    The only significant thing I see is tax fraud, if they can prove it. It did take Capone down. But I’m quite sure that beyond the “everyone does it” there will be faux telling the world how clever dumpy was to break the law like that.

      Tax fraud, loan fraud, insurance fraud, maybe securities fraud?

      Madoff went to prison. Can I hope?

        As a fellow Holiday Inn fan I will say it will all depend on what they can prove but it wouldn't surprise me if they all cut deals and just got out of the company. They have better grifts these days that require almost no work. Fleecing the MAGAts is such an easy way to make millions...

        He avoided dealing with stuff like this cause he was a ****ing snitch. He was a confidential informant for years if some former DOJ types are to be believed. He was basically the Manhattan version of Whitey Bulger.

            Poor Tiffany Trump. She can't even be let in on the family fraud.

              !! Tish James says Trump tax records seized by the FBI from Mar-a-Lago may have been concealed from her investigators.
              The raid that keeps on giving!

              Also it seems Trump tried to settle and the AG told him to pound sand. Alvin Bragg is being neutered all over the place for dropping the criminal case earlier this year to the point that he felt the need to tweet it was still ongoing...

                  It's a fascinating complaint to read. It's long, stretching to over 220 pages, but has lot's of interesting details in it.

                  One thing that is interesting is the nature of the fraud complaint, at least as described in the first quarter of the complaint.

                  When people think of fraud, people tend to think of things like the Madoff example. Madoff makes false statements, provides false documents, etc..., and as part of that he lines his own pockets with other people's money, and his investors basically lose everything they invested.

                  The AG seems to be saying that is not the same case here. This is not necessarily a case where any individuals or businesses or banks were harmed. To the contrary, it appears that in an effort to dodge this complaint, most of the loans and other lenders have been paid.

                  The basic claim of the AG is this: Trump prepared false financial statements by grossly inflating the values of property, used the financial statements to get big loans, then financially benefited from those loans. The AG acknowledges that the banks were all paid back. It is the AG's position that under NY fraud law, you don't need someone harmed by the false statements. It's enough that you benefited financially from those false statements.

                  I think that's very interesting. It's almost a victimless crime, but one by which Trump clearly benefited.

                  I haven't had time to read the last three quarters of the complaint, so I'm curious to see what the rest of the allegations are, including things like the tax fraud.
                  That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                      By design. The rich write the laws and they influence every step of enforcement. They escape prosecution by hiring the best lawyers and exploiting all the hurdles in the law they put there for that very purpose.

                      This is not democracy. Feudalism never really ended, it just got a facelift.

                      Once there is no difference in outcome of legal processes for rich or poor, that will be a giant leap towards a just society. Rawls' Veil of Ignorance.

                      • Yeah Hovey, next time you go applying for a mortgage, you lie about your finances. See what happens.

                        Weren't you guys all up in arms back during the big collapse of 2008 cause a bunch of people who weren't qualified to get loans to buy houses the size they were, were gaming the system to get them, and the banks going along willingly? Weren't you guys blaming the collapse of the entire global economy on people like them?

                        Just "victimless crimes".

                        What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

                          Yep. For some reason them lying is BAD, Trump lying is GOOD. That's how the "right" brain functions on all things like this and that's why they need to be eradicated.

                          • It is technically victimless because the victims were made whole without even knowing they were being victimized.

                            But it's still fraud.

                                Wasn't it reported that Deutsche Bank quietly wrote off a loss on one of Trumps accounts because they didn't want to be tangled up in his finances a few years back? (Approximately when this was coming to light).
