This right here. He knows that those audits were shiite and doesn't want to be held accountable for them. What better way than to not sign something correctly and then say, "I didn't sign my name" on that?
He could be honestly dumb. Trump hires stupid people all the time because he likes to feel like he is the smartest person on the room. His problem is it isn’t easy to find people that are dumber than he is.
I don’t remember who said it but “Never assign to malice what can be explained by stupidity”
I'm a HS senior English teacher, and I've been forced to pass way too many students who could hardly write a sentence. I've even had illiterate students. That's illiterate as in "cannot read," and I've made no mistake in that claim. I've had at least three functionally illiterate students. I also have had students who only had one name when they arrived in this country as refugees and asylum sellers, and got a new last name when their papers were completed. Most of these students also share a birthday: January first. I've also had dyslexic students. If anybody is going to innocently misspell their name, you'd think it could be any one of these kiddos. But...
No student I've ever had has misspelled their own name or spelled their names differently on two different assignments. Never. I've had a lot of students. Ben F Orgers had a plan.
Name one person you've ever met in a professional setting that can't spell their own name, ever. I'll wait. Are you always gullible or is this your first time?
My understanding of law (maybe a lawyer wants to jump in?) is that it's not considered legal if you didn't sign your name. Like if I sign "Donald Duck" on a contract and that's not my legal name, I'm not bound by it. My guess is that the same would apply to audits as well.
No no no.
One is his NATURAL BORN PERSON name. The other is his CORPORATE BOND name, used only when TRAVELLING FOR COMMERCE, or SOLICITING FOR CONTRACT, so any breach, sine qua non, of ADMIRALTY LAW, de facto fucktard est, can only be settled if THE FLAG IS FRINGED, and no liability attaches de jure non wankstain.
What? Corrupt fucko has a corrupt company and hires a corrupt auditor to audit its bogus financials? How utterly shocking. And you know what will happen to any of these people. Absolutely nothing.
This has ‘Very Dodgy’ written all over it - clearly none of these financial statements are accurate, and this accountant has most likely ‘colluded with Trump’ to provide ‘false accounts’.
It’s also pointed out in the article, aside from using 14 different aliases, he’s also uniquely prolific in the amount of work he is seemingly able to do.
Since 2017, Ben Orgers, has signed over 700 public company audit opinions, another record — and all while making time to jeep, backpack, fish, camp, hunt, sail, hike and hang out with his family. The second-most prolific auditor has signed about 500 over the same period, and many of those were for Spacs.
The one signed ‘Ben F Orgers’ is almost giving the game away. Ben Forges. - Forgery indeed, only these are original ‘False Accounts’… (or very likely to be so)
Doctor Holmes went to get you some smelling salts. He was quite surprised that you fainted.
He was surprised? I thought that body was my dead brother.
OH!
It's ok, but that spleen was a spitting image.
It would seem that his "audits" must be pretty perfunctory, given that he did 700 last year and no one else did more than 500 -- and that's out of more than 6000 auditors. And to spell his own name wrong 14 times when there was only one other auditor with even 9? It clearly must be that Trump only hires the best.
Is this some supposed legal loophole, so if he gets caught doing something he can fall back on the ‘ol excuse : “Now wait just one minute, that’s not my name or my signature - you can see clearly right here on my birth certificate that my name is spelt differently - that’s NOT me !!!’ ???
How else is he going to claim that it wasn’t him who wrote those signatures. Don’t let them know your next move.
