Who is sending grocery money?

😅😂🤣💙💙💙💙

So what's worse, paying Trump, or the State of New York? The best outcome would be if you keep your grocery money to buy groceries, and Trump has to sell everything he owns, including his underwear, to pay the State of New York.

I AGREE !!!

Cause it's unconstitutional and any lawyer would know it would fail to prosecute unless the entire system was politically motivated against them.

Law enforcement uses this law every day in all states. It is called "disgorgement" -- the recovery of ill-gotten gains. They use it to seize cars, houses, jewelry, etc., from drug dealers, scammers and fraudsters because they obtained benefits through illegal means. Hope that answers your question, but probably impossible for you to understand if you asked the question.

@@jamesclark6707 Keywords being "ill-gotten" and "illegal". Implied is that someone lost money. What's illegal about me saying my property is worth X and you say it's worth Y? The issue seems to be whether or not the bank made enough profit because Trump got lower interest rates. Trump made money, the bank made money, the state made money in taxes. Win-win-win. So why is the state charging Trump with fraud? IE: there must be a loser. I can't see one. Maybe we weren't paying attention, this statute has been used exactly once in the last 7o years.

It's not a penalty, just a detailed calculation of how much more money the Trump organization made because of blatantly fraudulent claims to lenders. The requirement of the statute they were found liable under is simply to put the organization back where they would have been if they *hadn't* engaged in widespread, prolonged, egregious fraud. I wouldn't be surprised to find that most AGs are vocal critics of the fraudsters and criminals they prosecute; but that doesn't make the prosecutions political decisions. If there weren't a solid basis for a guilty finding in a criminal trial, or a liability finding in a civil trial, the outcome will be reversed on appear.

that's politics....

The motives of the prosecutor are irrelevant, what matters is whether or not the investigation was proper and the law was applied fairly. Whether it is applied fairly to others who have committed the same crime is a societal issue, not a legal one; it doesn’t generally get you out of a speeding ticket to whine “but everyone else was speeding too!”

a $100 speeding ticket isn't the same as Multibillion dollar assessments all over New York by various real estate companies. Iy they're going to investigate Trump then investigations should be launched into ALL real estate firms in the state. But New York is a joke and no one is held accountable @@jgig1329

I've sat through a lot of trials in court and can tell you that nobody else gets away with the antics he pulls. One outburst gets one warning, second outburst gets you removed or fined or gagged or locked in a holding cell.

No, because nobody has ever been charged under this bogus 'law' before.

For what? paying your debts in full with no objection from the banks, after the banks had an opportunity to do their own value assessment before making the loan? In this case, who is damaged? The banks got their money. Nobody got hurt. There was no fraud because value is a matter of opinion. The Trump team gave its opinion of value. This was a Democrat AG who ran on the platform of getting Trump, a Democrat Judge who was just as biased, and a jury chosen from a bunch of Democrat voters. This was a stacked case. This is not justice. The lesson here is "don't do business in New York." New York is anti-capitalist. Let's see how far that takes New York.

_Was there a crime?_ There was no crime, because he was tried under civil law. _So who’s the victim?_ He was found liable under a law that doesn't require that there be a victim, only that profits were made based on fraud. The intent of the law is not to reimburse victims of fraud, but to discourage fraud by making it expensive to the fraudster. And the law only requires disgorgement of the amount that was gained fraudulently, so that the fraudster ends up where he would have been if the fraud hadn't been committed. This is a ridiculously lenient penalty; exactly comparable to robbing banks and only having to pay back what you stole if you get caught. _Is it standard practice to be conservative in asset value when obtaining a loan or mortgage?_ Undoubtedly so. But it isn't standard practice to get an appraisal or establish a value, and then report to the prospective lender a value several times greater. You really ought to read the actual Decision. This will dispel any notion that the Trump organization was just fudging a bit on property values, etc.

@@BigBen621 I've seen lots of property lawyers comment that the judges valuation of mar a lago property was comically low. You would think that alone could help him in his appeal in addition to Letitia James running her campaign on going after Trump. I'm not sure it is illegal to target someone and then investigate until you find a crime, but its a scary precedent. I'm not a fan of Trump, but I feel the DOJ and states are unfairly going after him and stretching laws to charge him. He now has my support and I hope I get a chance to vote for him.

That’s what I’m wondering, property value is a range.

​@@BizQAC _That’s what I’m wondering, property value is a range_ This wasn't a case of fudging the numbers; it was a case of egregious, outright, deliberate, repeated lies. In one case, he valued a property as if he could build 2,500 houses on it, but he was actually only able to build 500. In another, he valued a piece of land he was planning to develop as if homes had already been built on it, inflating the value by $140 million. In probably the most famous case, he valued his apartment as if it had 30,000 sq. ft., when it actually only had 11,000 sq. ft., which overvalued the property by $200 million(!). In another case, he valued a property as if it were running a net income of $64 million a year, when in fact it was operating at a deficit. He valued apartments that were rent-restricted as if they were not. He included in his SFCs (Statements of Financial Condition) as available cash, tens of millions of dollars in a partnership that he didn't actually have access to. And the beat goes on... All of these fraudulent statements were made in order to get bank loans he would not have received without them, or at a much lower interest rate than he would have received without the fraudulent statement; and the entire penalty was simply a calculation of how much additional profit he made as a result of these fraudulent statements. I urge you to read the actual Decision, before concluding that this was just a matter of setting the valuation at the high end of a range, or fudging a bit or even a lot on the actual value.

