Daily Telegraph reports on Trump's scam to disguise equity as debt and save on taxes
WHILE US MEDIA GROVEL FOR TRUMP, LONDON DAILY TELEGRAPH REVEALS SLEAZY DONS MASSIVE TRUMP SOHO TAX FRAUD; FASCIST BILLIONAIRES OPERATION FLEECED TAXPAYERS FOR TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS; SCAM DISGUISED EQUITY INVESTMENT AS LOAN, EXPLOITING TAX LOOPHOLE; TRUMPS NEGOTIATOR WAS MOB FIGURE AND CONVICTED FELON FELIX SATER; TRUMP LIKELY COMMITTED PERJURY BY CLAIMING UNDER OATH HE COULD NOT RECALL HIS SENIOR ADVISER SATER

In addition, Trumps agent in this entire matter turns out to be one Felix Sater of Bayrock Group, a shadowy mob figure who represented him in the dodgy and convoluted negotiations. Trump is currently so anxious to put distance between himself and Sater that he may have lied under oath by vehemently insisting that he could not recall who Sater is.
