Imagine being fined 355 million for exaggerating your wealth

The court is allowed to exaggerate

I don’t see it as a penalty for exaggerating his wealth.

I see it as a penalty for Trump’s very existence and paying back a loan.

These weren’t freaking home mortgages. These were commercial transactions negotiated at arms length.

The entire ruling is an abomination untethered from any legal principle

Think about a judge that arbitrarily values your Maralago property to only be $18M when vacant 2-acre lots around Maralago are going for $100M plus. Btw, there were addendum disclosures in every one of those loan applications that were signed by both parties acknowledging the assets valued were merely estimates, it is the sole responsibility of the party making the loan to conduct their own valuation prior to making said loan.

Your entire premise is wrong - he didn't exaggerate anything - he stated his opinion on the worth of his assets and the banks performed their due diligence and agreed - the useful idiots in this thread calling it fraud probably had to get a co-signer (mommy) for their single-wide.

Imagine living a life thinking you can bend and break every rule, shite on people your entire adult life, associate with sex traffickers, blame others for problems you created, and then thinking it will never come back to bite you.

What we’re witnessing in this country is something that I thought I’d only see in communist ones.

“Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime.”

Dems in blue states, in conjunction with DC, have weaponized the justice system to go after one man. They have changed statutes, bent laws, made up their own assessments of property thousands of miles away and have never seen, used activist judges who have already decided he is guilty before the first day in court, and have severely limited his ability to mount a defense. In short, they have brought the full might of the US government down on one man.

Their corruption is on display for the world to see.

The only ones cheering them on are the liberals, who have been trained like Pavlov’s dogs, to hate the mention of the name “Trump.” The ones who “Reeee” and scream anytime he is mentioned. But, they’re also the ones who can’t stop talking about him. In any thread anywhere, in any political topic, there will be at least one liberal who says “But Trump”. These poor, brainwashed souls are the only ones who don’t see the corruption of our government.

But was he truly exaggerating his wealth? In figuring out values they use the most optimal numbers to secure the most optimal outcomes for the market they are in. Using today’s data for years past cannot be looked upon as the same

Exaggerating the value of assets in order to secure a loan is fraud. I’ve seen several such cases in Louisiana. It’s really not very complicated.

Lou Pai and some others wished death on Trump. How many would wish that Biden would throw Trump in jail to die?

How many would be delighted if Trump was JFKed.?The View would have a special broadcast with balloons confetti and covfefe.

It's not tough to find out why the fine is what it is...

It's the interest he saved from the bank giving him a favorable interest rate due to his lying of financial statements PLUS the profits he received from using the loans and selling property obtained by those loans.

This will not survive appeal; the judgment is justly sound.
