I just want an interest only loan using stated income, is that wrong?

So if we are going to talk about banking practices that damaged the public, let’s do it.

We have neither the time, nor the bandwidth.

If it was I think it would be on the bank for not doing due diligence in their loaning practice.

We’ve seen where that leads.

Can you tell me why allen weisselberg had to take a plea deal?

No one seems to want to answer that question.

I asked you to provide what you are looking at to come to the conclusions that you are questioning others of answering to.


So we can all at least be on the same page as you.

I knew the silly and non congruent arguments of people defending banks wouldn't escape you.

I’d be willing to bet they were knowingly complicit in any coloring outside the lines in these loans.

They still profited, or else they wouldn’t have made them. Whether or not all the figures were accurate isn’t as important.

NYC is for all intents and purposes the global center of commerce. Unless there's a drastic shift in that, I don't see many of the companies that bring the most money to the state pulling out.

As our lawyer friend from across the pond has mentioned, England has similar consumer protection laws to the one that was used in this case. I don't see any of the major firms pulling out of London over it. And many of those same companies have offices in New York.

Did I say he's not allowed to appeal? However, he has 30 days from the day the ruling was handed down to file his appeal and he will need to post as bond as well.

Like allen weisselberg pleading guilty to 15 separate criminal charges?

a reply to: Threadbarer

NYC will always be a business hub, but look at how many of the top companies are headquartered there by year, it’s been going down before this.

Part of that is due to silicone valley and tech companies taking the top spots, as well as companies becoming transnational…

But what advantage is there to be in NYC over Charlotte, Houston or Dallas now? We live in an age where you don’t have to be in the “epicenter”, and saving even 5% a year while employees have a better standard of living is immense.

Absolutely. Why would they leave money on the table?

Yet, they haven't enjoined the suit. Perhaps they will at some point but I'm guessing not because who will do business with a bank you sues its best customers?

They still profited, or else they wouldn’t have made them. Whether or not all the figures were accurate isn’t as important.

Sounds like the state has zero interest in such deals unless they felt they were the victim. But the story goes that this statute requires no victim.

But it does required non expressed criminality.

Still waiting for you to source this stuff......


Until then, it's just more off topic screeds.

7 convictions. 8 plea deals. Criminal.

a reply to: strongfp

Finally, thank you.


All of those stem from his apparent illegally avoiding taxes and padding his fringe benefits.

Which has nothing to do with the James case......


Now that we're on the same page, how do you see this as part of the James case?

of those convictions, which were a result of Trump's properties not being valued correctly? Or was that not what this case was about?

a reply to: JinMI

That is part of the James case.
The banking situation is just more icing on the cake to how corrupt the company was working.

a reply to: strongfp

This was all about fringe benefits. Not pay.

As a result, WEISSELBERG evaded paying taxes on a total of $1.76 million in unreported income that the Trump Corporation and Donald J. Trump paid him in the form of benefits, including paying for his rent on an apartment on Riverside Boulevard in Manhattan, utilities and garage privileges related to the apartment, multiple Mercedes Benz automobiles, private school tuition for his grandchildren, unreported cash and furnishings for his apartment and home in Florida.

A company provides these things to their employees all the time. He was convicted of the following.


Grand Larceny in the Second Degree, a class C felony, one count
Criminal Tax Fraud in the Third Degree, a class D felony, three counts
Scheme to Defraud in the First Degree; a class E felony, one count
Conspiracy in the Fourth Degree, a class E felony, one count
Criminal Tax Fraud in the Fourth Degree, a class E felony, one count
Offering a False Instrument for Filing in the First Degree, a class E felony, four counts
Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree, a class E felony, four counts

This is overboard. It really is. But it has nothing to do with Donald Trump.

Comes out to about 130k a year. About 32k in taxes each year lost.....this gets 5 months and 5 years probation?

Also, amazing that this was only found out about after they wanted someone to flip on Trump...and he did not. He agreed to testify as needed but was not. Shows again it was not needed.

Especially when the state of NY is giving millions and millions of tax payer dollars to house and take care of illegal immigrants.

That is part of the James case.

Is that why James is not listed but Bragg is repeated multiple times?

The banking situation is just more icing on the cake to how corrupt the company was working.

By your standard, the entire federal gov't should be sued to the tune of about 5 trillion dollars.


You aren't making any logical sense.
