"The defendants built GPB Capital on a foundation of lies," stated United States Attorney Nocella. "They raised approximately $1.6 billion from individual investors based on false promises of generating investment returns from the profits of portfolio companies, all while using investor capital to pay distributions and create a false appearance of success. The sentences imposed today are well deserved and should serve as a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail. My Office is committed to protecting the investing public and the integrity of the financial markets."

Mr. Nocella expressed his appreciation to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York City Business Integrity Commission, and the New York City Police Department for their valuable assistance with the case.

"For years, David Gentile and Jeffry Schneider wove a web of lies to steal more than one billion dollars from investors through empty promises of guaranteed profits and unlawfully rerouting funds to provide an illusion of success. The defendants abused their high-ranking positions within their company to exploit the trust of their investors and directly manipulate payments to perpetuate this scheme. May today's sentencing deter anyone who seeks to greedily profit off their clients through deceitful practices," stated FBI Assistant Director in Charge Raia.

Between approximately 2015 and 2018, the defendants defrauded investors and prospective investors in the GPB Funds through misrepresentations about the performance of the GPB Funds and the source of the investors' monthly distributions.

In 2015 and 2016, the defendants, with their co-conspirators, used fraudulent, back-dated "performance guarantees" to artificially inflate the income of Holdings I and GPB AP. The performance guarantees were executed by GPB operating partner Jeffrey Lash for certain dealerships owned by the funds and falsely represented that Lash had agreed to cover a shortfall in profits at the dealerships. In or about March 2015, at the direction of the defendants, Lash executed two performance guarantees falsely representing that he had agreed to cover a shortfall in profits at two dealerships owned by Holdings I for audit year 2014. In April 2016, the defendants and Lash executed another fraudulent performance guarantee for a dealership owned by GPB AP for audit year 2015. Gentile then routed funds from another GPB-owned fund through Lash's accounts to create the appearance that the performance guarantee had been paid. Holdings I and GPB AP booked the fraudulent performance guarantees in their audited financial statements, artificially inflating the funds' returns as presented to investors for 2014 and 2015 respectively. After fraudulently inflating their audited financial statements, the GPB Funds raised approximately $1 billion from investors.

Between approximately August 2015 and December 2018, the defendants also misrepresented the source of the monthly distributions paid to investors. Specifically, the defendants represented to investors and prospective investors that GPB would pay monthly distributions from income generated by portfolio companies when in fact they used investor capital to cover a significant share of the distributions paid by the GPB Funds. At the direction of the defendants, the GPB Funds used approximately $100 million in investor capital to cover distributions to investors and maintain the Funds' distribution rates.

Lash, the defendants' co-conspirator, pleaded guilty to wire fraud in 2023 and will be sentenced at a later date.

Let me guess . . . this was yet another unfair Biden prosecution?

You mean David Gentile wasn't involved in a Ponzi scheme?

The fraudster served only 12 days of his 7-year sentence.

Shocker.

Did Trump pardon David Gentile? He served 12 days of his 7-year sentence

---

The answer is probably that Trump doesn't think financial crimes are really crimes. I wonder why?

---

Because Donald Trump is a TOTAL FRAUD.
He likes fraudsters who inflate their performance and use that to raise money from investors.

Here's 6 minutes of old man non-diplomatic racist hate speech.
A senior person at the table bangs on it to end it at the end. Like an applause bang, but in reality a STFU interruption.

Truly shocking that this guy is president. Total POS.

President Donald Trumps Name Added To The US Institute of Peace Building

WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 03: U.S. President Donald Trump's name is seen recently placed on the outside of the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) building headquarters on December 03, 2025 in Washington, DC. This addition was made ahead of the Trump administration hosting a deal-signing between the leaders of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Trump administration has renamed the U.S. Institute of Peace after President Donald Trump and has planted the president's name on the organization's headquarters despite an ongoing fight over the institute's control.

It's the latest twist in a seesaw court battle over who controls the U.S. Institute of Peace, a nonprofit think tank that focuses on peace initiatives. It was an early target of the Department of Government Efficiency this year.

On Wednesday, the State Department said it renamed the organization to the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace to "reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation's history." The new name could be seen on its building, which is near the State Department.


Trump has spent months openly lobbying for a Nobel Peace Prize even though he was passed over for this year's installment arguing he had a hand in easing a series of conflicts around the world. But Trump has also ordered strikes on suspected drug vessels off the coast of Venezuela and repeatedly threatened that attacks on land could be coming, which would be an act of war against that country.

