Corrupt Government Title: Wilbur Ross 'could rank among the biggest grifters in American history' A report Tuesday cited sources recalling that US Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross had been known to grab handfuls of Sweet'N Low on his way out of restaurants to save himself the trouble of having to buy his own. But that may just be the tip of the iceberg, according to the Tuesday report, a bombshell from Dan Alexander of Forbes . The report says Forbes spoke with 21 people who know Ross and found claims that he wrongly took millions of dollars for himself on multiple occasions. The publication estimated that if all the allegations were true, then Ross had bilked associates out of more than $120 million. Alexander pulled no punches in summarizing his findings, concluding: "If even half of the accusations are legitimate, the current United States secretary of commerce could rank among the biggest grifters in American history." A Commerce Department official called the allegations "petty nonsense," while a statement from Ross said "the SEC has never initiated any enforcement action against me." That's not entirely true, Forbes said, considering the US Securities and Exchange Commission fined his firm $2.3 million in 2016. Alexander's interest in Ross stemmed from the commerce secretary's apparent attempts to mislead Forbes, which the magazine says were an attempt to get himself higher on the publication's ranking of billionaires. Here's a breakdown of all the allegations outlined in the Forbes report, presented in chronological order. Adding together all of the bolded numbers, you arrive at roughly $120 million.

He sounds like a piker compared to Hillary Bullshit Felon and Rapey Billy.
