????房地產(chǎn)開發(fā)商Irongate Wilshire

????2009年，墨西哥下加利福尼亞一系列豪華公寓項目慘遭失敗，由此引發(fā)一系列訴訟，唐納德?特朗普也受到牽連。起因是洛杉磯開發(fā)商Irongate Wilshire打著特朗普的旗號為項目做廣告。但消費者后來發(fā)現(xiàn)，實際上特朗普并沒有太多參地與項目的管理和開發(fā)，于是消費者起訴特朗普和Irongate，要求償還3,200萬美元預(yù)付款。

????雖然特朗普確實授予了開發(fā)商使用其姓名的權(quán)利，但在明白真相之后他仍大為震怒。他不僅從項目中撤資，還起訴Irongate，要求賠償4,000萬美元，聲稱此舉是希望幫助消費者收回?fù)p失的投資。

????Irongate Wilshire

????In 2009, Donald Trump was involved in a number of lawsuits surrounding the failed construction of a set of luxury condos in Baja California, Mexico. The Los Angeles developer Irongate Wilshire used Trump's name to advertise the project. When buyers found out that Trump wasn't actually playing a big role in managing and developing it, they sued him and Irongate for $32 million in down payments.

????Trump, who had sold the developer the right to use his name, was piqued when he found out what happened. He withdrew from the project and sued Irongate for $40 million, claiming he wanted to help buyers recover their lost investments.
