O'Leary continued, "And then, in this case, even the bank that was supposedly defrauded, testified and said we didn't lose anything. We want to do business with this guy again, we'd like to, but the judge said, 'No, no, no, no, no, no, let's penalize this developer for $355 million. And if we're going to do that, let's penalize all the developers all across America. They've all done the same thing. All of them should go to jail and we should stop building buildings.' That's what the message is from New York. Even the governor herself is concerned about what this looks like to investors all around the world. It's not just U.S. domestic. All around the world, people are talking about what happened here. You really think people want to invest money in New York after this?"

Coates then attempted to support the argument that Letitia James’ suit was “about making the playing field level for those who are not the major and billionaire investors, but for those who are supposed to put business records out there, want to get a loan, the idea of making sure that they have to have the same true statements included as those who have a lot more money.” She asked O’Leary, “Is there any weight to that for you?”

O’Leary wasn’t buying her ridiculous argument. “Well, I asked you ‘Who lost money?’” he replied. Then he presented her with a hypothetical where she and he were seeking to invest in a data center and asked whether she would rather invest in a state that is pro-business and supports entrepreneurs or New York.

“Why would we go to New York? Why take the risk?” he asked. “My only point is, did we just diminish the great state of New York and the great people of New York? And shouldn’t they ask for better management so they don’t become a flyover state? Remember, New York has the highest taxes in the country, the worst regulatory environment, and it’s incredibly mismanaged. And I pointed out now, on top of that, you get this insanity, a victimless crime. “

A two tiered system of justice is no justice.

We live in a Fascist Dictatorship now.

Biden continues to violate the Supreme Court and eliminate ‘voters’ bad debt. That is unconstitutional disregard for the Republic, and the DOJ does nothing. That’s a dictatorship.

Biden has judges give ridiculous decisions against his political opponents. That’s a dictatorship.

Biden and Obama had Trump spyied on illegally by the FBI, CIA and foreign nations. That’s a dictatorship.

Biden and Obama ‘pay off’ with big contracts the same companies that ‘kick back’ to them or the DNC. That’s a Fascist Dictatorship.

Obama and Biden have turned this nation into a Fascist Dictatorship. The ‘Justice’ system is the same as it was in NAZI Germany for the Jews in the 1930’s.
