Judge Allows ‘Pyramid Scheme’ Case Against Trump Family to Go Ahead

A lawsuit alleging President Trump carried out fraud by promoting a pyramid scheme will go ahead after a federal judge dismissed his legal counsel’s request for a stay. Newsweek reports that the lawsuit claims Trump and his kids—Donald Trump Jr., Eric, and Ivanka—are guilty of fraud, false advertising, and unfair competition in their dealings with marketing company ACN. It claims the Trumps didn’t disclose their relationship with ACN and made millions by telling investors they would have a “reasonable probability of success” if they joined the scheme. https://www.thedailybeast.com/judge-allows-pyramid-scheme-case-against-trump-family-to-go-ahead