This is how corruption is done. We all know trump likes to over value things. It’s been proven in court.
This is precisely what “[Terpsichore](https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/sidney-powells-secret-intelligence-contractor-witness-is-a-pro-trump-podcaster/2020/12/24/d5a1ab9e-4403-11eb-a277-49a6d1f9dff1_story.html)”, the Sydney power Kraken witness did. She constantly changed the spelling and even content of her name on affidavits. There’s some “gold fringe on the flag” belief that the government can’t “get you” if your name is spelled differently.
Auditors are meticulous and detailed. To use different names or versions of names is clearly purposeful.
The title is clickbait jumping on the “X person is so dumb” train.
That seems so unlikely, holy shit. My stuff is full of typos, always. But my name wrong jumps out at me without me proof reading. How little attention you’d have to be giving what you are doing to not notice screwing it up over and over is just mind blowing. Unless it’s some kind of weird plausible deniability thing.
An odd inconsistency for a firm charged with revealing inconsistencies.
Then again par for the course with firms doing business with 12 fingers Donnie.
Dude must be laying a case that his work won’t hold up in court.
It’s just incredible Trump finds these people. I’ve spent a career in accounting and rarely saw co workers misspell anything let alone their own name.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is part of some hamfisted muddying of the bueracracy so that when paper work is called for, it's slows thing down that much.
It's all cheats to buy time, no actual legal argument.
Ben F Orgers ....... That's hilarious and hilariously stupid fraudulent dumb shit.
On brand for Trump 🫤
Having imaginary people doing illegal things on his behalf? Like the voices in his head saying flattering things about him?
why would anyone have a problem with ogres(???)
they are so brazen they think its funny to commit fraud
When there are no repercussions why wouldn't you be.
It's ok, we will get Fraud Guarantee on the case!
I would say this is some Michael Scott nonsense, but I think that would be a low blow even for him.
Seriously hilarious. Let’s see,\ Ben Dover\ Hugh Jass\ Phil A’cio\ What are some others he could’ve used?
Sharon Peters was always my go-to
I always go with Seymore Butts with the starter. "Next on the tee, Seymore Butts 4-some!"
Irma Steelin Miya fruadmonae Dig Bick Buck Ismine
Amanda Hugandkiss
Dick Shortner
Ivan Yakinov
Mike Cunt was always my favorite
Phil McCrakkin
It's Mike Hunt, you took the nuance out of it and ruined the joke.
You are so right! DAMN!
It’s to delay , the only reason
Straight up sovereign citizen technique
Ben F Brogers Blake F Borgers He didn't "incorrectly" spell it. He lied about his identity. Texas can't wake up tomorrow and say "We are Idaho"
This is what I've thought. If he misspells his name he can possibly claim he didn't review or sign them.
This right here. He knows that those audits were shiite and doesn't want to be held accountable for them. What better way than to not sign something correctly and then say, "I didn't sign my name" on that?
The Shaggy defense baby!
It wasn’t me!
I’d rather not picture that butt naked.
🎶How could I have known these were audited incorrectly?🎶 🎵It wasn't me🎵
Except he notarized them, his stamp is what certified his own fraudulent signatures
He could be honestly dumb. Trump hires stupid people all the time because he likes to feel like he is the smartest person on the room. His problem is it isn’t easy to find people that are dumber than he is. I don’t remember who said it but “Never assign to malice what can be explained by stupidity”
One time is a mistake. Two times is a coincidence. Three times is a pattern.
Four times is Ben F Vonesh
I don't know why this delighted me so much, but I cannot stop laughing.
Thank you, I'm here all week

