NY Attorney General says she will seize Trump's assets

a reply to: strongfp

This isn't just about Donald Trump the individual

Of course it isn't. They have no personal vendetta against Trump. They said so.

Well, take that up with the courts. His CFO muddled up the numbers to gain tax incentives and resale values of some sort meaning other people got dragged into the frey by proxy.
Screwing over banks hurts the people who use those banks too.

a reply to: strongfp

How was the public screwed or harmed in any way, shape, or form? There was literally not a single injured party.

The CFO plead guilty...... To perjury....... That nobody EVER gets charged for..... in a plea deal to avoid harsh penalties.

So you essentially backed up everyone's point that this is nothing but legal political revenge and assassination.

How can you get convicted or plead guilty without being charged? He spent time on prison.

Who cares. Don't break the law?

Last I knew the CFO pocketed money. Trump can value his property of whatever he pleases. It's irrelevant, especially when he's say, asking a bank for money.

Screwing over banks hurts the people who use those banks too.

Then why was the bank defending him if they were "screwed?"

No, you misunderstood what I said, and that's on me.

Normal people don't get charged for that.

I'm involved in a case right now in circuit court where we have the ACTUAL DOCUMENTATION AND PROOF that a party has committed perjury and the judge doesn't care in the slightest bit.

HE got charged for it though - because he was associated with Trump and the Trump Organization.

Selective charges and punishment shows obvious bias, and their obvious bias is obvious.

The CFO plead guilty, and it was basically a 15 year investigation.

This isn't just about Donald Trump the individual, it's about Trump Organization, the brand.

The law will be used again, like it was used agaisnt other corporate entities or people who seek to screw over the public for pure profits.

explain that please. How what the public damaged?

This is fine.


Do you not understand that this will never be used against another political enemy let alone anyone who is not in politics?

From your sentence construction I assume the word "never" doesn't belong there and you mean to imply that this law WILL be used against political enemies and people who are not in politics?

The law in question--New York Executive Law § 63(12)--has been on the books since 1956 and has been used against many people, most of whom are non-politicians. It was used against that other well-known narcissist Martin Shkrelli for example. The law deals with individuals who engage in repeated and persistent fraud.

Don't cook the books for a decade or more and you don't have anything to worry about.

The judge valuing a property at less than 10% of its actual value isn't "cooking the books?" They/we will come for you eventually. Can't wait to hear you cry for real.

They purposely used low evaluations to gain better interest rates. They frauded the banks.

Where did the banks defend him?

LOL, so saying stupid things, then not being mentally capable of backing them up is your thing, that's cool. Stay consistent sport.

He was the CFO of the Trump organization... and he plead guilty. What more do you want?

Honestly, what more evidence do you want that they were up to no good?

apnews.com...

The bank’s dealings with Trump are a key issue in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit, which accuses Trump, his company and some executives of hoodwinking lenders and insurers by presenting them with grossly inflated statements of his asset values.

The defendants deny any wrongdoing. They have sought to show that the bank felt delighted, not deceived, by Trump and courted his business.

“I think we expect clients-provided information to be accurate. At the same time, it’s not an industry standard that these statements be audited. They’re largely reliant on the use of estimates,” Williams said, so bankers routinely “make some adjustments.”

At times, the bank pegged Trump’s wealth at several billion dollars lower than he did, according to documents and testimony. In 2019, for example, Trump’s financial statement listed his net worth at $5.8 billion, which the bank adjusted down to $2.5 billion.

But Williams said such differences weren’t necessarily unusual or alarming.

n - no ur stupid.

The law used agaisnt the Trump organization doesn't just come out of the blue. The AG needs to be called upon to make better decisions on what charges to bring.

Factual proof.


Instead of rabid hate and irrationality would be a great start.

He plead in a plea deal. Plea deals generally offer significantly less punishment than what the individual is facing; it allows the avoidance of a lengthy trial and a notch in the belt of the prosecutors office, and also avoids the possibility of severe punishment for the defendant - even if they are innocent to an extent, sometimes you get screwed (see....... the current issue at hand as case and point)

What did he do, 100 days or something like that? Not to mention it was over personal tax discrepancies, not directly related to misdeeds by and through the organization in and of itself.

People can be or not be scumbags by themselves and not via business matters.

is this some sad pathetic attempt to claim I said you are stupid? Show me those word typed, or perhaps you can view what the T&C says about things like that.

The bank didn't defend Trump they were covering thie own ass from the sounds of the article.
