SAN DIEGO – Trump University gave employees detailed instructions on how to entice people to enrol in its real estate seminars, from targeting people making at least $90,000 a year and choosing words of flattery that are most persuasive to picking music for the gatherings – The O’Jays’ “For the Love of Money.”
The “playbooks” for the now-defunct business owned by Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, were unsealed Tuesday in a class-action lawsuit by customers who say they were defrauded. Last Friday, a judge who has earned Trump’s scorn sided with attorneys for The Washington Post who argued that the public had a right to know what was previously confidential.
The documents outline how employees should guide customers through “the roller coaster of emotions” once they have expressed interest.
“The motivation that they experienced can die quickly as the realities of their daily lives take over. It is our job to rekindle that motivation … to make them once again see the potential of achieving their dream,” according to a “sales playbook…

Ex-Quebec premier Charest says Trudeau sending bad signals with Bombardier delay
– canadianbusiness.com
MONTREAL – The Trudeau government is sending strange signals to foreign investors by taking so long to decide on whether to help aerospace giant Bombardier Inc., former Quebec premier Jean Charest said Tuesday.
Bombardier (TSX:BBD.B) asked for financial assistance from the federal government last December, prompting Charest to say he doesn’t understand why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet seem to be hesitating.
He said “every national government in the world” supports its aeronautical industry — “that’s the norm, not the exception.”
“Secondly, it’s a very important signal to give,” Charest told The Canadian Press.
“Because if the national government doesn’t support its industry, then outside the country, investors ask themselves, ‘what’s wrong? what’s the issue.’”
Charest, who joined law firm McCarthy Tetrault not long after leaving politics in 2012, said Bombardier would have received a response quickly if the company were based in a country like France that strongly supports its aerospace industry…

SAN FRANCISCO – The Latest on the sentencing of former California pension fund CEO (all times local):
3:15 p.m.
A federal judge has sentenced the former head of the nation’s largest public pension fund to four and 1/2 years in prison in a case in which he acknowledged accepting bribes and trying to steer investments to help an associate.
Senior U.S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer called the case against Federico Buenrostro seriously troubling before sentencing the former chief executive of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System on Tuesday.
Buenrostro pleaded guilty two years ago, acknowledging that he started taking bribes around 2005 to try to get staff members to make investment decisions that helped Alfred Villalobos, an investment manager and former board member of the pension fund.
Buenrostro says he accepted more than $200,000 from Villalobos as well as a trip around the world. He apologized to the court before he was sentenced, saying he was humiliated, embarrassed and deeply ashamed…
