New York needs to die economically because of this verdict.

Selling real estate isn't a problem. Financing it with fraudulent numbers is. Especially when the lending institution has government money involved.

Fraudulent numbers? Which ones? One can value their private property asking price, whether it's for sale or for collateral. It's subjective. It's private property. It's a private property transaction.

One can't mislead on the specifics of the property.

So which are the fraudulent numbers?

You sound like someone who didn’t watch the trial very closely.

“wrecking the country just to get one guy”
I think you’ve got it backwards.
This is Obama’s “transformation of America”.
They’re going after one guy...to wreck the country.

That is also my contention.
No one needs to fear this precedent if you’re of the correct political persuasion.

In truth, for the present, it won’t get any worse, at all.
James and her cohorts got what they wanted (for now).
Just as this was the first time using the ‘novel’ approach to persecution, and predicated on the scale of DJT’s RE development biz. The next time will likely take some set of circumstances akin to this one, maybe less the more significant political components.

Ah but he did mislead. Stated his penthouse was almost 3 times its size. State Mar-a largo was a residence. It legally can’t.

Here’s the judges comments on the “everybody does it” defense. “Timely and total repayment of loans does not extinguish the harm that false statements inflict on the marketplace. Indeed, the common excuse that ‘everybody does it’ is all the more reason to strive for honesty and transparency and to be vigilant in enforcing the rules. Here, despite the false financial statements, it is undisputed that defendants have made all required payments on time; the next group of lenders to receive bogus statements might not be so lucky. New York means business in combating business fraud.”

Big whoop. It could have been a mistake. The bank did not complain. Thus there is no real civil plaintiff. How can you have a civil case without a plaintiff. The case is retarded as are the people who fall for it.

State Mar-a largo was a residence. It legally can't.

Mar-A-Largo was zoned residential. It did have a special exception to be used as a private club. Doesn't mean that it can't still be used for residential.

The entire case is political and bogus. You should be embarrassed.

If only the case was bogus. An error? Even he doesn’t call them errors. There was a time when conservatives would never support a fraud but count on him as the only chance to save the US.

Could have been a mistake? Trump bashed the ruling as “a fine of 350 million for a doing a perfect job.” No mistakes there.

You'll notice that the dog who is barking at Trump here is NOT barking over on the Kathy Hochul "a bill of attainder is what I say it is" thread, because his Leftythink would get annihilated.

Hochul tells NY businesses not to fear about Trump verdict: ‘Nothing to worry about’
TheHill ^ | 02/18/2024

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4218225/posts

Hochul joined John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM where she was asked if other New York businesspeople should be worried that if “they can do that to the former president, they can do that to anybody.”

“I think that this is really an extraordinary unusual circumstance that the law-abiding and rule-following New Yorkers who are business people have nothing to worry about because they’re very different than Donald Trump and his behavior,” Hochul responded.

translation: "This is a bill of attainder".

“When I use a word,” Governor Kathy Houchul said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less.”

“The question is,” said real conservatives, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”

“The question is,” said Kathy Hochul, “which is to be master——that's all.”

She says the law abiding businesses have nothing to fear. Is your supposition that there are no law abiding businesses in NY state so they better buckle up?

Right - a bill of attainder, as I said.

Go over to the Hochul thread and try to peddle your Democrat horseplop over there:

Or perhaps I'll link your post from here to everyone over there, if you're too much of a Lefty coward to put your money where your mouth is, joescucks.

Parts were so obvious that a trial wasn’t necessary. Summary judgement. Others were tried. In any event, his crap caught up with him. He is a fraud.
