Yena nozakwabo bahlose ukwakha “izigidi zezindlu” zabampofu emazweni asathuthuka.Cishe abakaze bakhe nento eyodwa, bashiye abatshalizimali bedangele futhi bamangalele abakweletayo esikhundleni sokubakhokhela.
Umndeni wakwaTrump awaziwa kangako ngemizamo yawo yokusiza abantu, kodwa okwesikhashana, uDonald Trump Jr wabonakala ehlukile.Emuva ngo-2010, u-Trump Omncane kanye nozakwabo ebhizinisini benza isithembiso esingalindelekile sokwakhela imindeni empofu kakhulu emhlabeni izigidi zezindlu ezingabizi kakhulu ezakhiwe kuqala futhi bazithumele emazweni omhlaba.Le nkampani iphinde yembula isisombululo esibonakala siyisimangaliso sokunika amandla amakhaya: ngaphezu kwezinsiza zezindlu, inkampani izophinde isabalalise izinjini zomoya ezincane ezikhiqiza amandla ezingaxhunywa ophahleni.
Okwenzeka ngokulandelayo kunikeza ukuqonda kokuthi u-Don Omncane wenza kanjani ibhizinisi, isihloko esahlolwa okokuqala yi-New Republic kanye Nohlobo Lophenyo ngoSepthemba odlule.Besifuna ukwazi okwengeziwe ngengane endala kaMongameli Trump owaba yiqhawe esixukwini sama-Big Lie.Kuleso sihloko, sabonisa okwenzeka kuDon.UJunior nozakwabo bazibophezele ekulungiseni isibhedlela sasolwandle sangaphambili futhi bathuthele elinye lamahhotela ezinkanyezi ezinhlanu kaTrump eNorth Charleston, eSouth Carolina.Baphuma esibhedlela isimo simuncu.Ihhotela alikaze lakhiwe.Lesi siqephu sidle abakhokhi bentela okungenani amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-33 kanti uJunior nozakwabo benze inzuzo.Uchwepheshe kagesi owabona ukuchithwa kwezintambo zethusi okwandile wangitshela ukuthi ngezinye izikhathi le nkulumo-ze ifana “nesiqephu se-soprano esenzeka ngokoqobo.”
Kodwa u-Don Omncane kanye nozakwabo beza eNyakatho Charleston ngokuyinhloko ukuzokwethula ibhizinisi labo lezindlu ezakhiwe ngaphambili.
Izinhlelo zebhizinisi zale nkampani, ezisanda kutholwa ngophenyo lwethu, zihlanganisa izithombe zika-Donald Trump Omncane kanye nokuqagela kwezezimali okusikisela ukuthi kuzokwakhiwa amakhulu ezinkulungwane zezindlu kanye nenzuzo eyizigidigidi.Eqinisweni, esikwazile ukukuthola kwakuyizakhiwo ezimbalwa inkampani eyazakhela, okuhlanganisa eyodwa yemeya yaseNyakatho Charleston, SC, umxhasi wenkampani enkulu, kanye nezinsiza ezimbalwa inkampani ezithumele phesheya kwezilwandle.
Kulolu hlelo bavalela abatshalizimali emakhoneni bamangalela abakweletwayo esikhundleni sokukhokha lokho abebekweletwa.Le nkampani yenza izithembiso ezingabazisayo mayelana nezinjini zomoya, yafuna ilahleko enkulu emalini yayo yentela, yalimaza inkampani encane yabameli ngokwehluleka ukukhokha amakhulu ezinkulungwane zamaRandi ezinkokhelweni zezomthetho, futhi yenqaba ukuhlinzeka izisebenzi zenkampani.
Phela, njengoba elinye iklayenti elishisiwe lasitshela, uDon Jr. wayengumthengisi “wamakhadi amathathu e-Monte” kunendodana enomusa kasozigidi ezama ukwenza uphawu.
Ukuze bakhe izindlu zeholo eliphansi ababezicabanga, u-Don Omncane kanye nozakwabo oholayo, umngane wakhe wesikhathi eside u-Jeremy Blackburn, babedinga ifekthri engenza izingxenye.Bamthola eNingizimu Carolina.Le ndawo engu-158,000 square foot foot phambilini yayisetshenziselwa amaphaneli okuvala futhi ifakwe izinto zokukhiqiza ezivela enkampanini yase-Austrian i-EVG.
