing he does remotely well. This reminds me of coworkers I used to have back in 2008 (or whenever the Apprentice started taking off) who were wondering why anyone would get in business with Trump. The man's books even brag about his business practices that all involve self-dealing, squeezing contractors, and stiffing business partners and creditors. Add this to another pile of stories about how people in NJ and NY had written off Trump as a flimflam artist decades ago.

I'm trying to figure out "why Parscale" particularly with this news Like yeah he's probably helped the tax fraud scheme and probably is tied up in it, but why your campaign manager (more importantly, your digital troll/ finance guy)? My only thoughts are that Parscale was cooking the campaigns books and almost all of it went into Donald's pockets, or that Parscale was involved in potentially shady poo poo with Donald's taxes, campaign contributions from "foreign benefactors", or something of the like I just find it odd it's the digital guy who flips out and not the accountants Something very shady and very hosed is going on, and Parscale knows something...
