“...victimless crime...”

No crime is victimless, otherwise it wouldn’t be a crime. By getting caught over estimating the worth of property to secure loans, he opened himself up for a rediculous fine handed just for him. So whether it is an appearance of criminality by the perpetrator, or the procecution becomes a perpetrator, as in this case, someone was the victim. Or, they both were to each other. Neither was right in what they did. But you won’t read that in the newspaper or hear it on MSNBC.

Wow! You must have drank all the Kool Aid in your state to believe that.

First, Trumps was an estimate but the loan was not based on that estimate, the loan was based on the bank’s own evaluation of the property, so you don’t know what you are talking about.

Second, the loan was paid back. The banks would have been any “victim” in the case so were is the crime.

Third, every real estate transaction the owner will estimate high and the bank will estimate low, this is normal, so where is the crime?

If Trump was getting a loan from a private party who would be totally ignorant...it would be different.

BUT... banks have their own way of evaluating "risks" no matter what numbers the borrower submits...that's what it's all about...

Every loan was repaid with interest.

Every single person who owns real estate over values their home!

Anytime you ask more than what the county tax appraiser values it you are committing a crime by this standard.

I’m just going to assume you don’t know very much about what’s going on with this case.

RE: No crime is victimless, otherwise it wouldn’t be a crime

But it wasn’t a crime. The word “crime” should have been placed in quotes here.
It’s a FABRICATED “crime”.

“No crime is victimless, otherwise it wouldn’t be a crime”.

Well, you got that part right. No victims here- no crime either.
