#ReflectingPool Contract Has ‘#Inflated’ #Profit Margin, Government Analysis Finds
Atlantic Industrial Coatings, the Virginia-based contractor, is being paid $13.1 million, which is seven times the amount that #Trump initially said the work would cost.
The firm that was given a no-bid contract to “repair” the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, is charging 20%. The typical profit margin is 6% to 12%, internal records show.

Trump reveals he made $300,000 selling Bibles and has big cryptocurrency stash
Financial disclosure shows presidential nominee owes $500m in #civil #penalties but sheds little light on #solvency
Donald Trump made hundred of thousands from his branded #Bible and millions from his #properties
– but also owes millions for #defamation and #fraud cases, according to his latest financial disclosures that shed little light on the perennial question of whether the Republican presidential nominee is, in fact, solvent.Voluminous disclosure documents to the US Office of Government Ethics to comply with election campaign laws show that,
in addition to Trump’s US real estate holdings,
he has global financial interests, including registered #trademarks in China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Ukraine and Israel.He also owns millions in #cryptocurrency and has a six-figure investment in #gold #bars.
But the disclosures also hint at Trump’s substantial personal outgoings,
👉including more than $500m owed to both the writer E Jean Carroll and the New York attorney general -- resulting from civil judgments involving defamation and accounting fraud.👈Both judgments
– $83m to Carroll and
– $454m to New York state
– are subject to bonds while Trump appeals the decisions,
a process that could take years.Trump’s #MarALago home and private club in Florida, which formed part of a case against the Trump Organization involving #inflated asset #valuations,
produced about $57m in income from the club, down about $8m from a previous disclosure.The disclosures are not a profit-and-loss balance sheet
– they only give broad ranges of income and assets
– so alone they cannot determine whether Trump is in the red or the black.He has consistently resisted efforts to force the release of his tax returns,
although two years ago a Democrat-controlled Congress released six years of Trump’s tax returns,
dating to 2015, the year he announced his presidential bid. -

Back to the #TrumpTrial #day2
During #CrossExamination this afternoon, #Trump #lawyer Jesus #Suarez tried to pin the blame for #inflated #FinancialStatements on Trump's fmr #accountant, #DonaldBender.
Suarez noted in his questioning that #Bender was the only #CPA compiling the documents, & that others involved like #AllenWeisselberg didn't have that level of expertise. (Um, he was the CFO - the Chief Financial Officer 🤦🏼♀️)
-
Continuing his #testimony, fmr #Trump #accountant #DonaldBender #testified that the info he used to compile Trump's #FinancialStatements came from the #TrumpOrganization, NOT him.
The #judge already found the #financial statements were grossly #inflated & #fraudulent.
The AG's office is trying to show a #pattern of behavior through documents bolstering #Bender's claim, indicating he & the accounting company he worked for relied on docs that Trump & his company provided them.

#TrumpTrial #day2 thread;
#Trump continued his attacks against #James hours before he returned to court for the 2nd day of arguments in the #civil #fraud #trial that the #NewYork AG brought against him & his company.
In 2 posts on his social platform this morning, Trump used derogatory terms to #attack James while denying any wrongdoing against allegations that he #inflated his #assets.
-
The AG’s theory has been that #Trump & his executives were responsible for feeding #inflated #asset values to #Bender to include in annual statements of Trump's wealth from 2011 to 2021. Bender’s reports came w/a warning to recipients that he did NOT verify the validity of the figures he compiled.
The defense has argued that the warning served as a heads-up to banks that they should do their own reviews if they wished to. -
Longtime #TrumpOrganization #accountant #DonaldBender was the first #witness in the #NewYork AG’s $250 million #fraud #trial. He was responsible for preparing the allegedly #fraudulent statements of #financial condition that were used to present what the #lawsuit says are #inflated accounts of #Trump’s #NetWorth to obtain favorable #loan & #insurance policy rates.

Starburst
As a photographer, hot air balloons fascinate me. The colors, shapes, patterns of the balloons are typically very vibrant and cheerful.
This balloon was partially inflated when I noticed the star at the top of the balloon with a beautiful burst of color around the star.
I captured this image at the Reno Balloon Race: See the full image here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/starburst-bill-gallagher.html #Starburst #BillGallagherPhotography #AYearForArt #BuyIntoArt #Star #HotAirBalloon #Colorful #Inflated #RenoBalloonRaces
