100% intentional. Trump’s entire playbook for all these courtcases is to delay rulings until he can pardon himself after the election. A judge is gonna give them a week to resubmit with accurate paperwork.
That crazy seemingly drunk lady that gave false election fraud testimony to Congress - Terpsichore Maras did the same thing. She’s used lots of different spellings of her name while grifting. Makes it harder to keep track of all their bullshit.
Terpsichore Maras
Just looked into this lady and found that the newspaper where I grew up had an op-ed on her. I hope my mother saw it (she’s a Trump supporter), but I doubt it. She lives outside of the town-proper in the country. I doubt she has the paper delivered out there at this point. Oh well…
We have a no-politics rule. Thank goodness.
Seemingly? She was frickin hammered.
F. Borger? Or short, Forger?
Most likely someone who wants to be able to claim “This is not my signature” in court.
That was legit how I read the name initially 😂
It’s nothing but fraud. That is the trump business model
Maybe this is intentional.
No, hear me out. You know how sovereign citizen types get all worked up about how their LEGAL NAME (all caps, as typed on the birth certificate or whatever) and their Real Name (first letters capitalized only) refer to different entities? Maybe this dipstick thinks he is employing similar logic here.
“No, see, it wasn’t actually me because it’s spelled…”
Note that I’m not saying it actually makes sense or will work. But perhaps that is the minimal amount of thought process there?
There are other ways to wildly speculate as well if we are doing so evidence-free.
Maybe Ben was being pressured by someone to submit false information and he wanted to ensure his work was scrutinized more and falsehoods uncovered without explicitly bringing attention to the fact that this was his intention.
Does this allow him to charge Trump at 14x his regular rate?
I remember one time when my dad renewed his car’s tags they misspelled his name on one of the forms and he only noticed after he was leaving.
It took another 30 minutes to sign paperwork confirming that (for example) ‘Austin’ and ‘Austyn’ are the same person, and that this was not intended to cause fraud. I can imagine someone seeing/experiencing that for the first time and thinking they found the perfect loophole.
Once again everyone misses the point. They have business because they do a bad job. And business is booming.
His firm has clearly taken on far more than it can chew, with Borgers becoming the most “prolific individual auditor of US public companies,” per the FT, with TMTG being just one of 170 companies the accountancy has signed.
Ben F Borgers, whose accountancy firm was hired by TMTG in 2022, misspelled his name 14 different ways in filings with the US Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) — including “Ben F Brogers,” “Blake F Borgers,” “Ben F Vonesh,” and “Ben F orgers.”
“Ben F orgers.”
😆
Plot twist - it’s really Santos.
Santos L. Halper
Snowball II
Vonesh and Blake aren’t misspellings. Those are just completely different names. What the fuck is going on here?
Fraud
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Trump administration seriously damaged the PCAOB during its tenure, with senators urging the Securities Exchange Commission to replace its members.
“Ben F orgers”
Paging Dr. Fraud!
Dr. F. Raud
Looks like the Benster is a fake auditor. It’s probably Eric writing the reports.
What’s the odds of none of those 14 misspellings of “Borgers” being “Burgers”? 200/1?
That’s his brother… Ham Burders.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The head of the accounting firm in charge of keeping track of the former president’s Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), which owns the far-right social media platform Truth Social, is astonishingly bad at typing out his own name.
Worse yet, the firm already has a lengthy track record of failing to meet regulatory standards, which given the nature of Trump’s flailing attempt at a social network probably shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody.
Besides not being able to spell his own name, Borgers already has a track record of violating auditor rules, with the PCAOB finding several deficiencies in every audit by the firm it reviewed over the last two years.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Trump administration seriously damaged the PCAOB during its tenure, with senators urging the Securities Exchange Commission to replace its members.
Most recently, TMTG CEO Devin Nunes threw up his hands, accusing Wall Street of unfairly betting against the troubled Truth Social parent company.
Meanwhile, Trump is still poised to get away with well over a billion dollars, which would conclude his highly controversial stock-driven cash grab.
The original article contains 377 words, the summary contains 179 words. Saved 53%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Throw out the entire audit and demand it be redone. Problem solved.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Trump administration seriously damaged the PCAOB during its tenure, with senators urging the Securities Exchange Commission to replace its members.
So, jail?