Uzakwethu wesithathu wale nkampani, umlimi waseWashington u-Lee Eikmeyer, utshale imali ecishe ibe yisigidi futhi kamuva wasola emaphepheni asenkantolo ukuthi othile wasebenzisa uhlelo lwakhe ukweba ingcebo yakhe.
Umsebenzi wesibindi wale nkampani udonse ukunaka kwenqwaba yabantu, okuhlanganisa nezikhulu zamazwe ngamazwe kanye nomakadebona baseWall Street.“Wonke umuntu angaba nombono,” kusho uChristopher Jannow, umakhi wamahhotela amancane waseMelika ohlala eZambia owasebenza kafushane noTrump Jr. ngo-2010. “Okwenza laba bafana bahluke yimishini.Kuyiqiniso futhi kuyahlonishwa.”Isisetshenziswa se-EVG sidweba amaphaneli e-3D anomgogodla wegwebu phakathi kwamafreyimu e-wire mesh.Ngemuva kokufakwa kuqediwe, ukhonkolo ushaywa kuma-panels, okuvumela ukuba baqine.Lobu buchwepheshe bukhona amashumi eminyaka futhi buye bathola izinhlelo zokusebenza kuyo yonke into kusukela ezikhungweni zezimayini kuya emigomeni yomsindo wemigwaqo emikhulu.Eminyakeni yamuva nje, ukwakhiwa kwamaphaneli e-3D angashabalali umlilo sekuyingxenye encane kodwa ekhulayo yemakethe yokwakha yokuhlala.
U-Yannow uthe wahlangana no-Don Jr. e-Trump Tower ngo-2010 ngesikhathi efuna umlingani wasendaweni wase-US eZambia wenkampani yakhe entsha ye-Titan Atlas Manufacturing.UJannow waqale wahlabeka umxhwele.UDon wabonakala “njengomuhle kakhulu,” wangitshela.Ukhumbula uJunior ekhomba umbono omuhle ehhovisi lakhe laseTrump Tower.“UDon wathi, 'Ubaba wakha zonke lezi zakhiwo ezinhle eziphakeme kanye nalezi zakhiwo ezinhle.Angikwazi ukuncintisana nalokhu.Kodwa engingakwenza ukwakha izigidi zemizi yabampofu emhlabeni,” kukhumbula uYannow.
Izinkumbulo zika-Yannou zifana nezalowo owayengumlungisi wenhlangano ka-Trump uMichael Cohen, owagcina esize u-Don Jr. ngezinkinga zomthetho ezihlobene nokukhiqizwa kwe-Titan Atlas."Uyazi ukuthi kungani agcina kuleli bhizinisi?"UCohen uthe engxoxweni.“Ngoba ufuna ukuba nguye.Akafuni ukuba ngaphansi kwesivikelo sikayise futhi alawule ukuphila kwakhe konke.Ufuna ukuzenzela imali.Ufuna ukuzenzela imali.Abantu abaphelelwe ithemba benza izinto eziwubuphukuphuku.”
Ngo-2010, uTrump Jr. kanye noBlackburn, uzakwabo kaTrump Jr. ebhizinisini elihlanganyelwe lesibhedlela samasosha asolwandle, babesanda kuthenga lesi sikhungo.Ngo-2010, lo mbhangqwana wathenga izakhiwo nemishini, kanye namahektha angaphezu kuka-10 omhlaba, kusomabhizinisi waseCharleston uFranz Meyer ngamadola ayizigidi ezine.UMeyer unikele ngo-$1 million.Esikhundleni sokusebenza ngebhange, uMeyer wavuma uhlelo lokukhokha cishe u-$10,000 ngenyanga iminyaka eyi-10.Kodwa ngemva kokukhokha kabili, isheke layeka, ngokwamaphepha asenkantolo.