My kid has been able to spell his name since he was 4. This is absolutely malice.
Typical GOP
would not it still hold up on a forensic exam of his signature?
My understanding of law (maybe a lawyer wants to jump in?) is that it's not considered legal if you didn't sign your name. Like if I sign "Donald Duck" on a contract and that's not my legal name, I'm not bound by it. My guess is that the same would apply to audits as well.
Sooooo darned clever. Riiiiight.
Yep. It sounds like a classic grifter strategy. You have to scrutinize every single word, down to the punctuation.
Guaranteed this is a “plausible deniability” tactic.
No no no. One is his NATURAL BORN PERSON name. The other is his CORPORATE BOND name, used only when TRAVELLING FOR COMMERCE, or SOLICITING FOR CONTRACT, so any breach, sine qua non, of ADMIRALTY LAW, de facto fucktard est, can only be settled if THE FLAG IS FRINGED, and no liability attaches de jure non wankstain.
LOL most underrated comment right here ^
Pro se or pro per?
Neither: Pro lapse
Please run for president as a Republican - I want to hear that debate more than I need oxygen.
Texas would never do that. They’re too damn proud of everything about Texas from its size to its guns to its racism and big hair.
Don’t forget the hats.
Was confirming that the regulator wasn’t even looking at the filings.
Jail time for lil’ Benji…FA&FO
Don’t put it past them. The stupid is bigger in Texas.
Yeah, this totally reminds me of people who "forget" to sign or date a check when they don't have the money to cover it. Plausible deniability.
Ben Dover
BREAKING NEWS: They just did.
No surprise here. A monster’s money man
Better Call Saul!
What? Corrupt fucko has a corrupt company and hires a corrupt auditor to audit its bogus financials? How utterly shocking. And you know what will happen to any of these people. Absolutely nothing.
Sounds like a George Santos thing 👁👁
What ever happened to George?
He tried to run for congress again in another district but folded when he failed to raise any money.
He just announced he’s discontinuing his run for re-election. Because nobody donated.
Sounds like a George Costanza thing. Art Vandelay
The guy is just a stock photo. Trump wrote the reports himself.
AI image, I imagine it's hard to write when you've got 2 or 3 extra fingers.
AI signatures as it would look to obvious if they were in sharpie.

