Trump Must Face Suit Over Alleged Multilevel Marketing Fraud - Bloomberg
President Donald Trump, his company and three of his children must face a class-action lawsuit in which people claim they were scammed into spending money on fraudulent, multilevel marketing ventures and a dubious live-seminar program.
U.S. District Judge Lorna Schofield in Manhattan ruled Wednesday that the case can go forward with claims of fraud, unfair competition, and deceptive trade practices. The decision likely opens the door for the plaintiffs to start gathering evidence from Trump and his company, including documents and testimony.
Schofield dismissed federal racketeering claims, eliminating allegations that could have netted triple damages for the plaintiffs.
