Shouldn't it be based on damages and not net worth?

There were no damages. So a certain % of 0 will still be 0. It's why they are going with these arbitrary numbers.

There were no damages. The loans were repaid in full.

Not only that, new York came out and said publishing we will not be doing this to anyone else, only Trump.

And this was a civil penalty not a criminal one. The entire situation is ridiculous.

Hence the problem.

And leftists and our resident ambulance chasers can also answer…… What actual damages?? Actual harmed party damages? Someone who has been actually defrauded. What are they?