U-Meyer wamangalela e-Charleston futhi wawina isigwebo esimisiwe.Kodwa u-Alan Garten, ummeli we-Trump Organization, waphikisa eNew York State egameni le-Titan Atlas Manufacturing, ethi uMeyer akazange adalule kahle izindaba zelungelo lobunikazi ezihlobene nemishini yakhe yephaneli.Ijaji laseNingizimu Carolina lithe uMeyer akakwazanga ukuyithola le mali kuze kube kuphuma isinqumo ecaleni laseNew York.I-CNN ithinte uGarten mayelana nokubandakanyeka kwakhe kuleli cala futhi yabuza imibuzo kaDonald Trump Jr. kodwa ayizange iphendule.
Yize izinto zishuba, uMeyer wacela uTrump Jr. ukuthi afisele uyise usuku oluhle lokuzalwa.UMeyer uzame ukuhlanganisa izinto noTrump Omncane ngokumthumelela i-imeyili futhi ebancenga ukuthi balungise ukungezwani kwabo.“Konke lokhu kusho ukubambezeleka okwengeziwe nezindleko zomthetho,” kubhala uMeyer.U-Trump Jr. uphendule wathi: “Kufanele wethembe izeluleko zakho futhi sizokwenza.Izimangalo [ezindabeni zelungelo lobunikazi] zinxephezela izindleko kanye nokukhubazeka kwendawo.”Ngamanye amazwi, awungeni emaphaketheni ethu ajulile.Udaba olusondelayo lwaseNew York lubonakala luphoqe uMeyer ukuthi axazulule izinkinga imithombo eminingi esitshela ukuthi incane kakhulu kunalokho obekulindelwe.
UMel wangitshela ukuthi akafuni ukuxoxa ngezahluko ezibuhlungu.“Angifuni ukuxoxa ngempilo yami esedlule nenhlangano kaTrump.Ngasinda emiphumeleni yobudlelwano bami, ngabushiya ngase ngiqhubeka nempilo yami.Ngikholelwa ekutheni itulo lomphakathi kanye nokuhwebelana kwebhizinisi kucace ngokwanele ukuthi ungabhala nganoma yisiphi isihloko ofuna ukusikhanyisela,” kubhala uMeyer ku-imeyili yakhe.
Usomabhizinisi waseBronx uCarlos Perez naye wahlabeka umxhwele ngokuzibophezela kukaDon Jr. kanye nomdlandla ophelele ekuqaleni.U-Perez wayenethemba lokuba usomabhizinisi wezenhlalakahle lapho yena nozakwabo enkampanini yaseTunisia i-Tactic Homes bevuma ukuthenga izinsiza zezindlu ze-Titan Atlas ezingu-36,000 ezingabiza cishe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-900, ayehlele ukuzithumela eMpumalanga Ephakathi.“UDon Omncane wangazi ku-Adamu;Ngangiseyingane yaseDominican ekhulela eWashington Heights.Kodwa wabonisa isithakazelo.Kwakusho lukhulu,” kukhumbula uPerez.Ngomqondo othile, isivumelwano siyafiseleka, njengoba i-Tactic Homes ayinayo imali yokuthenga wonke la makhithi.UPerez uthe uTrump Jr. noBlackburn banxuse abalingani ababili ukuthi basayine isivumelwano sokuvelela, bethi lesi sivumelwano sizosiza izinhlangothi zombili ukukhulisa imali.
I-Tactic Homes ikhokhele i-Titan Atlas cishe u-$115,000 ngamasethi amathathu ezindlu;inkampani ihlela ukwakha izindlu futhi izisebenzise njengamamodeli, ithola uxhaso lwezimali ezivela kuhulumeni - ngokufuna i-PR enhle ngemuva kwemibhikisho yase-Arab Spring - uku-oda izinkulungwane ezengeziwe.Kodwa lapho isiqukathi sifika, uzakwabo kaPeres waseFrench-Tunisia wabhalela uBlackburn noDon Jr. ekhononda ngokuthi isitsha sigcwele “udoti,” wengeza kwenye i-imeyili ukuthi “akunawindi, akukho zicabha, akunamakhabethe, akukho payipi, akukho. ugesi.”, azikho izintambo, azikho izinto ezifakwayo.”Ngisho nangemva kocingo lukaPerez nokuvakasha kukaTrump Tower, ama-imeyili engawathola kamuva abonisa uTrump Jr. enqaba ukuhoxa, kamuva wathumela ku-Twitter: I-imeyili kaPerez yabiza lezi zinsolo ngokuthi “bullshit.”Eqinisweni, ukuthunyelwa okuvela eTunisia kwakungesinye sezimo eziningi lapho kwakukhona izinkinga ngokuthunyelwa.
