100% intentional. Trump’s entire playbook for all these courtcases is to delay rulings until he can pardon himself after the election. A judge is gonna give them a week to resubmit with accurate paperwork.

That crazy seemingly drunk lady that gave false election fraud testimony to Congress - Terpsichore Maras did the same thing. She’s used lots of different spellings of her name while grifting. Makes it harder to keep track of all their bullshit.

Terpsichore Maras

Just looked into this lady and found that the newspaper where I grew up had an op-ed on her. I hope my mother saw it (she’s a Trump supporter), but I doubt it. She lives outside of the town-proper in the country. I doubt she has the paper delivered out there at this point. Oh well…

We have a no-politics rule. Thank goodness.

F. Borger? Or short, Forger?

Most likely someone who wants to be able to claim “This is not my signature” in court.

Maybe this is intentional.

No, hear me out. You know how sovereign citizen types get all worked up about how their LEGAL NAME (all caps, as typed on the birth certificate or whatever) and their Real Name (first letters capitalized only) refer to different entities? Maybe this dipstick thinks he is employing similar logic here.

“No, see, it wasn’t actually me because it’s spelled…”

Note that I’m not saying it actually makes sense or will work. But perhaps that is the minimal amount of thought process there?

There are other ways to wildly speculate as well if we are doing so evidence-free.

Maybe Ben was being pressured by someone to submit false information and he wanted to ensure his work was scrutinized more and falsehoods uncovered without explicitly bringing attention to the fact that this was his intention.

Does this allow him to charge Trump at 14x his regular rate?

I remember one time when my dad renewed his car’s tags they misspelled his name on one of the forms and he only noticed after he was leaving.

It took another 30 minutes to sign paperwork confirming that (for example) ‘Austin’ and ‘Austyn’ are the same person, and that this was not intended to cause fraud. I can imagine someone seeing/experiencing that for the first time and thinking they found the perfect loophole.

Once again everyone misses the point. They have business because they do a bad job. And business is booming.

His firm has clearly taken on far more than it can chew, with Borgers becoming the most “prolific individual auditor of US public companies,” per the FT, with TMTG being just one of 170 companies the accountancy has signed.
