I haven't bothered to personally check it out because that's Trump's MO: get the work done, then stiff the workers.

I know Krasnov said that he was getting private money to pay for the golden ballroom but we all should have understood that money was meant for Krasnov's pockets, meant for bribes not for demolition and construction workers.

7. $300 million dollar ballroom. Was first $200m, then $250m. Private donations. Very little accountability.

How much is being taken in as 'donations'?
How much is actually spent?
What happens to the excess?

Very little accountability.