The takeover of the Peace Institute was also anything but peaceful, with his administration seizing the independent entity and ousting its board before actually affixing his name to the building.

Anna Kelly, a White House spokesperson, said: "The United States Institute of Peace was once a bloated, useless entity that blew $50 million per year while delivering no peace. Now, the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, which is both beautifully and aptly named after a President who ended eight wars in less than a year, will stand as a powerful reminder of what strong leadership can accomplish for global stability."

She added, "Congratulations, world!"


George Foote, a lawyer for the former Institute leadership and staff, said the renaming "adds insult to injury."

"A federal judge has already ruled that the government's armed takeover was illegal. That judgment is stayed while the government appeals, which is the only reason the government continues to control the building," Foote said.

Since March, the headquarters has switched hands multiple times in court actions related to the DOGE takeover. A final decision on its fate is pending in federal appeals court.

USIP has maintained the organization is an independent creation of Congress and outside the president's executive authority. The administration argues it is an executive branch organization.


After Trump fired the institute's board in the the spring, the staff was fired as well and the building was turned over to the General Services Administration.


A federal district court overturned the action in May, putting the headquarters back into the hands of USIP leadership. But that action was reversed weeks later by a federal appeals court.

Employees at this juncture have been fired twice and the building is in GSA's possession.

The building is expected to be the backdrop for the signing of a peace agreement Thursday between Congo's President Felix Tshisekedi and Rwanda's President Paul Kagame. High-ranking officials from the African Union, Angola, Burundi, Kenya, Togo, Qatar, Uganda and the United Arab Emirates are also expected to attend the signing, according to Yolande Makolo, a senior adviser to Kagame.


The USIP website remained unchanged Wednesday night, but its lead item was headlined, "President Donald J. Trump to Sign Historic Peace Agreement at USIP Headquarters," followed by a write-up of the deal between Congo and Rwanda that Trump was overseeing at the institute on Thursday.

The Institute of Peace was created by Congress in the 1980s. President Ronald Reagan signed the bill into law in 1985. Described as an independent, nonprofit think tank funded by Congress, its mission has been to work to promote peace and prevent and end conflicts while working outside normal channels such as the State Department. It was operating in 26 conflict zones, including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Mali and Burkina Faso, when DOGE shut the operation down.

There is also broad speculation that Trump will be awarded a new peace prize from FIFA on the sidelines of the World Cup draw, happening in Washington on Friday.

You are projecting like MAGAs like to do. Your MAGA team is winning the History Erasure contest by a wide margin:

"The Trump administration is attempting to erase or minimize the history and contributions of non-white people, women, and the LGBTQ+ community from federal government resources and public spaces.

The administration has stated these actions are intended to "restore truth and sanity" to American history and focus on national pride, rather than what it considers "divisive ideology".

Examples of actions cited by critics include:

Removal of online resources and data: Thousands of government web pages and datasets related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, public health, climate change, and specific histories of Black, Latino, and women service members were removed or modified across federal agencies, including the Department of Defense and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Changes to National Parks and monuments: The administration directed the National Park Service to review and remove signage, exhibits, and educational materials deemed to "disparage" the U.S. or its historical figures. This included removing a photo of an enslaved man's "scourged back" from Fort Pulaski National Monument and an exhibit on Indigenous history and racism at Muir Woods.

Renaming of natural landmarks: An executive order targeted place names, such as changing the name of Denali in Alaska back to Mount McKinley, which critics argue erases Indigenous history and connections to the land.

Influence on cultural institutions: The Smithsonian Institution's museums were reportedly instructed to focus on "American greatness" and avoid content on the negative aspects of U.S. history, such as the full realities of slavery.

Efforts to reshape historical narratives in education: The administration pushed for changes in school curricula to align with a narrative that emphasizes a "glorified" American history, while downplaying or removing discussions of slavery, segregation, and discrimination.

The administration's allies defend these executive actions as necessary to correct what they view as a skewed, left-wing interpretation of history. Historians and advocacy groups, such as the Organization of American Historians and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, have called these actions an "assault" on historical institutions and an attempt to rewrite the public record. Some of the data and information removed from government websites was later restored, often after public outcry or legal challenges."
AI Overview

*All of the above actions will be undone when Trump leaves Washington D.C. in disgrace.

