The accountant hired to audit former President Donald Trump’s media company seemed to have a lot of trouble spelling his name, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday.
Ben F Borgers, the founder and managing partner of the accounting firm BF Borgers, spelled his name 14 different ways in regulatory filings for the Trump Media and Technology Group, the Financial Times reported, citing data it had reviewed from the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
Some variations, like Ben F Brogers and Ben F orgers, appeared to be minor spelling mistakes. But others, like Blake F Borgers and Ben F Vonesh, were entirely different names.
…
These spelling snafus aren’t the first time Borgers’ work has been scrutinized.
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board said it identified multiple deficiencies in every audit it had received from Borgers’ accounting firm in the past two years, Bloomberg reported on April 8.
In November, Borgers’ firm was also removed from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ peer-review program.
BF Borgers, the organization said, was “so seriously deficient in its performance that education and remedial, corrective actions are not adequate.”

Good observation but he had this problem way before Trump

“In our professional opinion, these people are too dumb to learn.” They sound perfect for Trump.
Vonesh instead of Borgers is not a misspelling. He either botched a find and replace because he just copy pasted from someone else, or he used GPT and it hallucinated random shit.
Or a drunk autocorrect on a phone swipe keyboard - wouldn’t take too many monkeys to hit that result
Or had very dumb assistants writing it, who didn’t care to learn his actual name
Or his assistants hate him.
Only the best people.
In case there was any doubt, this is what scraping the bottom of the barrel looks like. Trump is running out of credulous buffoons with licenses and certifications.

If that’s not a blatant cry for help then idk what is. He’s obviously trying to notify someone that he’s being forced to forge documents. Either that or orangie-poo wrote them himself.
but this was an issue with them before Trump

Lol … If I was hired by Trump … I’d pass all the documents I had to fill out though AI like this guy did and collect my half a million dollar payment.
If I was hired by Trump … I’d collect my payment

and collect my payment.
You’d be the first.
So he’s qualified to become president of the united states
Or at least a representative in New York’s third congressional district
Sounds like yet another strategy to appeal and hold up the courts.
Seems like he forged his own name.

Is this where Jacques de Gauthier de Gatineau ended up?
The man who audited Trump’s social-media company misspelled his own name 14 different ways
Ben F Borgers, the founder and managing partner of the accounting firm BF Borgers, spelled his name 14 different ways in regulatory filings
Either the title or the body is wrong. If he misspelled his name in 14 different ways he would have spelled it 15 times in total.
Maybe he never spelled it correctly
You got me there :-)
No it doesn’t. He could have his name show up 100 times in the documents, 30 of which are misspelled. The 30 misspelled occurrences would show 14 unique spelling variations.
Edit: I see what you mean now. He spelled his name in 15 different ways if he misspelled it in 14 ways (unless he never spelled it right)
So, 14 misspelled variations + 1 correct spelling variation = 15 total spelling variations.
Yes, but 15 spelling variations doesn’t mean the name wad spelled 15 times in total (as the comment I replied to says), because each variation can be used multiple times.Ok, I now see the discrepancy in the article (“misspelled 14 different ways” and “spelled 14 different ways”). I was confused by the commenter’s phrasing (“spelled 15 times in total”)
But it doesn’t say that.
