re: #262 jaunte

I’m sure plenty of very wealthy people do things like what Fred Trump did. But the thing is, Fred Trump did it in a very hamhanded and clumsy way (at least we know where Donnie got it from). This would have drawn much less attention if he’d simply created some businesses and trusts, where the kids were beneficiaries under the trust, and the trust held the shares of the businesses. But having five year olds on the payroll, and engaging in what is effectively money laundering by upcharging costs (though I think that might have been Don rather than Fred), that’s the sort of shit that should get you into trouble.
