The bottom line is that a never before used New York State penalty has been twisted into a tool for a grossly excessive fine and more seriously the completely inappropriate appointment of Judge Jones as an "independent monitor" who can micromanage the Trump business, which she is not competent to do, and to even order the dissolution of the Trump Business in New York State. This outcome was pursued by Letitia James, a politically ambitious Democrat, who is the Attorney General of New York State, and who hopes to win a future Democratic primary for Governor of or Senator from New York State.

Good article, but the editor must be asleep at the wheel. LOTS of misspellings.

I hope his appeal exposes the kangaroo court and political hit job for what they are.

This is all punishment for Trump allegedly committing fraud by falsely in inflating and deflating the value of his real estate assets to pay lower state taxes and to receive more favorable loans from banks.

Allegedly? If it has not been proven, how can a judge legally fine him 355 million dollars as punishment? I would expect there will be a very long appeal process coming. I would hope there will be.

This is a blatant admission of unequal treatment under the law.

Any payment he shall so received shall be free of federal revenue imposition.

There shall be a 100% federal excise tax on all punitive damage award income in excess of the lesser of:

The plaintiff(s), their legal representative(s) and the court(s) awarding such punitive damages shall be jointly and severably liable to file such federal tax returns as the Secretary of the Treasury shall require and for the tax itself.
