Trump sued in Tampa
TAMPA, Fla. – (November
13, 2009) In a suit filed jointly on Nov.
12, 2009 by Daniel Clark of Clark & Martino PA and
Kenneth Turkel of Williams Schifino Mangione & Steady
PA, the 30 plaintiffs in the complaint are seeking damages
on several different counts including an Interstate Land
Sales Full Disclosure Act (ILSA) violation, negligent
misrepresentation and fraudulent misrepresentation. Similar,
but not identical, suits were recently filed Miami, Florida
and Baja California.
Evidentiary support for the complaint
includes video of Trump talking about his large stake
in the development, press releases in which Trump announced
the he would be developing the 52-story ultra-luxury condominium
with a local partner, and marketing collateral and newsletters
– all of which state the Trump was an integral,
if not the main component, leading the charge on the project.
With constant updates and press releases,
Mr. Trump aggressively promoted the Trump Tower Tampa
development – Donald Trump was announcing all press
releases, in which Donald Trump held himself out as making
vital decisions in selecting the general contractor, the
look and feel of the project, and in all respects, being
the lead partner and developer of Trump Tower Tampa.
Donald Trump led everyone to believe that he had a substantial
stake in this project.
