That's the thing. Fraud is different to defrauding.
The value he gained by his deception?
Anyways I have said my piece so I will await his appeal, with interest.
I know that your questions are genuine.
We have had our little spats but I would never question your integrity.

Not for the charge to be made out, just deception.
He got the loans, ie a gain, by deception.
As I say, I'm no expert in NY law, but the principle seems to be the same.
Similarly, over here there is an offence under the Theft Act 1968 of "obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception".
Doesn't need a "victim" either. A third party, yes. And deception.

How exactly would they go after an international bank?
Just curious cause if they go after them they would probably just close the physical branch and tell them to pound sand.

once they get Trump, they won't use something this drastic ever again. I mean sure it worked, it accomplished the goal so far, but don't worry a bit, things like this just don't happen in Amerika.

This case has effectively said there is no negotiating contracts.

They even spell it right out for us.
The power, he said, stems largely from a relatively low bar to proving fraud. In these cases, the attorney general’s office does not have to show that defendants intended to defraud anyone or that their actions resulted in any financial loss. It can make a case based solely on significant misrepresentations or deceptive practices.
That's because it's called "fraud" and not "defrauding."
It's always been the same over here. It's all about deception and thereby obtaining a pecuniary advantage
No need for a "victim".

Trump did material misstatements.
Like he claimed his triplex apartment in Trump Tower in Manhattan was 30,000 square feet when it’s actually 11,000 square feet.
It`s considered fraud .

Who is the victim and where is the money going? I will continue to say it because you have no real answer. There is not one.
