Maybe we could start a class action suit for it. ---

Unfortunately for him they are primarily motivated by Justice and seeing he never has the oportunity to do this to anyone ever again. ISTM that the most likely path to that outcome is to _behave_ as though they’re motivated by the money and making sure he never has any again. ---

My point exactly. If they were just interested in money they would have followed his plan let him keep his business so that he could continue to pay them from his profits. That is usually what happens in these sorts of bankruptcies. Instead they chose the liquidate everything option, giving up future returns so as to leave him as close to destitute as the law would allow. ---

That would be fantastic if it happened in September but it’s a lock there will be scenes of tremendous conflict should Trump lose in November and take down a bunch of MAGA incumbents along with him. Matt Yglesias, I think it was, Xitted recently that the GOP is increasingly in trouble with suburbia because the comfortable professional class of voters instinctively shies away from really weird stuff happening in politics. And weird is the Trump campaign to a T. ---

That is usually what happens in these sorts of bankruptcies. Instead they chose the liquidate everything option, giving up future returns so as to leave him as close to destitute as the law would allow. I take your point. But I’d also find it schadenfreudelicious to have the money keep rolling in to him, and him having to immediately turn it over to the parents. ---

I just made [this countdown timer](https://countingdownto.com/?c=5373423) titled _Tan the Conman’s assets seized_. The target date is the day _after_ the final date for him to fork over the funds. Yeah, it’s quite enjoyable seeing the ~~money~~ time go away. ---

Too cool! I liked that ten-question true/false quiz attached to it, also. Did you make the quiz? The question about him loving his children was hilarious because this morning I saw (I forget which news site it was on) a report about him saying the names of his children but leaving out one of the children _who was **standing on the stage** with him at the time_. ---

Not mine, I just saw it on Reddit. I didn’t even see the quiz until you pointed it out, actually. ---

I’m sure that child wasn’t forgotten, it was probably another one of his sociopathic mind games. He might have even learned it from his own dad. ---

I got 10/10, too. They were a little tricky throwing in a couple phrased to be answered False, but if you were reading too quickly might answer True. ---