The “law and order” folks are tripping over themselves now to tell us about how the government shouldn’t enforce the law for their cult leader.

Exactly, he defrauded the banks and ultimately the people of New York. It’s not the responsibility of the banks, it’s the responsibility of the organization to provide accurate information. We have reporting laws for a reason. He purposely inflated his property values when applying for loans and undervalued his properties when paying taxes. This allowed him to take out more money which allowed him to make more money on false information. He would have never profited the way he did without the fraud. That’s where the $355 million fine comes from. He made money from ill gotten gains. It’s no different than someone lying about owning a million dollar home to obtain $500k loan. They take the $500k and Invest it and make or lose money. The victim is the financial institution. It’s illegal to commit fraud.

@@crazy8chief Not Hunter, he knows he's protected the longer he hides behind daddy.

Let me guess the only way to save democracy is to ban the Republican Party and all other opposition parties as they are opposed to democracy. GLORY TO THE DNC!

first get a job

well said.

One career criminal at a time. And the 90+ page decision is very well-reasoned. It should easily survive appeal.

No basis for appeal. Multiple witnesses, including those partially responsible- Michael Cohen. Tax returns, and other of documents. More than enough evidence of crimes and trump never denied committing the fraud, lol

Agreed. The charges should have been criminal.

No one else would be charged as no one else has.

@@wesleysingleton5626 What a strange comment.

Yea because your Supreme leader is untouchable right?

I remember that story but forgot the dates. His parents remind me of the parents whose toddler is throwing a tantrum in the store so they buy him a toy to help him calm down.

As Steve Wynn, who owns casinos said of Trump. Not an exact quote. Donald builds these hotels to his ego, and then has no business plan to sustain them. He screwed Jersey, Atlantic City, the Scot’s etc. he needs to be in jail for a long time.

Or when Fred found a tenant/doctor to (falsely) say that Donny's bone spurs prevented him for being drafted.

@@Lovesapuzzle biden had multiple deferments get over it.

​@@Lovesapuzzle Did you know that is how Drumph wound up here? Even well known, long time channels have the story, such as the History Channel. (No, I don't like everything on the HC.) Trumps' grandfather was running away from the draft in his country, and he came here. NOTE: What did that make him? What does the so-called right like to call them? And, he got help, just like other immigrants, but did not have to wait years and years to become a U.S. citizen.

To be fair Don is a “short fingered vulgarian” Ya know Don should have used that as his defense in the E Jean Carrol case! 😎

Spot on!

@@svgs650r Well, the jury found that it was impossible to tell whether he'd used a finger or his unit.

Put your picture out so we can judge you

@@johnconklin4452 says the fake account with no picture 🤔

What dangerous precedent is set? Trump committed fraud, now he's liable for it. This is justice served.

Are you going to vote for Biden in Nov, yes or no?

Yes, I am proudly voting for Biden.

@@DrakeSmith-tn6ij Literally destroying the country.

Voting for Biden is not destroying the country.

Of course it does. @@DrakeSmith-tn6ij

What people fail to understand is that Mar-A-Lago is not a residence, nor can it be converted into a residence. He was sold the property with the agreement that he would preserve the property. And since it's a resort or club or whatever, it has various additional expenses, which decrease the value exponentially. Plus, this is even before it gets inspected; who knows what expenses are going to be needed. Remember the guy from 2010 who's back was covered in bed bug bites from staying there just one night? And there have been many other violations too! And if you think Palm Beach is going to allow him to go back on his agreement and build gaudy McMansions on the property, you must be smoking crack!

Donald Trump is Perfect- according to Donald Trump

Not to mention, PERFECT score on his dementia test, which he recently claimed included advanced math!😅

I thought he would have used Trumped up Charges.. this is what out of control DAs do..

so why did a property next to Trump, which was 1/40th of the size, sell for $4,000,000 more than the judge said Mar-a-lago was worth? Sounds like the judge should be fined $355million.

_if this bogus ruling stands [real estate developers] will be leaving from new york_ The Horror!

😂 Trump is a small family business that doesn't even make the top 20 real estate companies in Manhattan, let alone New York, the US or the whole planet. You think powerhouse companies that make trillions in NYC are going to leave because one crime organization got shut down? Take some Copium

No, prop developers need only voice support for Biden. You're safe if you're a member of the party.

Goodbye fraudulent real estate investors!

