It took a year-long lawsuit and a public campaign, but workers who say they had their wages stolen by New York billionaire Jocelyne Wildenstein finally got her to fork over their hard-earned wages. The workers remodeled the billionaire’s luxury Trump World Towers apartments but in the last four weeks of their employment they were paid no wages at all. The workers recently got all wages owed. Along with interest and lawyer fees.

1. this probably goes on far more than we hear from "the liberal media" ...

and the billionaire probably thought she wouldn't lose the suit ...

2. She probably spent it all on plastic surgery. No Shit.

Jos is the infamous 'cat woman', one of the biggest wastes money and surgical talent on the planet.




Personally, those people needed danger pay to work around that. Somehow, I'm not surprised she's not a nice person either.