Bheka Ikhithi yamathuluzi ye-TAM ohlelweni lwebhizinisi.Le nkampani ithembise ukuguqula izindlu ezithengekayo emhlabeni wonke, kodwa isishiye ngemuva izikweletu nezintela ezingakhokhiwe.Isithombe: Uhlelo lwebhizinisi oluvela ku-Titan Atlas Manufacturing
UPerez, owagcina ukuhlangana noJunior eTrump Tower, usenethemba lokubuyiselwa imali ethile.“Ngiyayihlonipha kakhulu le ndoda,” kusho yena."Futhi bengicabanga ukuthi mhlawumbe uDon uzozibonela ukuthi kuyahlanya ukungasibuyiseli imali yethu."Kodwa esikhundleni salokho, uTrump Jr. wamtshela okuthile athi ngeke akukhohlwe.“UDon wathi, ‘Lalela, Carlos, uyamazi ubaba,’” kukhumbula uPerez.“Ukube ubaba uke wabhekana nalokhu, ubezonimangalela bafo.”Ngiyazi ukuthi lokho kusho ukuthini – ukube bekungubaba, ubengeke ahlonipheke kakhulu ukwamukela isicelo sokubuyiselwa imali.”
Isikhulu esiphezulu sebhange, u-Phillips Lee, singene singaqondile emizamweni ye-Titan Atlas Manufacturing yokuheha abatshalizimali.U-Lee, waseNew York, phambilini wayesebenzela i-Société Générale, eyaziwa ku-Wall Street ngokuthi yi-SocGen, ephethe uphiko lwayo lwezimali ezithunyelwa ngaphandle.Okukhethekile kwakhe ukuhlela ukuhwebelana kwezezimali nge-EXIM, ibhange elithumela ngaphandle likahulumeni wobumbano.
U-Lee uthe uzakwabo we-Titan Atlas wamtshela ukuthi i-Titan Atlas inamakhulu ezigidi zamaRandi esikweletini sikahulumeni waseNigeria.Kwa-SocGen, u-Lee wabhalela uNgqongqoshe wezeZindlu waseNigeria ngoSepthemba 2011 mayelana nesicelo sebhange lakhe sokuhlela imali ebolekiwe engu-$298 million evela ku-Federal Ministry of Housing and Lands ukuze kuthengwe izindlu kwa-Titan Atlas.Akazange aphendule.U-Lee uthe ubhale izincwadi ezifanayo nezikhulu eziphezulu zikahulumeni emhlabeni wonke azaziyo ukuthi nazo zinentshisekelo ngemikhiqizo yeTitan okuhlanganisa nomengameli waseZambia.
Akekho umholi womhlaba noma uhulumeni ophendule incwadi ka-Lee.Izikhulu zebhange zazisola.Ngakho-ke u-Lee wanquma ukuya eNingizimu Carolina ukuze avakashele ifekthri u-Trump Jr. no-Blackburn ababeyithenge ukuze "bakhahlele futhi baqhume," njengoba akubeka, inkampani efisa ukuvelela.“Ngangifuna ukwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi kukhona inkampani yangempela nokuthile phandle,” kukhumbula u-Lee.Uhambo lwabonakala lungenathemba kuye.“Kungokwezinga elincane kakhulu,” esho.“Bekuwukuhlinzwa kwamathambo okungakhiwe kahle.Babenendawo eningi ekhululekile.”
U-Lee ukhumbula exoxa ngalokho inkampani ekubiza ngokuthi isivumelwano esiqhubekayo.Kwenye inkontileka ikakhulukazi: “Ngabuza, 'Yinkulu kangakanani le nto?'[Uzakwethu we-Titan Atlas] uthe, “Kuzoba amayunithi angu-20,000,” kukhumbula u-Lee.“Ngathi, 'Yini lesihogo?'Ngakhipha umshini wokubala ngathi, “Lelo yibhiliyoni lamadola.Uxolo, lokhu ngeke kwenzeke.I-assortment egayekayo.Material - 500 amayunithi.Ekugcineni, ngokusho kuka-Lee, ubuhlobo bakhe ne-Titan Atlas bahlukana, bengazange baqedele noma yimiphi imisebenzi emikhulu.
