re: So to all the posters who were on the "Trump committed fraud to get his loans" crowd

What they are charging Trump with is not Fraud. New York has specific fraud laws and Trump didn’t commit fraud.

This is an example of an intrusive unnecessary law about inflating values. It makes no sense because a thing’s value is only that which an actual buyer is willing to pay.

In real estate offers are made above and below the seller’s price. Often drastically different. Does that make the sellers criminals. Items are auctioned at ridiculous prices compared to what I think they are worth. That some one would pay that much for Dorothy’s shoes is their business.

Murders can destroy a home’s value while a famous connection can bring value. Fixer upper homes in Waco are a prime example.

If hundreds of these cases were being prosecuted in NY, ok. These were highly successful international bankers not little old ladies. This is selected prosecution biased on a law that is wasting space in a law library.

I wonder how much longer it took to dust this one off compared to the Logan act.
