    The sentence isn’t enough to drive him away. I think he’s only barred from operating his businesses for 3 years

      Which means he’ll probably just get his shitty children to be figureheads while he pulls the strings behind the scenes.

        i haven’t read the verdict completely, but the law i think bars family as well. the government appoints it’s own people to run the company. it’s kinda wild actually

          Yeah I thought it also banned his children from running it for 2 years.

          Still not enough time though.

        Eric and Jr are both barred for 2 years I think. Maybe Ivanka could do it but I think she’s actually smart enough to sit this one out.

      And without him running his businesses (read: committing fraud and tax evasion to make money), there’s a good chance they’ll collapse during those three years. I can’t imagine there’s much actual substance to them.