I-Atlas Titan inezinye izinkinga.Ngo-2011, le nkampani yamangalelwa yisikhungo esiqasha abantu itoho esibizwa nge-Alternative Staff, esihlinzeka abasebenzi emafemini.Kunkontileka esayinwe nguKimble Blackburn, uyise kaJeremy Blackburn, owajoyina i-Titan Atlas ngawo lowo nyaka, i-Alternative Staffing yavuma ukunikeza inkampani abasebenzi abahlukahlukene.I-Titan Atlas ikhokhele ama-invoyisi amane okuqala ngokugcwele futhi yakhokha ingxenye ye-invoyisi yesihlanu.Kepha ngemuva kwalokho, inkampani ayizange ikhokhe emasontweni angama-26 alandelayo, ngokusho kwecala, naphezu kwezinsolo zokuthi umndeni wakwaTrump ubumbana nosomabhizinisi abancane kanye “nabaseMelika abakhohliwe.”
U-Ian Cappellini, umnikazi we-Alternative Staff, wangitshela ukuthi inkampani yamthembisa inkokhelo.Kamuva, emaphepheni asenkantolo, i-Titan Atlas yathi ayizange ikhokhe ngoba abanye babasebenzi bayo babe namarekhodi obugebengu.Okuxakayo ukuthi, uKimble Blackburn, isikhulu se-Titan Atlas esisayine inkontileka, naye unomlando wakhe wobugebengu.Ngo-2003, wawavuma amacala angu-36 okukhwabanisa wagwetshwa iminyaka engu-15 ebhadla ejele.Ummeli waseSevier County uDon Brown uthe ngaleso sikhathi leli cala "ngokungangabazeki laliwukukhwabanisa okukhulu kunakho konke okwake kwenziwa yisikhungo sikahulumeni wase-Utah."(Amacala awazange abe nerekhodi lobugebengu lika-Blackburn ngo-2012.)
Phela, ama-imeyili atholwe yi-New Republic kanye ne-Type Investigations abonisa ukuthi u-Trump Jr.Ngo-2013, uTrump Jr. wabhalela ozakwabo, ezishaya isifuba ngokuthi ukwazile “ukuxazulula icala elingu-$65,000 elibhekene nathi ngezitolimende ezintathu zenyanga zama-$7,500.”
U-Don Jr. uphinde wasiza ukukhuthaza umkhiqizo, i-TAM turbine yomoya, inkampani ethi "iyinjini yomoya eqinisekisiwe esebenza kahle kakhulu emakethe."
Isiphakamiso sebhizinisi engasithola sasihlanganisa nesithombe sika-Donald Trump Omncane kanye no-Jeremy Blackburn ophahleni lwe-Soho ka-Trump, bemamatheka phambi kwenye yezinjini zomoya okuthiwa ziwumlingo.
Kwesobunxele: U-Jeremy Blackburn ophahleni lwe-Trump's Soho esithombeni esithunyelwe abangaba abatshalizimali ngu-Donald Trump Jr. Kwesokudla: i-wind turbine ehlulekile ethengiswa yinkampani yabo.ISITHOMBE: ESISUKA KUHLELO LWEBHIZINISI LOKHIQIZWA lwe-TITAN ATLAS
Omunye wabathengi abambalwa abathenge ikhithi yezindlu ye-TAM wangitshela ukuthi ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngemva kokuba ikhithi yezindlu ifike eHaiti ngo-2011, elinye ibhokisi le-turbine yomoya lavela kanye nezinkulungwane zamaRandi imali ku-bill yokulethwa okwabonakala kungenanzuzo.izinto.Umamukeli, uJean-Claude Assali, ungitshele ukuthi udidekile ngoba akakaze awu-ode umkhiqizo.Kodwa ukholelwa ukuthi kuzosiza ukubhekana nokunqamuka kukagesi okuvamile okwalandela ukuzamazama komhlaba okwadala umonakalo eHaiti ngo-2010. Njengoba usomabhizinisi omncane waseHaiti wabuye wathenjiswa ukuthi angaba ummeleli wezokuthengisa enkampanini ephethwe indodana kasozigidi uDonald Trump, u-Assali wanquma. ukukhokha.Kepha i-turbine ibonakale ingenamsebenzi, kusho u-Assali, eyichaza njengesiqephu esingahlanganisiwe futhi ngokusobala esilahlekile.
