More file suit against Trump
By Staff Report
Tampa Tribune
Published: Jan 16, 2010

Ten more individuals and companies have joined a lawsuit against The Trump Organization and Donald Trump, saying they were duped into investing millions of dollars in the failed Trump Tower Tampa project. There are now 41 plaintiffs, and they say they bought in because they thought Trump was building the property.

The real developer was SimDag/Robel LLC. Trump leased his name for the project to draw buyers, according to the lawsuit, which was originally filed in November in Hillsborough County Circuit Court. Because of jurisdictional reasons, the suit has been moved to federal court in Tampa.

The 52-story tower was supposed to be built along the Hillsborough River on Ashley Drive in downtown Tampa. The developer filed for bankruptcy court protection. Trump sued SimDag in 2007 for unpaid fees and for not completing the tower. A settlement agreement was reached in that case, but Trump filed another suit against four of the company's principals in December. According to that suit, the defendants stopped making payments.
