At issue are promotional spots and speeches that Trump made on behalf of marketing company ACN, also known as American Communications Network, which charged $499 for the chance to sell video phones licensed by the company, and sometimes extracted thousands of dollars later to have a chance of recouping the money.
Trump earned $450,000 each for three speeches he gave for ACN, according to his government disclosure form, but in marketing videos he told potential investors that the opportunity came without any of the risks most entrepreneurs have to take and that his endorsement was not for any money.
The plaintiffs allege that the investments were a sham and that Trump and his family promoted them including twice on his TV show Celebrity Apprentice despite knowing they were fraudulent.
In a 164-page complaint filed with the Southern District of New York, the plaintiffs ask for damages including financial relief and a ruling barring the Trumps and their company from promoting such offers in the future.
The fun now starts

First, it would be nice to see Team Trump take another L and be found in judgment. Pierce him at all opportunities.
But you should see what Judd does daily to Facebook and other bothersome creatures at his blog, www.popular.info

There could be nothing better for our Constitutional government than a "Lonesome Rhodes Moment" that brings down Trump and his cohorts.