Renaming back to their original names. Putting history back in place after it was removed by dems.
Please tell me who was tearing down statues and erasing history because it sure as hell wasn't republicans

In the case of McKinley you can make this argument, but the rest are just removing exhibits that point to some of the negative aspects of American history, like treatment of slaves and Native American tribes.

---

My argument is that dems like to try and erase history and you're proving my point.

Are you arguing that it's okay to remove history you deem negative?

No he's not lying. You used different polls. Disagree with his numbers but you gotta stop calling people liars for no reason. Like the boy who cried wolf bro. You're not always right, sorry bro

Rasmussen pretty much always has rosier numbers for Republicans than other polls.

Ann Selzer's poll in Iowa is one that a lot of people look to as a bellwether of how things are going in the midwest, because a shift in Iowa usually correlates to one across MI, WI, PA, MN, OH, etc. (It pointed to Trump beating expectations in 2016 and 2020, for example.) If this accuracy trend continues, then a blue shift like this would mean Trump is done. He can't win without picking off at least one of the midwestern blue states, and Iowa is redder than Wisconsin or Pennsylvania.

---

I mean, it would have been embarrassing enough just you thinking that Kamala had a chance to win Iowa because of one hilariously way off the reservation poll, but then you extrapolated that to having meaning in other states, all of which Trump not only won but won decisively.

The whole period from 2021-25 was Democrats trying to speak things into existence that obviously weren't true, but they were desperate to believe were true. Republicans are now following that same playbook with the economy and imagining that things are better than they obviously are. Furthermore, the two wars Trump said he would end haven't ended and he's threatening a third, none of which are wanted by the majority of the country. People didn't like Democrats lying to them and punished them for it and I doubt they're going to like it any better from Republicans. But regardless of who's in power, the big things aren't changing. Economy still favors the ultra-rich, ****s the poor and middle class, and the wars never end.

---

No argument there but that doesn't mean he was lying by posting it. Many polling numbers posted here are done by organizations that paint rosier pictures for dems. It goes both ways

---

Wags' link there is a composite of multiple polls, one that includes Rasmussen, so I'd rate that as "more honest" than just pointing at one poll.

---

Again not arguing that and haven't been but calling someone a liar for posting legit polling numbers is dumb.

You are projecting like MAGAs like to do. Your MAGA team is winning the History Erasure contest by a wide margin:

"The Trump administration is attempting to erase or minimize the history and contributions of non-white people, women, and the LGBTQ+ community from federal government resources and public spaces.

The administration has stated these actions are intended to "restore truth and sanity" to American history and focus on national pride, rather than what it considers "divisive ideology".

Examples of actions cited by critics include:

Removal of online resources and data: Thousands of government web pages and datasets related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, public health, climate change, and specific histories of Black, Latino, and women service members were removed or modified across federal agencies, including the Department of Defense and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Changes to National Parks and monuments: The administration directed the National Park Service to review and remove signage, exhibits, and educational materials deemed to "disparage" the U.S. or its historical figures. This included removing a photo of an enslaved man's "scourged back" from Fort Pulaski National Monument and an exhibit on Indigenous history and racism at Muir Woods.

Renaming of natural landmarks: An executive order targeted place names, such as changing the name of Denali in Alaska back to Mount McKinley, which critics argue erases Indigenous history and connections to the land.

Influence on cultural institutions: The Smithsonian Institution's museums were reportedly instructed to focus on "American greatness" and avoid content on the negative aspects of U.S. history, such as the full realities of slavery.

Efforts to reshape historical narratives in education: The administration pushed for changes in school curricula to align with a narrative that emphasizes a "glorified" American history, while downplaying or removing discussions of slavery, segregation, and discrimination.

The administration's allies defend these executive actions as necessary to correct what they view as a skewed, left-wing interpretation of history. Historians and advocacy groups, such as the Organization of American Historians and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, have called these actions an "assault" on historical institutions and an attempt to rewrite the public record. Some of the data and information removed from government websites was later restored, often after public outcry or legal challenges."

If you read my entire comments on that poll, I said "if" it was true it would mean "XYZ." In the run-up to that election I repeatedly said that I thought the election looked like a 50/50 shot and didn't really know who would win. I also said that if pushed, I would argue for Harris having an edge but I wasn't confident about it. That is all.