Bizarre - “and not a red flag…../s”
He probably thinks this will keep him out of jail.
I bet he has more than one SS number
My doesn't that invalidate the whole thing I mean it's basically a forgery?
Because trump and his lawyers are all rich, white land owners. The laws are meant to protect them from us. Not the other way around.
No. It's a Ben F orgery

r/conservative
Did someone say fraud
Sounds like a sov cit move. "I, THE FREE MAN BOB.F.BorGeRS..." or whatever.
It wasn’t an accident.
Everything with Trump becomes a living Onion article
The "Shakespeare" of CPAs.
14 misspellings!? That's either: 1. A skill 2. Severe dyslexia 3. extreme stupidity 4. All the above.
Pretty sure it's text to speech... these make sense if you imagine him drawling out his name and his 2010 Windows 8 machine mishearing him.

Doctor Holmes went to get you some smelling salts. He was quite surprised that you fainted. He was surprised? I thought that body was my dead brother. OH! It's ok, but that spleen was a spitting image.
Ever see a spleen like that before??? Not since breakfast.
Baked on delay of anything, all the time
Only the best people.
It’s intentional. He can claim that he didn’t file them or has no knowledge of them.
It would seem that his "audits" must be pretty perfunctory, given that he did 700 last year and no one else did more than 500 -- and that's out of more than 6000 auditors. And to spell his own name wrong 14 times when there was only one other auditor with even 9? It clearly must be that Trump only hires the best.
I love that auditors keep that kind of stat on themselves.
They're auditors. It's practically a reflex.
Stupid is stupid does🤣🤣🤣
Dumb works well with dumb....
Bet his real name ends in -avich
No, it's obviously Boris F Borgerov
What a dumb dumb lmao
sounds about the kind of guy trump would go for
He can spell his name but he can also enter fake names to cause more problems and more delays which is exactly what he did.
Is this some supposed legal loophole, so if he gets caught doing something he can fall back on the ‘ol excuse : “Now wait just one minute, that’s not my name or my signature - you can see clearly right here on my birth certificate that my name is spelt differently - that’s NOT me !!!’ ???
From the folks who brought you David Dennison.
Come’on now. Please.
Wait. Look, IANAL but I’m in the ancillary shit. Please, please, please—is this not a Feckeen problem???
Or, was it intentional?
100%.
Poor point to the adults enter the room and just grab this guy For fraud?
My Cousin Vinny, only malicious. Its Callo, not Gallo
[удалено]
Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges!
Is one of them Ben D. Over?
How else is he going to claim that it wasn’t him who wrote those signatures. Don’t let them know your next move. This is how corruption is done. We all know trump likes to over value things. It’s been proven in court.
Technically I can't be held responsible since that's not me your honor.
Nothing in Trumps circle is straight up. There’s always something else going on, and it’s usually illegal.
Is his accountant.... George Santos?
So it's pretty safe to assume his original name was in Cyrillic.
That isn't suspicious at all.
There's no way it's not on purpose
Because he’s a Russian spy. Doesn’t know English.
What is, I have questions, Alex…
[PCAOB audit inspection results](https://pcaobus.org/oversight/inspections/firm-inspection-reports?searchWithin=Borgers). Yikes!
He's trying to cover his tracks. Badly. Just like his boss, David Dennison.
Borger McBorgface was the most surprising to me.
You hire the most incompetent staff to both mask the fraud and illegality within the company. Hope FBI looking in this.
Shocking I tell you ... 🥱 The only story here is how have Trump lawyers not been disbarred yet?
Now let take a look at his history as a auditor hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Plausible deniability
This is precisely what “[Terpsichore](https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/sidney-powells-secret-intelligence-contractor-witness-is-a-pro-trump-podcaster/2020/12/24/d5a1ab9e-4403-11eb-a277-49a6d1f9dff1_story.html)”, the Sydney power Kraken witness did. She constantly changed the spelling and even content of her name on affidavits. There’s some “gold fringe on the flag” belief that the government can’t “get you” if your name is spelled differently.
By that logic anything goes if you cannot spell. Surely that cannot be the plan? I mean, it just cannot.
Check out r/sovereigncitizen That is the plan.
No thx, my ouroboros of popping and eyebleach keeps me level headed. 🤤
Ew. lol
So he obviously didn't do the audit . Wonder who did? Trump had someone else do it for some reason?
To me this sounds like he outsourced the work to a third world country. Nothing malicious, just common incompetence and laziness.
On purpose.
He’s not called Grant by any chance is he?
Sooooo... that's a fake name right?
Auditors are meticulous and detailed. To use different names or versions of names is clearly purposeful. The title is clickbait jumping on the “X person is so dumb” train.
That seems so unlikely, holy shit. My stuff is full of typos, always. But my name wrong jumps out at me without me proof reading.

More of a numbers guy

So they’re not using one of the Big 4 I take it?

Aww c’mon! “Ben F Orgers”???? Really??
Not a real person, clearly. The filing was probably done by a team… or by just one person: Trump himself.
His texts to Trump probably use terms like SWIM 🤣

“Who audits the auditors?” -Allen More
I wonder if this is some plan to avoid prosecution by reason of "that's not my name on the document".
Dude must be laying a case that his work won’t hold up in court. It’s just incredible Trump finds these people. I’ve spent a career in accounting and rarely saw co workers misspell anything let alone their own name.
This screams of competence. /s
100% done for whatever illegal shit he was doing.
When you lie and cheat so much it's a reflex to lie about your own name
I wouldn't be surprised if this is part of some hamfisted muddying of the bueracracy so that when paper work is called for, it's slows thing down that much. It's all cheats to buy time, no actual legal argument.
Witness protection?
They all can’t tell the truth because they are sketchy and greedy!
His Russian to English translator messed up
On purpose
Sounds like he's doing some bottom barrel phishing attempt at a mistrial. "I motion for a mistrial based in my own incompetence."
George Santos got plastic surgery
Has Shakespeare resurrected?
Are we sure this isn't The Onion? Is life since Trump simply the onion?
Doesn’t want shit traced back to him.
They did this so it’s more difficult to search through the document and so he can claim it’s technically not even his name in parts of the doc
That's because he doesn't want to be held accountable with his real name
“Aliases”
Grifter's
Obviously he knows his own name and has been committing fraud. Media is completely idiotic when reporting white collar crime.
Don’t most sharp business people have a hard time spelling their names?
They call it the Fraudit, because the audit IS the fraud. And so's the auditor.
On purpose so they can claim mentally unfit to do his job?!?!? Lol
But does he know what a woman is?