Ithuba elisezingeni eliphansi lokusebenzela u-Donald Trump Jr. eHaiti alizange lifike.Ngo-2012, i-Titan Atlas Manufacturing yayingene shí ezinkantolo nasezikweletini futhi yaphelelwa yibhizinisi.
Lapho ngikhuluma no-Asali ngocingo olukhalayo oluphuma ePort-au-Prince, wayesakhungathekile ngenxa yobuhlungu bokulahlekelwa.Wayefuna ngitshele u-Donald Trump Omncane. ukuthi yena noma uyise akanagqubu, kodwa kufanele ngitshele u-Donald Omncane ukuthi ufuna ukubuyiselwa imali.
I-Titan Atlas Manufacturing iphinde yasebenzisa ithuba le-federal stimulus package yenkathi ka-Obama ngokuthengisa izinjini zomoya ze-TAM ezinhlanu edolobheni laseNorth Charleston.Kwaphela isikhathi efakwe ophahleni lwehholo lomuzi.I-Titan Atlas ithembise ukuhlinzeka idolobha ngogesi ongu-50,000 kilowatts ngonyaka, owanele ukufaka ugesi ezindlini ezingu-50 inyanga yonke.Incwadi evela enkampanini eya kumphathi wezibonelelo zikahulumeni wedolobha ithi, “Le turbine inegunya lobunikazi futhi awekho amanye ama-turbines angaqhathaniseka ngokuklama noma ukusebenza.Abekho abanye abaqhudelana nabo abaziwayo noma imikhiqizo encintisanayo efanele lolu hlelo lokusebenza. "uhlelo nokusetshenziswa.ukuphela komthombo walo mkhiqizo.”IMeya yaseNyakatho yeCharleston, uKeith Summi, osayine isicelo kanye noxhaso lwezimali, uzoqhubeka nokugcina inkontileka neSibhedlela Samasosha Amanzi.Ngaleso sikhathi, u-Sammi wayekhangisa iphrojekthi yenjini yomoya, etshela i-Charleston Post ne-Courier, “Kuyingxenye yobuchwepheshe obuphambili esizama ukubuletha.”
Kodwa i-turbine ngokusobala ayizange ikhiqize amandla abonakalayo futhi yasuswa ngobuhlakani ngo-2014 ngezindleko zedolobha eminyakeni embalwa ngemuva kokufakwa.Umsizi weSummi, uJulie Elmore, ubhalele abasebenzi bomkhandlu ebatshela ngokwenzekile nokuthi bathini uma abezindaba befona.Ubhale ukuthi ufuna ukwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi abasebenzi “ababambeki,” wengeza ngokuthi idolobha alifuni “ukubaphonsa imali eyengeziwe ngoba asinayo indlela yangempela yokukala ukusebenza kwabo.”
Akumangalisi ukuthi izinjini ze-TAM zingasebenzi ngokulambisa, uchwepheshe wamandla omoya uPaul Gipe wangitshela, ebiza ukwakheka kwawo kubi kune-pseudoscience."Idizayini yokuqala ye-Windtronics ibingeke ikwazi ukusebenzisa isibani sama-watt ayi-100 unyaka wonke," kwengeza uGaip.
"Umklamo wokuqala we-Windtronics ube nezinkinga ngokusebenzisa i-100-watt light bulb unyaka wonke."
Engxoxweni nami ngo-2018, uBlackburn, esikhundleni sokubuza imibuzo mayelana nezinjini zomoya ezingasebenzi njengoba ayethenjisiwe, wathi yena noDon Jr. babengenandaba ngoba, eqinisweni, i-Titan Atlas yayisanda kuqamba kabusha umkhiqizo ohlukile.“Kufana nokuthi iFord Motor Company yangakubo ayibenzi amaFord kodwa iyawadayisa,” kusho uBlackburn.“Sithengisa izinjini zomoya, eziyingxenye yohlelo lwethu [lwezinhlelo] ezihlanganisiwe ezikunikeza amandla akho.Ngakho siyawadayisa ama-turbines, kodwa asiwakhi ama-turbines.”ngenkathi inkampani itshela i-Charleston Post kanye ne-Courier ukuthi i-Titan izodala cishe imisebenzi eyi-100 yokukhiqiza izinjini zomoya embonini yayo yaseNorth Charleston.Ukwengeza, isethulo somtshali-zimali se-Titan Atlas esisitholile sithi inkampani ihlela ukunwebeka eDolobheni lase-Mexico “ngemigqa yokukhiqiza engu-120,000 sq., 3 yokuxhasa nokwenza izinjini zomoya.
