Donald Trump’s company commits $1.6M fraud

Donald Trump ‘s organization has been fined a hefty $1.6 million, the maximum fine in this case, for evading taxes for the past 15 years, while giving huge benefits to executives.

Perks like cars, free apartments and private school tuition…

The fine is monstrous, but prosecutors have specified that this penalty is only worth a fraction of the revenues of Donald Trump‘s organization.

Recall that this move came just days after Allen Weisselberg, the company’s CFO, was jailed for five months at Rikers Island. He was the mastermind behind the whole scenario.

Of course, Donald Trump has denied this illegal tax evasion by his executives, who have not been tried for these charges.

Three more Avatar sequels confirmed

It was during an interview on Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace that James Cameron, the writer and director of the two Avatar films, confirmed sequels!

In fact, The Way of the Water and Avatar 3 were shot simultaneously, and it looks like movies 4 and 5 are about to be ready, according to Cameron.

If logic holds, the third installment should be released in December 2024 and it will feature the “Ash people” of Pandora, a clan not as nice as one might think.
