How Donald Trump Bankrupted His Atalantic City Casinos, but still Earned Millions
New York Times, June 11, 2016
"I have used the laws of this country.... the bankruptcy chapter laws, to do a great job for my
company, for myself, for my employees, for my family," - Donald Trump
트럼프의 간교한 돈 버는 재주는 클린톤 부부의 그것에 비해서 너무나 솔직하다.
미국의 chapter 11 bankruptcy law 는 corporation(회사)가 빚을 값기가 어려지면
채권자들이 trustee 를 만들어 회사를 구조 조정하여 회사가 운영 난에서 벗어 나게
하기 위한 법이다. 이 구조 조정에서 개인의 재산은 보호 된다.
트럼프는 아에 bankruptcy 할 작정(?)을 하고 사업을 시작하는 것 처럼 보인다.
론 페이먼트를 생각하지 않고 대량의 빚을 얻어서 도저히 회사의 경영으로 갚을
수 없게 끔 해놓고, 고액의 자기 월급은 타가고 자기 개인 빚을 회사에 넘긴다.
따라서 결국 회사는 망하고 자기는 부를 축척 하는 것이다.
The Trump Taj Mahal, 1991
1990 년에 one billion 달러를 들여 Trump Taj Mahal casino 를 만들었다. 1991년에
카지노는 3 billion 달라의 빚 더미에 싸인다. 그중 트럼프는 900 M 을 책임 저야
했다. 챕터 11 에 파일하고 그는 자기가 소유하고 있던 회사 주의 반을 내 놓고,
자기 욧트와 비행기를 팔아야 했다.
Trump Plaza Hotel, 1992
1988년에 뉴욕에 있는 Plaza Hotel을 $390 million에 사들인다. 1992 년에 그 hotel 빚이 무려
$550 million 에 달하자 chapter 11 에 신청한다. 그는 49 %의 호텔 주를 포기 하고, 사장으로
남아 있었으나 월급을 가져 갈수 없었다고 한다.
Trump Hotels and Casinos resorts, 2004
Trump Taj Mahal, Trump marina, Trump Plaza casinos in Atlantic City and a river
boat in Indiana 가 모두 합 쳐서 $1.8 billion에 달하자 chapter 11 을 신청한다.
자기 소유주를 47%에서 27%로 줄였으나 아직도 회장이다.
Trump Entertainment Resorts, 2009
$53.1 million bond interest payment를 못하자 트럼프는 회장직을 사임하고, 회사주를
10%로줄였다.
bankruptcy 가 트럼프의 business plan이었는 지 카지노 사업의 전반적인 부진 때문이
었는지는 지는 각자가 판단할 일이지만, 이렇게 사업이 부진 한대도 그의 재산은
늘기만 했다는 것은 자타가 부인 할수 없는 사실이다.
Chapter 11을 너무 자주 이용했다는 점 또한 수상하다. 마치 클린톤 foundation의
기부금의 양이 지나칠 정도로 많은 것 처럼....
아무튼 두 가족이 절친 했다고 하니 알만 하다.

I thought American people were smart and conscientious when they picked Obama for president,
and now, I have to think again, especially about the Republican crowds.
I hope that they don't get swayed by a bunch of unhappy rednecks this time.
Trump is an eveil, a totally selfish spoiled brat.

Dear Dr. BB Lee
Thank you for imformation. I searched your reference on Trump.

"The Art of the Deal"made America see Trump as a charmer with an unfailing knack for
business. Tony Schwartz helped create that myth -- and regrets it.
By Jane Mayer
This crazy guy can sink USA and the whole world altogether! Now, I know why his hand motion when
he makes a speech resembles Hitler's. This guy with short attention span almost never read the book from
the start to the end, but loves Hilter's books.
Dear Dr. 온기철
I lived in this country almost-two year short-50 years and have been lucky enough to meet so many good Americans all along. But I have never seen such vicious swindler like Trump, cheating after cheating the innocent/naive people through all his life. If I may borrow a Jewish expression, Trump is a kind of person who will fxxx own mother if anyone pays extra penny. Of course, it is none of my GD business but I do mind this bastard because my future- not many year left though!- will get affected indirectly by this SOB if elected as President.
The thing bothers me most is NOT this bastard (because he was born with bad genes!) oneself but THE people who likes this idiot whose brain maturation stopped barely at three years old child level - unable to express/formulate the sentence with more than 150 characters as Elizabeth Warren precisely pointed out!-. I don't want to repeat tons of the evidence to let you all get bored since every columnist for New York Times and Washington Post wrote day after day through the year.
But the story/article in latest issue of New Yorker in regard to so called his autobiography, the Art of the Deal, made me feel sick! After I read it, I really worry about the risk/harm this m-fxxxing bastard will bring to us if stupid red neck/white trash should elect him as the president. No wonder Ruth Ginsberg of Supreme Court lamented to immigrate to New Zealand.
You all have to read it!!!!!!!!!
After (South) Koreans elected THE perpetual liar, Kim DaeJung as their president, I felt so ashamed to belong to Koreans and stopped to claiming myself as a Korean expatriate wherever I go to give lectures/master class. Hope I would NOT have same shameful situation by this idiot.
Concerning,
BB Lee
P.S. Because of this bastard, I reluctantly consented to my wife to withholding my vent over the breakfast table, one of few luxuries I enjoy most as the dividend of the 'retirement'. For such guy, we need the eternal hell.
