Trump got a lot of people to invest in his Rosarito Beach development using the Trump University methodology.
The wanabee shakedown artist got shaken down by the traditional Mexican graft/pay to play system that depleted all the investors cash. The moment he ran out of other peoples' money, he shut the project down and left both investors and mexican workers in the lurch.
@Norm Lenhart @Smokin Joe @kartographer And he did it the traditional Trump way. He got on the board and then managed to get his children on the board,also. Next thing you know,the entire Trump family is getting huge salaries,plus all their living and travel expenses were charged to the Corporation,and The Donald and his "board" were refusing to pay the contractors,and likely the local Mexican authorities who were supposed to be getting paid to look the other way about foreign nationals owning beachfront property in Mexico. When it went completely upside down,Trump walked away from it. He eventually settled the lawsuits with the contractors and suppliers by agreeing to pay them LESS than half of what they were owned,but nobody knows for sure what the actual figure was because there was a confidentiality clause in the payoffs that would have forced any who talked to return all the money they had been paid,plus a fine for talking.
Kinda like he is doing now with his campaign,selling basball hats,t-shirts,etc,etc,etc that he gets made in China to his own campaign for a YUGE mark up,and then the campaign selling them to his supporters for a even larger markup,and then paying himself and his children from the profits the campaign makes from selling the crap. He is also billing his campaign for the use of his private jet,the crew,his limos,chauffers,cooks,assistants,etc,etc,etc. Basically,everybody from his organization that he can put on the campaign books,goes on them and the campaign pays their salaries and expenses instead of Trump.
