Trump University Class Action Lawsuit Filed Over Real Estate Seminars

Mr. JR,
I am not sure who you are, because you did not have the courage to put your name to the words you wrote here, but I know a few things for sure.
One: You are not one of MY students, because if you were, there would not be the statement “the real estate investment approach they taught would not work in this market – economic downturn.” in your diatribe above. As far as educational content in the programs, Trump didn’t scam ANYONE. How do I know this? Because I WROTE much of the material in the programs. I was commissioned by TU to do this based on the fact that I have MANY successful students who have praised my knowledge and teaching style. The methods I taught for Trump, and continue to teach on my own, are EXACTLY the sort of methods that allow savvy investors to make money in today’s market. And no, you DON’T need to use your own money or credit. This is not a business where you can sit back, not do any work, and expect to make a profit, however. As with any business, it requires HARD WORK, and I have stressed this to EVERY individual I have spoken with concerning Real Estate Investing. Most students who aren’t successful are the ones who are lazy. Period. MY guess is, based on the completely erroneous comments above, that you fall in this category. If you were anything else, you would have researched properly, and would not have put in the comment that leads me to my next point.
Two: “Individuals like Gerald Martin, Chris Goff, Eric Brown, John Jameson, Steve Gilpen, etc. would attempt to sell their personal mentoring to Trump students at subsequent seminars for several thousands of dollars. Their greed got in the way of performing their job. These individuals would give numerous accounts of their successes and then would say – “don’t you want to work with me”. This is a blatant conflict of interest. An individual should not be permitted to sell their services to individuals who have already paid for the real estate training.”
I cannot speak for anyone but myself, but I DID NOT offer my coaching services outside of TU while I was contracted with them. I provided those students who worked with me through Trump MORE than what they paid for, including setting up their Marketing , which is something that I specialize in, FREE OF CHARGE. Greed and Conflict of Interest? This paragraph, in relation to ME, Chris Goff, is the very definition of LIBEL. Look it up. You may be hearing that word again some day in a courtroom. I wonder, is this the reason that you are hiding behind anonymity?
Last, but not least,Three:
“In my view he has little or no regard for the individuals he has scammed with his business venture.

The Trump University, now Trump Initiative, only has a hand full of employees who are servicing the remaining contracts and then closing down the entire operation. All of the presenters with the exception of Steve Gilpin are no longer with the organization. All of the presenters support group, like Tiffany Brinkman and Gillian Birnie are gone.”
Here is where you are FINALLY CORRECT in something. Yes, TU/TI is closing down their operation. All but a skeleton crew are left behind to wrap things up. This began in the summer of 2010. BUT, the closure was NOT due to a large quantity of unhappy students filing a class action lawsuit. Mismanagement within the company led to this, and while the students were not given everything promised as a result, they were NOT the ones to suffer the MOST. If you are interested in finding out the REAL details, you might just be surprised at what you learn.
AS FOR ME, I stand behind what I taught at Trump University, and will continue to do so.
Sincerely,
Chris Goff
