The entire Trump campaign was a scam — and it is not over
SalonDuring the 2016 presidential campaign, candidate Donald Trump happened to be in the middle of a major federal class-action lawsuit spanning several states over an allegedly fraudulent operation called Trump University. It's unknown to this day how many people unknowingly signed up for weekly recurring donations and "money bombs", but there were so many requests for refunds that at one point, 1-3% of all credit card complaints in the U.S. were about WinRed charges. The sheer number of refunds to Trump donors amounted to a huge no-interest loan to the campaign — a loan which required that the people loaning the money go to a great deal of trouble get money back which they didn't consciously agree to "loan" in the first place. Trump's post-election "Stop the Steal" fundraising at least partially went to pay off those "loans" from the campaign making the whole scheme very "Ponzi-esque."
