19. It had to be fake; there's no way payment for the job would have been past due yet.

The demolition just occurred on October 23, only 2-1/2 weeks ago, and probably wouldn't have even been billed until Oct. 31 at the earliest. Big jobs like that typically are billed on the last day of the month in which the work was done, and the payment doesn't become past due until whatever period the contract designates elapses, probably 30 days. Trump regularly stiffs contractors, of course; but this job was probably billed to the government (allegedly to be "reimbursed" by the oligarchs), which takes even longer to pay.
