If they have been pardoned then DoJ has no business going after Leticia James. You can’t defraud a bank of $30 mil and then say no one was hurt.

Leticia James is the Attorney General of the state of New York. She should face charges for her criminal acts. She should resign or face impeachment. I’m pretty sure if Pam Bondi committed bank fraud, you would be screaming for her removal and prosecution. Leticia is a crooked cop.

Did they actually defraud the bank or were they prosecuted for “defrauding the bank” like Trump was? Were they paying the loans until the government started prosecuting them or were they actually scamming the bank.

The article doesn’t say. And unfortunately I can’t trust the federal prosecutors and judge to do the right thing.

You can defraud a bank for $30 million and only have to pay restitution of $17.8 million?

You can be convicted of "defrauding a bank of 'X' number of dollars" because you, e.g., overvalued some property which you had put up as collateral for a loan. Even if you paid back the loan in full and on time. Merely because someone later claims, "Hey, you overvalued the property you had put up as collateral for that loan, you dirty cheat!"

Just ask President Trump!
