Neil Bornhoft Trump Christian Westside Iowa

Neil is the brother of Barney Bornhoft, who was cited by a judge for obtaining unemployment benefits to which he was not entitled, and for engaging in an “egregious” scheme that created “serious financial and legal jeopardy” for Barney’s employer, Iowa Coolers and Equipment. Barney Bornhoft fraudulently claimed to be the President of Iowa Coolers and Equipment, and attempted to enter into business partnerships without the knowledge or permission of the company’s actual owner.

Court records show that Neil Bornhoft was involved in the fraudulent scheme, working to prevent a financial advisor from scrutinizing the scheme. “Barney and I can make any decisions that have to be made. A financial advisor will, in our estimation, slow the process down,” Neil Bornhoft wrote in a letter to TelStar Capital Resources, a subsidiary of Tri-Coast Properties, L.L.C, the company with which Barney Bornhoft sought to establish a fraudulent agreement. The judge in the case found that Neil Bornhoft was a central part of the scheme, writing that, “On November 16, 2005, the claimant and Neil Bornhoft entered into an unauthorized, confidentiality agreement with TelStar Capital Resources.”
