Editing Fred Trump (section)

===Tax evasion===
In the 1990s, both Fred Trump and his son Donald engaged in illegal tax schemes in order to provide Donald with financial help. While Donald claims to this day that his father provided him with almost no help financially, a special investigation by the ''New York Times'' found that Fred provided his son with over $413 million. Most of this money was provided in a way that allowed Trump not to pay any taxes on it. These included illegally selling shares worth millions of dollars, using a bookkeeper to purchase $3.5 million in casino chips (for which Fred Trump was fined $65,000) and lying about the value of his estates to reduce the amount of tax paid on them when they were inherited by Donald.<ref>[https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2018/10/3/17934360/trump-taxes-illegal-new-york-times-expose Did the Trump family’s tax practices break the law?
