>NEW YORK (AP) โ Donald Trumpโs chief financial officer is expected to plead guilty to tax violations Thursday in a deal that would require him to testify about illicit business practices at the former presidentโs company, two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
>Allen Weisselberg is charged with taking more than $1.7 million in off-the-books compensation from the Trump Organization over several years, including untaxed perks like rent, car payments and school tuition.
>The plea deal would require Weisselberg to speak in court Thursday about the companyโs role in the alleged compensation arrangement and possibly serve as a witness when the Trump Organization goes on trial in October on related charges, the people said.
>The two people were not authorized to speak publicly about the case and did so on condition of anonymity.
>Weisselberg, 75, is likely to receive a sentence of five months in jail, to be served at New York Cityโs notorious Rikers Island complex, and he could be required to pay about $2 million in restitution, including taxes, penalties and interest, the people said. If that punishment holds, Weisselberg would be eligible for release after about 100 days.

If the only things anyone did were things people paid them to do, the only things that would ever get done are the things the wealthy find profitable. What a sad world that would be.
Some of us volunteer at parks.
Some of us volunteer at soup kitchens.
Some of us volunteer advice and knowledge.
Is this really that much different?
Yeah, Reddit is a for-profit company. It's still worth it to volunteer moderation duties to ensure that people have a corner to discuss and debate without having to worry about bullies. Sure, it would be nice to get a free subscription to Premium or something, but that's not going to be the main motivation.
I use uBlock Origin. This is my way of paying back the site. Well, that and all the awards I give away or generate.
And believe you me, I very much enjoy moderating bullies and keeping vulnerable populations safe from their bullying. Clicking "ban" on some random racist so they can't call someone names? Ohhhh that's payment enough.