Kusukela ekubulaweni okudabukisayo kwePhini likaMongameli we-TAM Energy uRobert Torres ngoJuni 2011, uKimble Blackburn ube ngumuntu obalulekile ku-Titan Atlas naphezu komlando wakhe wokukhwabanisa.Umdala uBlackburn uthathe izibopho eziningi zikaTorres, okuhlanganisa nokuba othintana nedolobha nge-Titan Atlas ngemuva kokuqeda ukuthengisa izinjini zomoya kanye nokuthola inkontileka nabanye abasebenzi.
Ejoyintini le-Red Robin burger eduze kwase-Atlanta, indodana ka-Torres uScott wabelane nami nge-iPhone kayise yakudala manje, equkethe imiyalezo ehlobene nomsebenzi wakhe.U-Torres Jr. wangitshela ukuthi lapho uDon Jr. eqinisekisa yena ngokwakhe njenge-VP ye-TAM Energy ngasekupheleni kuka-2010, uyise wayesemasosheni iminyaka eminingana futhi wayejabule kakhulu, umlayezo wombhalo oqinisekisa i-akhawunti.
Ngenkathi ngixoxa noJeremy Blackburn endaweni yokugcina impahla ye-Titan Atlas engenalutho ngo-2018, wakhumbula ukushona kukaTorres ekuseni.“Ngangisocingweni naye ngabo-5:30 ekuseni futhi akafikanga emhlanganweni wethu ngo-7 ekuseni, ngakho ngaya kwakhe ngo-8:30 am bamxosha,” kusho uBlackburn.UScott Torres wangitshela ukuthi uBlackburn ubambe inkonzo yesikhumbuzo kaTorres ngesikhathi efika eNorth Charleston.Uthe uBlackburn wamtshela ukuthi uyise angase acasuke ngezinkinga emsebenzini, okungenzeka ukuthi zihlobene nendaba enkulu neChina.
Yize kungacaci kahle ukuthi bekuyini isivumelwano neChina, uphenyo lwethu luhlonze izinkontileka ezimbili ezingabiza amakhulu ezigidi zamaRandi.Isivumelwano sokuqala esikhulu sasingo-2010 nenkampani yaseMexico i-KAFE.
Inkontileka ne-KAFE inesifiso sokuvelela, isho ukuthi i-TAM izohlinzeka ngamakhithi e-TAM angu-43,614, i-KAFE ezowasebenzisa ukwakha “izindlu zamasosha” kuhulumeni waseMexico, okuletha inani eliphelele lesivumelwano phezu kwamaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-500.Ngokombiko kanye nemithombo kaBlackburn eMexico, uTrump Jr noBlackburn baya eSonora, eMexico okungenani kanye ngo-2010 ukuyohlangana nezikhulu eziphezulu zokuphatha.
Lapho ngicwaninga nge-KAFE, ngathola ukuthi inkampani incane kangangokuthi ihhovisi layo lingaphezu kwesitolo sefenisha eDolobheni laseMexico.Kunzima ukuthola noma ubani owazi lutho ngenkampani, kodwa ngilandele umkhondo wangaphambili isisebenzi, umlawuli, ocele ukungadalulwa kodwa wanikeza imininingwane ethile mayelana nenkontileka eyinqaba ne-Titan Atlas Manufacturing.Yebo, umphathi wakhe, uSergio Flores, waba nezingxoxo eziningi no-Titan Atlas, kodwa ngokwazi kwakhe, abazange bathumele kits ye-TAM eMexico.
