If only the Trump administration was truly interested in prosecuting white collar crime. This is truly the heyday for financial crimes in the United States.

Meh…don't care. Actually hope he gets some path to citizenship. lol. So many other things I care about a billion times more than some guy running a or trying to run a business. Go for it. Hope he gets away with it. I'd be pretty entertained if Trump gave him a pass. It would be in line with how every garden variety politician operates too. lol.

In other words, you don't give a damn about the country and it's borders and it's laws. Typical liberal mentality.

I think it's more from just experienced in business and life to not let illegals, Biden, Obama, the economy be used as an excuse for why I can't succeed in life. You should stop using 'liberal' as the basis for your argument. That is the MAGA equivalent of the left calling someone a racist. You should strive to be more.

Now, show me on Trumpy Bear where the Trump Burger guy touched you.

You can't be serious? They're prosecuting many crimes of all natures. Quit listening to Kimmel, CNN and MSNBC.

I'm R as R can be, but I hope the hell Trump doesn't catch wind of this. He might pardon the guy in advance and issue an EO to grant him full citizenship, based on being a loyal fan. I'm mostly joking.

the Trump Organization has already been threatening Trump Burger over using the Trump name for 6 months.

lawyers for President Trump's private business, the Trump Organization, sent Trump Burger of Bellville a cease and desist letter on Feb. 3.
The Trump Brand
The letter stated "... we were surprised to learn that you have been flagrantly infringing upon the Trump Organization's valuable and well-established intellectual property right by operating at least three restaurants under the Trump name and brand."

I'm sure this is how they found out he was an illegal immigrant. The guy was using Trump's NIL without consent to pawn off cheap food and merch.

.....the guy screams con-artist, and how he thought this was a good idea is CRAZY.

Apparently he's also got a criminal record (including assault). Get him TF outta here!

A co-owner of a Trump-branded burger chain in Texas is facing deportation as officials allege that the Lebanese national overstayed his visa, engaged in "sham" marriages and has a criminal record that includes an assault charge.

It's clear the administration isn't prioritizing tax fraud and other financial crimes by high income individuals.

Now, a 25% reduction in staff in the first half of this year under President Donald Trump, along with a freeze in IRA funds and the administration's threat to cut the IRS's annual budget, will leave fewer resources to do the kinds of investigative audits to recover big sums that taxpayers owe but haven't paid.

The IRS, which collected $5.1 trillion in 2024 taxes, estimates there is about $700 billion that goes uncollected each year, a shortfall referred to as the tax gap.

While staff has been cut across the IRSthe most recent staff count is 76,000, down from last year's 102,000some of the deepest cuts are to areas critical to recovering uncollected taxes.

The Trump Administration's budget proposal would cut IRS funding by more than half in 2027 relative to 2025, including a 65% cut in operations support and a 50% cut in enforcement. Taxpayer services funding would be cut by 8%. These cuts are far larger than the headline reductions in discretionary funding that have been widely reported, which do not capture the full picture of overall funding reductions and focus only on the first year of cuts in 2026.

Federal prosecutors are taking note of Trump's dislike of the overseas-bribery law. The newly installed U.S. attorney for New Jersey, Alina Habba, formerly a Trump adviser and one of his defense lawyers, moved to dismiss charges against the former Cognizant executives accused of paying bribes in India. Her decision undercut prosecutors in that office who had received approval in Februarybefore she took overto proceed to trial, according to an internal Justice Department memo reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

The White House fired a federal prosecutor in Los Angeles who had been overseeing a fraud case against Andrew Wiederhorn, the chief executive of burger-chain operator Fat Brands and a donor to Trump and other Republicans. Wiederhorn pleaded not guilty.

"Roland Beainy, one of the owners of the local burger chain named after President Donald Trump, was notified that he will have his green card revoked over suspected marriage fraud, while embroiled in lawsuits over the company.

On Wednesday, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson confirmed to Newsweek that Beainy was under investigation and said the government does not tolerate immigration fraud."

Never ate there but wanted to try it. Guess it may be too late.
