When I go back to the original sources those articles use, I find them mostly circular (eg., citing each other), often using themselves as a source (ProPublica did this a lot citing earlier articles they did in later ones), and no mention of "two sets of books." Instead, they say there were discrepancies in filings of loan and tax forms with various entities where things like occupancy rates vary considerably. That doesn't amount to "two sets of books."
The appeal to popularity--"MANY articles have told the story"--is meaningless.

Are you really that stupid? I just posted one of the articles I cited in its entirety and nowhere in it does it claim "two sets of books." I could do likewise for the other but it's the same. There is no claim of "two sets of books."

You obviously have a severe reading comprehension problem. It was Trump.org, a corporation formed to run his properties that was indicted, not Trump himself. Second, this occurred over a month ago and has gone nowhere since. This was also about the indictment of that organization's CFO, Allen Weisselberg.
So, you don't even have your basic facts straight on what's going on here.

Well then, address that to Politalker because he was the one that said it.

Why am I banned from posting on a thread I’m not banned from?
I answered on that thread, Desh. You have no interest in checking if you are in APP and have demonstrated that you will not follow the rules in that area. You haven't been able to post in APP area for well over a year. It is only once that it seemed to be an issue.

Two sets of books:
"These payments were not booked in the Trump Corporation's general ledger as employee compensation, but were instead labelled and deducted as 'rent expense' in the general ledger.
The Trump Organization maintained internal spreadsheets that tracked the amounts paid for Weisselberg's rent, utility and garage expenses."

Indictment of Public Record: The People of New York vs The Trump Corporation And Allen Wesselberg, Defendants
This is what all those articles are reporting on.

Hello Damocles,
Thanks. I think you made the right call. The OP did begin with some evidence dating back to 2019, but also included this, from this year:
"Update-5: On July 1, [2021] prosecutors indicted the Trump Organization and the chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg with running a tax fraud scheme for over fifteen years. The indictment charges Weisselberg, the Trump Organization, and the Trump Payroll Co. with compensating Weisselberg and other Trump Organization executives with off-the-books funds that were unreported or misreported to federal, state, and local tax authorities."
This is a currently open and ongoing investigation.

Hello T. A. Gardner,
'Gone nowhere?'
Do you maintain that the investigation has been concluded, the charges dropped? Gone stale? Shelved? Nothing happening?
There are several open investigations looking at Trump and his multi-layered tax avoidance schemes.

Hence the move to the other political forum. Basically, not really "current event" but not wasted time either. Folks will still see and respond. I try not to be unjust. Sometimes I fail, because I am human.
What occupancy?
The documents are related to payments to Allen Weisselberg (and other employees). One document sent to the government says Weisselberg got paid X. Another document kept internally says he got paid X plus payments in the form of 2 cars, an apartment, tuition for schools, etc. There is no different dates here since the tax year doesn't change. At the end of the year you report the amount paid to the employee during that year. Failing to report the actual payments to an employee is a crime.
