Four Casino Bankruptcies — 3,500+ Contractor Claims

Trump's Atlantic City casino operations file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy four times (1991, 1992, 2004, 2009). Over 3,500 lawsuits, liens, and judgments are filed by contractors — from dishwashers to glass companies to Trump's own lawyers — for work completed but not paid. Small-business creditors receive pennies on the dollar compared to institutional lenders.
