Founded in 2005, and now called The Trump Entrepreneur Initiative, Trump University has been charged with being a “bait and switch scheme” that bilked “more that 5,000 people to pay up to $35,000.”
Students were initially signed-up for seminars at $1,495 and then encouraged to further participate in the “$24,995 Trump Gold Elite mentorship package.”
New Your Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is pursuing a fraud suit representing 600 Trump University students. That suit is pending in New York State Supreme Court. There are also two suits in California.
Donald Trump, has called Schneiderman a “sleazebag” and “lowlife.” The New York State Ethic Commission however dropped Trump’s complaint against Schneiderman on August 30th.
I would expect Trump to have to respond to these allegations at the next debate.
It sounds like they got a helluva lesson in “Entrepreneurship” to me!
quit whining and open up a branch university….P.T. Barnum was all over this concept….
These suckers, er, people learned a valuable lesson.
How does $1495 and $24,995 equal $35,000?
Also, if you knew the $1495 three day seminar was a scam, what made you think $24,995 or whatever wasn’t a scam?
Gee…what a “shock!” that a NEW YORK AG is going after Trump.
And…what a COINCIDENCE that NOW, all of a sudden, this is a “media discovery”!
I can’t WAIT to hear what they dig up on Hillary, Bernie, Joe, Fauxcahontas and the rest.
*crickets*
DEATH TO THE LSM.
My favorite made up university is Bullwinkle’s alma mater, Wassamata U. in Frostbite Falls, Minnesota.
LOL- Who can also forget that famous Mexican bandit,

I use to have a sweatshirt with that logo on it. It was one of my favorites and I wore it to rags. It looked like this.

I like Joe Dan’s, Frogleg University….FU!
One year at UNC costs $24,000 for in state and $41,000 for out of state. Student loans can’t be discharged in bankruptcy and many of the degrees have the same value as Trump U
Sounds like Trump U was a bargain.
My brother still has his and wears it proudly.
Maybe he is a democrat?
