    I can’t read the previous comment but I see we’re talking about Trump getting jailtime in this thread about jailtime for fraudulent Auditors:

    So, technically, BF Borgers CFA is the firm in question committing fraud and they are the accounting firm who generated reports for Trump and Truth Social, but they also committed fraud on/for like 500 other companies. It’s not that Trump owns and operates Borgers.

      Sure, it’s possible Trump wasn’t aware of the fraud, nor encourage it, nor ok with it, and it’s possible he somehow isn’t responsible for the actions of the companies he runs. It’s possible he was defrauded rather than enriched. Does that really seem likely?

        I mean, yeah. He’s not exactly well known for selecting the brightest minds for every job.

        Trump’s a piece of shit, but AFAIK he doesn’t run BF Borgers. He just hired them to do a job that they didn’t do, just like at least 500 other companies have.
