reporter Susanne Craig (care of Trump Tower, apparently).。

The pages reportedly indicate the real estate mogul claimed a $916 million loss that year, "from the financial wreckage he left behind in the early 1990s through mismanagement of three Atlantic City casinos, his ill-fated foray into the airline business and his ill-timed purchase of the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan."

suggested such an enormous claimed loss could allow the reality television star to "cancel out an equivalent amount of taxable income over an 18-year period." 。

Even though the hour was late, the internet awoke, ceased all partying and brought its opinions to bear on the newly released information.

This sent many cyber-sleuths off trying to uncover the hidden mole who released the papers to the public.。
