A well known New York City real estate lawyer has reportedly prompted the state of New York to investigate Judge Arthur Engoron after he claimed to have given the judge unsolicited advice.
Engoron ordered former President Donald Trump in March to pay a $454 million judgement after 30 lenders turned him away.
Trump - who frequently referred to Engoron as 'crazed' and 'corrupt' - posted $175 million in bond before a deadline to avoid asset seizure as he appeals the ruling.

No, it isn’t...I”M ON.
On May 3, 2019, Adam Bailey was suspended from practicing law for a four-month term. The suspension was imposed for undignified conduct (including telling a party suing Bailey's client that he "should commit suicide") and for threatening criminal charges to obtain an advantage in a civil matter.
Sounds like a lovely guy! Lol.
:NeverTrumpin':
The lenders turned him away (if that’s even true) not because they don’t trust Trump, but because they are afraid of the corrupt legal system coming down hard on them. This is how swamp lawfare works.
very thin.
“I actually had the ability to speak to him three weeks ago,” Bailey said, during an on-camera interview with NBC New York on Feb. 16, the day the judge’s decision was due. “I saw him in the corner [at the courthouse] and I told my client, ‘I need to go.’ And I walked over and we started talking … I wanted him to know what I think and why…I really want him to get it right.”

Bailey, who said he is no fan of Trump, was not involved in the civil case and is not connected to any of the four separate criminal cases against the former president. He said he knows the judge from having appeared before him as a litigant “hundreds of times.”
Bailey said he “explained to him” that a fraud statute at issue in the case was not intended to be used to shut down a major company, especially in a case without clear victims. He said such a ruling would hurt New York’s economy. Engoron had rejected a similar argument raised by the Trump team in court.
“He had a lot of questions, you know, about certain cases. We went over it,” Bailey said.
The point i was making is “how is this a crime?”
Someone gave him advice without his asking for it?
I suspect they will find him ‘innocent’ of a non-crime, and declare to the world how he has been ‘exonerated’ and he is so wonderful
