(Bloomberg) -- When the former Trump Organization executive Barbara Res saw that the company’s longtime finance boss had turned himself in to face state tax charges, her mind turned to Donald Trump. “I think that it’s going to destroy the Trump empire.”Louise Sunshine, who was once an executive vice president, had a similar thought. “It’s the beginning of the end of the brand,” she said. “He stayed too close to the fire and he got burned,” said the company’s former vice president for acquisitions. On Thursday, Trump’s former executives were spending more time thinking about Weisselberg, a loyal aide to the billionaire for decades.
