In Major Ruling, Judge in Fraud Case Finds Trump Overvalued Property
The decision will simplify the path to victory for Attorney General Letitia James, who has accused former President Donald J. Trump of overvaluing his properties by as much as $2.2 billion.
The New York attorney general won a major victory in her civil case against Donald J. Trump on Tuesday when a New York judge determined that the former president fraudulently inflated the value of his assets to obtain favorable loans and insurance deals.
The decision by Justice Arthur F. Engoron precedes a trial that is scheduled to begin Monday, and could considerably smooth Attorney General Letitia James’s path.
Justice Engoron’s decision narrows the issues that will be heard, effectively deciding that the trial was not necessary to find that Mr. Trump was liable and that the core of Ms. James’s case was valid. It represents a major blow to Mr. Trump, whose lawyers had sought to persuade the judge to throw out many of the claims against the former president.
The judge also ordered sanctions against Mr. Trump’s lawyers for making arguments that he previously rejected. He ordered each to pay $7,500.

At this point trump can say “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, okay, and I wouldn't lose any cultist”
He could then proceed to shoot someone on live television in the middle of Fifth Avenue, get arrested and charged with murder, and the cult will predictably screech,
“POLITICAL PERSECUTION!!!!1!” at the top of their lungs.
That’s how far , deep & unrepentantly they have crawled up his anus.Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge

When you compare Trumps fraud vs. Biden fraud it is nothing, so no, Americans don’t care as the polls reflect.
Oh he overvalued his land or didn’t pay his taxes. That’s not something EVERY rich real estate investor in the country does. Better that than have our politicians get rich from back hand deals with foreign countries at the expense of American workers and people.
Liberals have no perspective. They think over half the country is a ‘cult’. Noobs.

"Lock 'em up!"
Modern liberalism is morally bankrupt and demonic.
Right wing politics is the new counter-culture.

They were getting appraisals, but then reporting the values differently on the statements provided to lenders. Lenders often relied on Trump attesting to to the accuracy of the statements instead doing their own appraisals.

I think Trump is likely equally, or maybe even less corrupt than the rest of them. That some get away with it isn't an argument to me for leniency.
I also think there is validity to your point but don't know how you avoid the reality of it. Trump's that guy who speeds around in a loud kitted out Dodge Charger with a trunk full of coke.Last edited by Seatard; 09-26-2023 at 05:45 PM.

Lets say you are going to take out insurance on your house or get a loan with your house as collateral. They ask you how much your property is worth and you say it's worth $500K wuen in reality it's only worth 300K. Judge would say that's fraud if he thinks you knew better and inflated the price. However, it's up to the institution giving the loan or the insurance policy to have it appraised, but they didn't do that.
Yet another one where Trump isn't going to jail after liberals hoped. The only one where he might serve time is the GA case and just LOL @ you if you think that a black woman named Fani Willis (Willis lol srs) can make this happen.
