The Trump Files: The Easiest 13 Cents He Ever Made
Tim Murphy National Correspondent
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/08/trump-files-spy-magazine-prank/
Spy correspondent Julius Lowenthal wanted to know just how cheap some of the citys richest figures were. So he set up a company, called the National Refund Clearinghouse, and sent letters with checks for $1.11 enclosed, for services that you were overcharged for. The letters went out to 58 well-known, well-heeled Americans, 26 of whom promptly cashed them. Curious as to how low they might go, Lowenthal sent those 26 nabobs a second refund check, for $0.64. This time, 13 people cashed them.
Finally, he sent those 13 respondents a check for $0.13. This time, only two people cashed the check. One was an arms dealer. The other was Donald Trump, whom the magazine identified as a demibillionaire casino operator and adulturer.
