    Incidentally, this filing has disappeared from the system. However, there is another one, this time against Woody Forest, brought by a Tim Burr.

    Not an amusing insolvency filing, but an amusing filing about insolvency:

    A number of companies that were associated with President Trump have filed for bankruptcy. There can be no assurances that TMTG will not also become bankrupt.

    Entities associated with President Trump have filed for bankruptcy protection. The Trump Taj Mahal, which was built and owned by President Trump, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1991. The Trump Plaza, the Trump Castle, and the Plaza Hotel, all owned by President Trump at the time, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1992. THCR, which was founded by President Trump in 1995, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2004. Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc., the new name given to Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts after its 2004 bankruptcy,



    109


    declared bankruptcy in 2009. While all of the foregoing were in different businesses than TMTG, there can be no guarantee that TMTG’s performance will exceed the performance of those entities.

    A number of companies that had license agreements with President Trump have failed. There can be no assurances that TMTG will not also fail.

    Trump Shuttle, Inc., launched by President Trump in 1989, defaulted on its loans in 1990 and ceased to exist by 1992. Trump University, founded by President Trump in 2005, ceased operations in 2011 amid lawsuits and investigations regarding the company’s business practices. Trump Vodka, a brand of vodka produced by Drinks Americas under license from the Trump Organization, was introduced in 2005 and discontinued in 2011. Trump Mortgage, LLC, a financial services company founded by President Trump in 2006, ceased operations in 2007. GoTrump.com, a travel site founded by President Trump in 2006, ceased operations in 2007. Trump Steaks, a brand of steak and other meats founded by President Trump in 2007, discontinued sales two months after its launch. While all these businesses were in different industries than TMTG, there can be no guarantee that TMTG’s performance will exceed the performance of these entities.

    Quite impressive for a digital assets custodian to go bust in the current market.

    Yeah, it's a little obtuse if you're not already deep in it.

    The second one is the owner, or at least the shareholder of the owner, of the former, which is a shopping centre in Norwich. The winding up petition is being brought by the partners of the fund managers (after receivers were appointed last year), so they are very much quitting.

    Wasn't much chance of him attending anyway, given that he faces jail time if he sets foot in the country.