Asitholanga bufakazi bokuthi zikhona izindlu ezake zakhiwa eMexico kusetshenziswa izinto ze-Titan Atlas.UDonald Trump Jr. akazange aphendule imibuzo mayelana nesivumelwano athunyelwa yi-CNN ngommeli wakhe.Abatshalizimali abangaba khona kanye namakhasimende afana noCarlos Perez bathi batshelwe ngalokhu kanye nezinye izinto okuthiwa zibalulekile njengobufakazi bokusebenza kwenkampani.Inkampani yabameli yaseNew York iSolomon Blum Heymann yabhala inkontileka futhi yaqeda omunye umsebenzi we-Titan Atlas.Le nkampani yachazwa ebufakazini bukaBlackburn “njengomeluleki wezomthetho” ku-Titan Atlas.Kepha izinkampani azikaze zikhokhe ama- $ 310,759 ukuze zisebenze ku-Titan Atlas, ngokusho kwefayela lokuqothuka kweBlackburn lango-2013 kanye nomthombo osondelene nenkampani.Imithombo yangitshela ukuthi uDon Jr wayezibandakanye yena mathupha futhi yathi le nkampani “yamangala” nguDon Jr noBlackburn, yengeza ngokuthi le nkampani yaqamba amanga enkampanini yabameli futhi yathembisa ukukhokha “uma umsebenzi usuqediwe”.
USolomon Blum Heymann bekungeyena yedwa inkampani yezomthetho engakhokhiwe yi-Titan Atlas Manufacturing.UMendelsohn no-Drucker, inkampani yabameli ezinze e-Philadelphia emele inkampani embangweni welungelo lobunikazi, ithole ngaphezulu kuka-$400,000 ekwahluleleni ngokumelene ne-Titan Atlas, okuhlanganisa izimali ezingakhokhiwe kanye nenzalo.Imithombo eminingi ingitshela ukuthi i-Titan Atlas ikhokhe ama- $ 100,000 kuphela kanti enye ayikakhokhelwa.“Irekhodi laleli cala libonisa umlando wokubambezeleka,” kubhala iJaji lesiFunda sase-US uMichael Bailson ngo-2013. “I-Titan isaqhubeka nokwephula isimiso sokuthi izinkampani kufanele zimelwe ummeli.Ezinyangeni ezingama-24 ezedlule, izinkampani zabameli ezine kuye kwadingeka zenqabe ukumela i-Titan ngenxa yokuthi i-Titan yehluleka kaningi ukukhokhela izethulo ezingokomthetho ezitholiwe.”
Ngisho noma i-Titan ibalekela izindleko zomthetho ezinezibalo eziyisithupha, u-Don Jr angazuza esikweletini esisilele.I-TNR ithole amakhophi entela ka-Don Jr. ka-2011 kanye no-2012 ye-Titan Atlas Manufacturing federal tax returns, agcwaliswe ngefomu elaziwa ngokuthi i-K-1.Ngo-2011, amafomu entela abonisa ukuthi u-Don Jr. ulahlekelwe ngu-$1,080,373.Ngo-2012, walahlekelwa u-$439,119.
Lokhu kubuya kuphakamisa umbuzo onzima kuDon Jr. ukuthi indodana endala yalowo owayengumengameli yayinezikweletu ezingazange zikhokhelwe yini, wabe esefuna lezo zikweletu njengembuyiselo.Ukuze kucace, asazi noma izindleko zentela yakhe azikhokhiwe yini.Sibuze ukuthi ingabe uTrump Omncane udonse izindleko ezingakhokhiwe, kodwa asizange sithole impendulo.
Lezi zimali ezibanjwayo zisikhumbuza lokho okwabikwa yi-New York Times esihlokweni sayo sokuqala ngezintela zikaMongameli uTrump, okwathi u-Trump Sr. wayefuna ukulahlekelwa okukhulu nokungabazekayo ukuze athole ukubuyiselwa kwemali kwentela okungu-$72.9 million.
Imbuyiselo yentela kaTrump Jr. ye-Titan Atlas yayihlanganisa ukubanjwa kuka-$431,603 ngo-2011 kanye no-$492,283 ngo-2012 ngalokho akubiza ngokuthi “izindleko zomsebenzi,” okuyisigaba esihlanganisa izindleko zomthetho nezokubalwa kwezimali, ngokusho kwe-IRS.Imali ebanjwayo yeminyaka emibili ibe ngaphezu kuka-$923,000 wezindleko ezibikiwe.
