I want to know the names of the lawyers who wrote that contract for the "conditional opportunity" to send a hundred bucks for a phone that wouldn't be as advertised and which might not even be made.
As usual, Reese Waters gets right to the heart of it.
That a court, a judge sitting on a bench in a court wouldn't . . . no, make that the fact that there could be even one judge sitting on any bench in the US who wouldn't summarily find that the Trump crime gang had cheated those hundreds of thousands out of millions and order them to pay it all back and all costs and interest on it is all the proof anyone needs to know the legal system of the United States is the mother of all these con jobs.
I imagine a court would, especially if the fraud is that flagrant. The problem is getting into court (by which I mean, finding plaintiffs willing to foot the bill). This isn’t a suit against an insurance company (most personal injury suits, like the McDonalds hot coffee case of yore), where you can be pretty confident of a payout. Odds are, Trump set up a company and will throw it into bankruptcy, leaving him free of liability. Yes, you can fight that, too. But for $100? That’s your actual damages. No lawyer would take the case for 1/3rd of that. Simple matter if economics, even if you could reach through the obvious fraud of the “independent corporation” and get to Trump. It would be the definition of a Pyrrhic victory.
ReplyDeleteTwo American axioms at play here: “A fool and his money are soon parted.” And: “There’s a sucker born every minute.” At some point, there are just things the law can’t fix. Caveat emptor.
If there is no way to prevent such a blatant swindle in American law or to correct it and punish those who mount one, that proves that American "justice" is rigged to favor con men, liars and crooks. There is nothing in either reason or physical reality that would prevent it being otherwise.