@@jamesclark6707 And good riddance! Don't let the door hit you in the ... ; well, you know.

Better than just about any large group in the historical record. When else has everyone had access to the knowledge we have now?@@Sandals578

No we don’t.

"There was good people ... on both sides"

@@Sandals578polls would say high school but their comprehension of reality is at elementary level particularly after someone’s presidency.

Good try. Maybe you can be the judge next time, after you learn the definition of fraud.

​@@jamesclark6707 it is not a try, it is a rule. Every US citizen refinancing their house doing an overestimate and then lender send the appriser to evaluate the actual cost of the house

@@jamesclark6707 - why don´t you clarify us?

@@PauloSilva-cy7uh Lie about the value of your assets for your benefit to the state and federal government. They will clarify it for you.

@@BadLineMTByour not understanding what they are saying you can’t lie you say hey bank I think it’s worth x $ then the bank will do their own research and appraisals and either agree or disagree and give you loan not to mention they grossly undervalued his property if anything and Mara lago isn’t even in New York so many things that makes this wrong it’s unreal

Victim? Complaint? It's a court of equity, not a criminal court. The losses were proven at trial. Did you get your degree in Finance law at Trump University?

_there were no complaints, no losses, and no victims_ The Trump organization was found liable under a statute that doesn't require that there be complaints, losses, or victims-only financial gain as a result of fraud, with the amount of the gain disgorged so the guilty party does not benefit from the fraudulent activity. This intent is not to reimburse victims, of which there may not be any, but to punish and to discourage fraudulent behaviour. _So who gets the money, anyway?_ The State of New York.

Losses to who? Be specific. There was nobody on the plaintiff side with standing. The state profited from the income tax of the construction the loan paid for, and continues to profit from the building today. The bank profited from the interest on the loan they gave him. Normally you need a plaintiff in order to award damages. This is just the state declaring a fine and stealing the money.

@pondracek another graduate from Trump University. Read the specific statutes for the Court of Equity in New York before making uninformed comments

@@Ater_DracoThe court of equity enforces fraud with nobody defrauded in their statutes? Seems like bad case law, if true.

God is in control this is for a short time God is Faithful ✝️🌱🤷🏼‍♀️

So true

This is so cringy. Chump?

So is your god the god of the old Testament or the woke Jesus of the new Testament? Because it appears that teaching the sermon on the mount is too woke for Trump followers. That was one of the most basic of Christian theology. If Christ is too woke and you don't follow his teachings, you can't call yourself a Christian.

A 5 million dollar fine walked up to trump and said Sir, sir, you are such an accomplished businessman can you help turn me into 83.3 million dollars….sure said trump, here is Alina’s number, she pretends to be smart

You should have no worries if you do not commit fraud.

lol yes, because banks did not believe they were being defrauded, the fraud does not exist! Trump logic at its finest.

Read the actual Decision and get back to us...

He's ineligible anyways. Don't engage in insurrections or rebellions if you wanna hold public office! 😃

Donald, don’t whine that you can’t be on the campaign trail because you’re too busy being indicted for crimes. 💩happens.

​@@deborahmuller7559i see trump tower filled with new voters/migrants. Ironic if they end up voting for him.

She'll have her OF account soon.

I live in an authoritarian country in africa and i have never seen a government prosecute a business deal no one complained about !!! 🤔🤔🤔

Nobody said Mar-A-Lago is worth only 18 million. What was established is that it's *not* worth $405 million to $739 million, because that valuation was based on it being sold as a residential property; but the deed makes is a commercial property in perpetuity.

@@BigBen621 ... first of the property tax man said it thinks the property worth 18 million ! secondly in whatever premises or analysis the banks agreed it was worth whatever and took a risk ... What's your problem .... Thirdly ... there is no bank valuation ever equals property tax valuation because they are totally different valuations !!! Its crazy !

A flimsy defense, and one Trump loves to use in court.

​@@dennischiu272how is that a flimsy defense?

You won´t see any other developer be charged the same way even tho they all "overvalue" their property as a starting position for their bargaining with the banks. That also the reason why there is always a disclaimer on those statements telling the other side to do their due dilligence and look at the property themselves. How can it then be fraud if you tell the other side look at the numbers yourself and if you dissagree lets haggle!

I think there’s some truth to that, though I don’t know how many people have had something similar like this happened to them. But I see Trump as uniquely criminal with everything from Trump University, which he got off from with a fine that he paid a few million instead of it being a criminal offense like it should’ve been, and constant tax fraud and bank fraud. He was sued in civil court even for this, but this should’ve been criminal as well.

Just a quick note: the law does not depend upon your "fairness' determination. Legally trained judges have that job.

Hillary baited him into admitting, in front of the world he's to smart for the IRS. The new york times, got 20 years of is record force NYS to go after him, now the irs is auditing his tax he might owe them more then 100mill. Plus the other 450mill. All he had to do was keep his mouth shut.
