Don't commit crimes in the biggest business capital on the planet and maybe it won't be an issue? Manhattan has a physically very small amount of space that a bunch of people want to be in. If you don't want to play by their rules then go somewhere else. Everyone who moves out because of their politics will lose money, and there are plenty of people who are happy to make the money you give up on. Sorry the market decided it didn't want you, don't let the door hit you on the way out

If your business model is grift and fraud, then yes, please move your business out.

It's good advice for businesses that keep two entirely different sets of books depending on whether they're getting loans or paying taxes. I think there's a word for that. Oh yeah, fraud. Look what Obama has done to this country. Can't even commit fraud anymore.

Mr. Wonderfuls whole argument is disingenuous.

He says forget Trump , and then goes through it all, but Trump did the fraud consistently to a level noone else would ever dream of.

Most people who do this type of fraud add 20% value perhaps to squeeze a bit more cash out of it. Trump went full on 500% valuation on things that will never add up or reach the value.

It's a clear difference, not another one of these "both sides' type arguments they try to lower everyone down to.

Hey, it's just business, that's what you do! You haggle. Nobody got hurt so what's the big deal? Everyone does it. Lying is ok. When it's business. I don't know what you guys are being so righteous about.

Plus, Donald Trump was the President of the United States. Think about that! How's it going to look if we try to hold a political leader to some arbitrary moral standard just for lying and shady business dealings?! They don't do that in Russia, that's for sure.
