A Question I'd Like To Ask Of Donald Trump And Warren Buffet Options

[paulmichael]

One of my grandfather's proverbs went something like this: the garden of a landowner thrives when he pays attention to it.

Here's a question I'd like to pose to Donald Trump and Warren Buffet: is it possible, in light of the proverb above, for the net worth of a billionaire to QUINTUPLE in about 11 years when he's off full-time playing mayor of a major metropolis while delegating his business empire to others?

I already know the roundly expressed positions of the sharks on "Shark Tank," especially that of billionaire Mark Cuban, regarding the hard work, dedication, sacrifice and attention that it takes to make an enterprise grow. The sharks take a dim view of part-time, non-committed would-be entrepreneurs and an even dimmer view of playboy types.

Some random thoughts:

Mayor Michael Bloomberg's net worth was estimated to be only $5Bil when he ran for Mayor of New York City in 2001. (See: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/18/nyregion/18mayor.html?_r=0 [July, 2008].)

As of September, 2012, Forbes Magazine estimates Bloomberg's net worth at a staggering $25Bil. (See: http://www.forbes.com/profile/michael-bloomberg/ .)

Michael Bloomberg is less than six degrees of separation from one-time fugitive billionaire Marc Rich having come out of the same financial institution as Marc Rich.

Michael Bloomberg is less than six degrees of separation from one-time fugitive billionaire Marc Rich by being a really tight bosom buddy with 9/11 NYC Mayor Rudolph Giuliani who was the lead prosecutor on the criminal case of Marc Rich when Giuliani served as a U.S. Attorney (Manhattan Office).

The original indictment against Marc Rich for which he received a pardon from former President Bill Clinton included a charge of money laundering.

The disguising of the true ownership of money is a form of money laundering.

The claiming of ill-gotten gain as the revenues of an ostensibly legitimate business is a form of money laundering.

At the time of the 9/11 demolition of the WTC, there were money laundering investigations going on in WTC 7 and WTC 6. The evidence for these cases apparently was destroyed.

Two webpages belonging to two different major news organizations presented a possible link between Marc Rich and the Russian mafia. These two webpages were both sanitized from the Net circa July, 2011, then, some time later, they were unsanitized.

Marc Rich, pre-9/11, was reputed to be an arms dealer to Iran and North Korea.

The Russian mafia is reputed to deal in arms, as well.

Did we ever learn who provided arms to the so-called insurgents of Iraq and Afghanistan?

Who in his right mind spends $160,000,000 to campaign for an uncertain mayoral job that pays only $1 per year? Why? Why? Why?

The federal government granted $53Bil to the administration of New York City in the first year alone after 9/11 to fight terrorism. Who is managing all this money? Where did it all go? Don't ask me.

The Mayor of New York City has power to appoint over many judgeships in the courts of NYC, INCLUDING many in the State Supreme Courts of the five boroughs.

Larry Silverstein, leaseholder of the WTC, pressed his lawsuit seeking damages for the destruction of the WTC in a New York City court.

This writer witnessed mind-boggling rigging of proceedings in the New York State Supreme Court, Bronx County and in the Bronx County Housing Court during the Giuliani administration when going up against the DiTomasso/Solari family. The Supreme Court judge later received the first (of a possible three) special reappointment(s); otherwise she would have been forced into retirement due to age.

See my earlier post for even more random thoughts: "Joseph Solari, a Now-Deceased Bronx Goodfella (9/11 Connection??)" in the Alternate Theories forum.

It's interesting to note that Michael Bloomberg's name is conspicuously absent from his own list of the world's richest people. (See: http://topics.bloomberg.com/bloomberg-billionaires-index/ ).

I wonder. Is he (and his wealth) trying to keep a low profile ever since this thread was posted... in a 9/11 Truth forum, no less?

The webpage cited above does state: "Bloomberg News editorial policy is to not cover Bloomberg LP. As a result Michael Bloomberg, the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, won’t be considered for this ranking."
