In 2007 Bayrock struck a deal with FL Group, an Icelandic company that had agreed to invest $50 million in four of Bayrock's subsidiary partnerships. However, the deal was later relabeled as a loan.
Former employees of Bayrock have alleged in a case against the company that the deal was intended to fraudulently evade some $20 million in tax through a disguised sale of partnership interests.
They also claim the participants mislabeled the sale as a loan in order to avoid paying a further estimated $80 million taxes on the projected profits from the real estate. ..

Trump's ties to the mob, the players & the playing of America & his dirty lawyered-up deals exposed in the article along with timelines & docs, tells how the billionaire society thrives.
This is a pretty intricate line of maneuvers to avoid taxes, & explains why Donald Trump & those who play his same game Really Do Not want Senator Elizabeth Warren anywhere near regulating their ability to profit while avoiding Taxes.
Trump is who Sen Warren warned us about.
People really believe Trump is in the 2016 race because he has America & his millions of adoring fan's best interest in mind?

Why he damn's Sen E Warren as he does.
If Trump is tearing someone down with juvenile insults, then we need to be looking closer at Trump.
Sen Warren is brilliant and a threat to the profits of the billionaire class.
Trump is everything Sen Warren's iconic speeches were about.
Trump is everything she warned us about.
Guess now the UK Telegraph will join Warren in the 'Big Mouth Club"! More power to them for speaking out.
