Trump University litigation settled

It was announced today that the Trump University litigation has been settled.

Unfortunately, there are still organizations [the “evil spawn” of Trump University]  runing the “Hotel Real Estate Seminar Scam” active in Canada to this day.  Some involve people that worked with or for the Trump programs.

Below is the text of the announcement by New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman:

(From http://www.ag.ny.gov/press-release/statement-ag-schneiderman-25-million-settlement-agreement-reached-trump-university )

NEW YORK – Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman issued the following statement on the $25 million settlement agreement reached in Trump University case:

In 2013, my office sued Donald Trump for swindling thousands of innocent Americans out of millions of dollars through a scheme known as Trump University. Donald Trump fought us every step of the way, filing baseless charges and fruitless appeals and refusing to settle for even modest amounts of compensation for the victims of his phony university. Today, that all changes. Today’s $25 million settlement agreement is a stunning reversal by Donald Trump and a major victory for the over 6,000 victims of his fraudulent university.

I am pleased that under the terms of this settlement, every victim will receive restitution and that Donald Trump will pay up to $1 million in penalties to the State of New York for violating state education laws. The victims of Trump University have waited years for today’s result and I am pleased that their patience–and persistence–will be rewarded by this $25 million settlemen

Trump Institute in Vancouver, Victoria, and Surrey B.C., Canada – July, 2007 (and in 2008…)

It appears that the Trump Institute was in Vancouver as early as July, 2007. The ad from The Province (a Vancouver B.C. newspaper) dated July 24, 2007 is below. (Here it is in PDF form: the-province-ad-2007) The full text of the ad follows the image. This is quite remarkable, given what has unfolded and the litigation in regard to Trump University.

(Update: turns out the Trump Institute was also in Vancouver in early 2008 – see this blog and especially the comments: http://jnarvey.com/2008/01/12/mylife-inspiration-from-the-trump-institute/ )

An Open Letter From Donald Trump To All Vancouver Area Residents Who Want To Get Rich In Real Estate & Business

Trump tells all!

“I’ve made billions and now I want to share my success secrets with you.

– Donald Trump Executive Producer, The Apprentice NBC  Chairman, Trump Institute.

Dear Vancouver Area Resident.

Have you seen my TV show, The Apprentice? It’s been one of the top-rated shows on NBC for eight consecutive seasons!

Not only that, it has made me a media phenomenon and forever changed my life.

And now, at the age of 60, I’ve decided to make a bold move to share my knowledge and experience in such a way that it could be a great advantage to you.

What kind of advantage?

The best kind of the kind of advantage: the kind of advantage that could make you money and make you rich.

If you are seriously interested in hearing what I have to say about being successful, about making money and about getting rich, please read every word of this letter carefully. It contains an invitation for you to discover was taken me the better part of my life to learn and put into action.

Please let me explain.

Before The Apprentice, I was famous for building the world’s largest and most beautiful buildings, golf courses, and casinos, and for being a marketing whiz when it comes to succeeding in business. Everywhere I went people treated me like royalty and I was generally considered a big shot.

Everything Has Changed!

Because of The Apprentice, everything has changed. I have truly become a household word globally. Everywhere I go people say something to me. Sometimes they say, “Trump, you’re fired!” Or, “You’re hired!” But always, they greet me with respect, humor and friendship. It’s like they know me personally.

I love that!

With this monumental fame there comes great responsibility (and enormous opportunity) to make a huge contribution to the North American economy.

Something Extraordinary For You!

Since the amazing success of the The Apprentice I have been wondering what to do with this new power of world worldwide fame. Recently I got the idea to do something truly extraordinary and totally outside of the box.

What I’ve decided is that I want to train and educate the next generation real estate moguls and business entrepreneurs. Why?

There are two very good reasons:

Reason #1:

America’s been very good to me and my family and this is a great way I can give back to the country and help stimulate real economic growth.

Reason #2:

I believe that what I have to share will create so much success for my students that I will leave a legacy as being the father of modern real estate acquisition and entrepreneurial success.

You see, one thing you should know about me is that more than anything, I want to be known as a great businessman, maybe even the greatest!!

That’s why I have created the Trump Institute.

Want to know how I do it?

Would you like to know how I buy sell and real estate? How I pick properties for huge profits and yield equity gains?

Would you like to know what I look for when buying a business or starting a new business? If so I’m inviting you to come to a special seminar introducing Trump Institute. At this seminar you’ll see first hand (sic) the type of education I am offering.

Who Should Attend?

If you’re asking yourself, “could this be the moment that changes everything for me?” All I can say is, you’ll never know unless you try.

Your success depends on you!

Ultimately, your success depends on you, and with my help you can get an education and advantage that has not only proven to work for me but it has also worked for many of the world’s richest men and women.

You see, in my quest to be the best, I have sought the advice and guidance from people who have also experienced mega-billionaire success. I have incorporated their techniques and experiences into my own personal treasure chest of successful business and real estate knowledge, strategies, and wisdom.

A Powerful Team Of Experts!

I also have an incredible team of business entrepreneurs and real estate mavens (very talented experts), who deliver my material and my lessons.

These are men and women who are highly successful professional business and real estate. They speak from my lips to your ears and they back it up experience, knowledge and wisdom. I wouldn’t put my name on it any other way.

Trump Institute in Vancouver, Victoria, and Surrey B.C., Canada – July, 2007 (and in 2008…)

Trump University in Vancouver – 2010

(Update Nov 9, 2016. It appears Trump University was in Vancouver in 2009 as well: see the article “Trumped up” by Rod Filbrandt in the April 2009 Vancouver Magazine: http://vanmag.com/uncategorized/trumped-up/  or at https://web.archive.org/web/20170116003143/http://vanmag.com/uncategorized/trumped-up/ )

The student evaluation forms revealed on the http://www.98percentapproval.com/ web site put up by Trump University have proved to be a treasure trove of information. (…as well as revealing unredacted information on Ottawa participants – hello journalists !..)

The forms document the various Trump U. programs given in Canada. Recent news stories have found that the programs given in Canada featured some of the suspect instructors used by Trump  U.  This site has documented how former Trump University staff continue to work with Trump U “clones” that frequently come to Canada.

(I’ll remind readers again that the warning given by the Competition Bureau needs to be taken seriously. Later today yet another hotel seminar pitch is being given in Edmonton by an organization that has used Trump Institute staff)
