    tldr;

    Honestly, if any family member knows the details of the Trump companies’ inflated valuations, it would be Ivanka. She was the main reason Deutsche Bank agreed to work with Trump in the first place, and bank officials apparently understood her to be the heir apparent. Forbes magazine dealt with Trump’s valuation problems for years, and Ivanka was right in the thick of it. As the magazine reported this week:

    " The attorney general will have plenty of questions for Donald Trump’s eldest daughter. Ivanka helped lead the acquisition of two assets at the center of the lawsuit, the Trump hotel in Washington, D.C. and the Trump National Doral golf resort in Miami. She also lived in another property caught up in the proceedings, a condo building named Trump Park Avenue in New York City."

      Hopefully your comment isn’t taken down. I lost three posts because I posted short excerpts summarizing the post, and because they were removed I couldn’t go back to edit them to fix them. So now I don’t try to offer any tldr’s any longer.

        Two paragraphs should be fine, it’s when you start quoting large blocks that it’s problematic.

        Think of it like this:

        If the article is 4 paragraphs, and you quote 3 of them, that’s not really fair use.

        If the article is 30 paragraphs and you quote 3 of them to make the point, that’s fine. :)

        Keep it less than, say, 30% of the original article and you should generally be safe. More than 50%? Not so much.

        Pulling those numbers out of a hat, it’s not a defined rule. ;)

          I quoted two or three paragraphs out more than a dozen, just enough to establish the context, and got removed.

          So I’m done posting anything but the link and headline.

          This is apparently from the admins, so that the site doesn’t get DCMA takedowns that they can’t afford to fight.

            Why do lemmy world’s admins even run the damn site if they don’t have the slightest idea how the laws around hosting work? There is literally no issue here and if there was it would be solved by them THEN taking down the post. At this point it almost seems suspicious that this group of milquetoast liberals afraid of their own shadows managed to have the largest lemmy instance, for seemingly no good reason.

              Set up your own instance and show them how it’s done. They probably have better things to do to respond to DMCA requests

                They would easily spend more time pro-actively removing multiple comments than they would one dcma requested comment.

                  Presumably, they ask the mods to do that to avoid the DMCA shenanigans.

                  Would be good if it was clarified in the community rules, though.

                    Ah so they’re off sourcing the work to the mods.

                    Still it’s a system that creates more work than is actually needed.

        She got a pass on being a defendant because of statute of limitations. (You know, the thing were as long as you get away with a crime for long enough, you can never be prosecuted for it!)

        She did not get a pass on testifying, although she really, really wants one. Which means that her honest testimony is damning to Donald, to Ivanka, or to both.

        And, lol, she’s “heir apparent” to a company in receivership.
