I don’t get the fraud claim on Trumps property values.

1. A judge can’t just claim a value on a property.

2. When it comes to property taxes or bank loans it doesn’t matter what Trump says or thinks it’s worth. An appraiser or assessor will determine the property value

So how is there fraud?

The idiots on this board think Trump can borrow tens of millions of dollars and just make up values. They have zero idea how grown-up world works.

I was wondering the same thing. I haven't had a bank just take my word for any property I've ever purchased?

They're going to continue to throw as much shite as possible at Trump for the next 11 months.

Saying values are higher than what they are is fraud.

Saying square footage is 3x as big is fraud. This isnt op lying about fishes or his members size its falsifying applications for loans and credit, i.e. FRAUD.

Trump even tried to put in a "worthless clause" in his valuations stating banks/lenders should not rely on them.

At this point just chalk it up to him running for POTUS as a republican. That and they hate him. That makes as much sense as what they are charging him with.

Criminals are creating crimes to attempt to deter Trump from being president again.

It’s not going to work, and he will have to send a lot of these people to Gitmo. Hopefully this gets the left coast loons and upper east coast retards on the small nation state bus and we start dismantling this broken union into smaller, more manageable unions moving forward.

There is no fraud. This is yet another made up charge to keep him tied up, with the ultimate goal of keeping Trump from running in 2024. Period

It is all really, really simple:

On your first point, Orange Man.

On your second point, BAD.

Taken separately nothing, put them together and you get Orange Man BAD!


That means regular things like due process, actual laws, etc. do not matter. They are trying to stop a bad, bad man from becoming president again.

The same way questioning election outcomes suddenly became insurrection.

The same way presidential papers became espionage.

Remember. Trump was the toast of deep blue NYC while this alleged fraud was going down. What's changed?

I don't want to spend much time on this because the genesis of the suit is political in nature and as a result legal discussions are secondary to the real issue but I do want to clarify some things that people are getting wrong from a legal POV.

This is a point I have seen over and over again here. One has to understand that fraud (though there are some legal defenses) occurs the moment the loan documents are delivered to an agent of the lending institution. If you misrepresent your income/employment/assets on a loan application you have committed fraud (subject to defenses). If the lender finds the "errors" and still issues the loan based on the correct facts you have still committed fraud.

The fact the loans were paid back in full and on time does not matter in this case, further, it makes no difference that as a result of the former the banks did not suffer any damages, this is because it isn't the banks that are bringing the suit. This is a suit filed by the NY OAG in the name of the People of NY. In common law, this is called a Parens Patriae action. The public policy behind this is the people have a right to a fair marketplace.

The codified basis for the suit is NY's Executive Law.

Again I reiterate this is clearly politically motivated. That being said the company almost certainly committed fraud but the directly aggrieved parties appear to not be damaged and were/are free to modify their approach and dealings with the company. That being said if the OAG can show the pattern of fraud bringing a suit under the Executive Law is certainly legally sound, the issue here is the political nature and not the legalities of the suit.

Trump's attorneys are playing the front end of all these cases very hard which is clearly a strategy. The attorneys are eating fines and stoking the fires of ire in the trial judges. They know what they are doing and they know the consequences of what they are doing but they have a long-term plan that may well be sound in this particular case but would likely be poor in the vast majority of similar proceedings.



ETA I should point out that there are some issues with ignorance of falsity and reliance but I don't know NY's fraud statutes well enough to navigate them without research.

More BS to hurt Trump, his polling will probably go up another 5-10 points. No one is buying this BS except those with TDS and Dumbocrats.

The judge thinks Mar-A-Lago is worth $10M. A well known Miami realtor says he would list it for $300M.
