When things like this happen the penalties should be corporate dissolution (all assets to the government to be kept and used or sold at auction); all executives and board members go to prison for a minimum of 5 years; all executives and board members are permanently banned from owning an entity or being an executive or board member of any entity that conducts business in the US (even indirectly) or has US investors; and finally, the fines/settlements must be the true damages total multiplied by at least 10 plus interest and inflation adjustments - to be split by the victims and the government.

    Finally. I watched the documentary and couldn't believe that these practises remained unpunished. Finally justice 👍

    I would like to know why the courts allowed and appear complicit in this predatory behavior?

      I completely agree. I can proudly say that I would be happy to live in any of rental properties as I keep them up and make them as comfortable and aesthetically beautiful as I can.

    Thank you Alec for your stellar reporting. This is why government officials should come and look at the properties and conditions before they just believe corporate thieves. I hope all of the tenants get every dime back they paid in rent under these conditions plus damages. Not surprised Jared was involved. He had a great example in Trump to learn the art of taking advantage of people.

    $3.25 mil divided by thousands of tenants = a drop in the bucket for all these tenants. Even if there's only 5,000 tenants all they stand to get is $650 each. AND they have to apply for it with the chance their claim will be denied. They are touting this like it's such a big deal for the tenants but it's a pittance.

      There is no limit on the claims for late fees, lawyer fees, and rent Kushner owes his tenants. The victims have one year to file claims for rent and the bogus fees will be returned without claims as the state already knows who they are.

      The Kushners were fined $3.25 million. There is no cap on what the defendants can recoup. They'll be paying out a Lot more money thankfully.

    Those tenants had the right to constructive eviction, meaning if the property is uninhabitable they have the right to leave and relieved of duty to pay rent. Granted rules vary state by state. But if you ever live in such conditions, seek counsel and get out. You may have rights to sue as well. These people are absolutely disgusting and deplorable
