President Trump’s former lawyer Alina Habba Mildon has been fired by Concord Partners, a secretive company with no public profile, set up by a prominent and wealthy Venezuelan family, which had previously signed Habba Mildon to a $50 million deal.
Habba Mildon had received the contract shortly before Trump pardoned the head of the family, Julio Herrera Velutini, who was facing felony bribery charges in Puerto Rico.
According to The New York Times, Trump recently erupted in anger after learning about Habba Mildon’s $50 million contract. In a letter from last week, Concord Partners said that Habba Mildon was fired due to a “failure to perform duties.” She will still keep $6.5 million that was paid to her, as well as an $8 million signing bonus.
The fact they bought a Trump pardon to avoid bribery charges is kind of funny
Blatantly corrupt, but it feels like a skit. Like, seriously, you can bribe your way out of a bribery charge now?
Trump was only mad because she got paid for that deal & he didn’t.
They both belong under a prison.
Fuck me, that signing bonus alone is enough to retire and live in excess no matter your age
You could too, with this one simple trick!

I don’t think I’d go to excess. I think I would stay in the same house, same vehicle. Just be comfortable knowing I’m safe from any economic changes. Id quit my job obviously. But I wouldn’t do anything special. Might hire someone to even out the back yard.
A lot of people say that. Very few ever do it when they have sudden wealth
Existence alone without purpose tends to lead to depression. Or worsening depression, for the unlucky.
I’ll take my chances.
Not telling you what to do, just suggesting to stay conscious of it. Watch what happens to other people who try and retire without a plan to keep busy. They melt, seen it.
The fact people go through their whole lives, retire, then have nothing they enjoy is so depressing
They never developed any hobbies, never found what they actually enjoy in life, and have few, if any, friends
I’ve seen a fair number of boomer men like this. Don’t have anything in their life except work
Employment is not purpose.
Obviously. The time to spend doing your hobbies is
Working to survive is A purpose.
It is not the sole source, I would argue it may actually be one of the simplest in the grand scheme of things. It doesnt require much introspection or self awareness to know you need food and somewhere to live.
It’s an unfortunate necessity. Once you take the need for money out the equation, you’re free to actually live and do what you love.
You’re free to, yes. That doesn’t mean you automatically know what that looks like or how to build your life around it.
“Do what you love” assumes someone already knows what gives them fulfilment. Plenty of people spend so long getting by that they’ve barely had the chance to figure that out. Give them financial security and you’ve removed a huge burden, but you haven’t automatically supplied direction.
That’s why I said employment isn’t the sole source of purpose. Having the freedom to find another one and actually finding it are two very separate things.
Dude, finding fulfillment is so easy when you don’t have to worry about survival.
I am always switching between being jealous of people who have a job they love enough to let it define them, and feeling sorry for them that they don’t have anything better to give them purpose. My job gives me no purpose so I’d happily quit. Id probably go back to uni or do something charitable, or both… If you have enough money that you never need to work again and you still don’t manage to find new purpose that’s just tragic.
I had an uncle like that. Inherited about 100 million (would be about 30 million € today) when he was a teenager and never bothered to find a purpose besides spending money. He was depressed, beat my aunt, was an alcoholic and died in his 50s of an easily preventable medical issue. No one besides close family, one friend and the gardener showed up to his funeral. He also spent almost all the money on bad investments and cars, so my cousins didn’t inherit much.
Yeah you have to have something solid, or a handful of things, to keep you motivated, or you mentally and physically wither. But i think you underestimate how difficult it is to find those things. Time x emotional connection is a really hard scale for us to perceive. When you start something new, and love it, the strength of that can feel like you’ll love it forever. Only time teaches you thats not always the case.
Why do I have to love something and make it my purpose for forever? It’s fine to find purpose in something for a while, and then changing it up. People do it all the time. One day your purpose is to be successful at work, then maybe you become a parent and all of a sudden your purpose might change.
Idk, probably you’re right and it’s hard for people, it just feels like the easiest thing in the world to me. There is so much great and interesting stuff out there to occupy yourself with, a job always seems like the saddest option to me.
I’m semi-retired in my 30s, and I agree with you 100%
I currently have a half dozen or so hobbies I rotate through to fill my time (1 is a passion business that generates a small amount of money)
Sometimes I’ll spend a few months just focusing on scuba diving, or I’ll be flying all the time. Or I get really into a game and play it for a week straight
I worked in tech, so I still do tech as a hobby, but it’s nice to be able to do it for months at a time
Nurture your hobbies. You should at least have something to look forward to other than work
PS: Also do hobbies with friends. I’m almost never doing anything alone, because it’s more fun with others
Absolutely, but when its hard to find that thing in the first place, the relationships being brief provides more points of possible failure.
The grass is ALWAYS greener, that saying feels trite but it proves itself over and over.
Hope you find a job you like a bit more bud, I wish you all the luck in the world 🙏
Don’t worry about it, I’ve made my peace with the fact that I need to also do some stuff that I’m not crazy about in life. I wish you the best too! What a lovely and respectful chat on the internet haha
For a moment there, that looked like Ivanka. I wonder what drew Trump to offer her the job?
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/10/nyregion/alina-habba-ethics-new-jersey-trump.html
Cause she stepped in and tricked one of Trump’s employees that had a sexual harassment lawsuit into settling for pennies and signing an NDA so they couldn’t do anything about it.
All of the suffering in the world and this asshole gets paid for not working.
Humans are shit.
Crime pays if your boss is also a corrupt motherfucker
This happens all the time in third world countries under a dictatorship
There are a lot of people known as Trump’s former lawyer.
i forgot alina was trumps escort after lauren loomer.
Loomer is just his devoted South Florida lot lizard.
She didn’t pay the troll toll.
