Sep 27, 2023 — A judge's ruling that Donald
Trump committed fraud for years as he built his
real-estate empire tarnishes the former president's image as a a business titan and could strip him of his authority to make major decisions about the future of his marquee properties in his home state.
Trump and his company massively overvalued his assets, creating “a fantasy world” on the financial statements he gave to banks and others, Judge Arthur Engoron found in a lawsuit brought by the New York attorney general.
Trump’s Florida Mar-a-Lago club, for example, was overvalued on one financial statement by as much as 2,300%, the judge found.
The former president also lied about the size of his Trump Tower penthouse apartment, claiming it was nearly three times its actual size and worth $327 million, according to the ruling.
That discrepancy from a real estate developer describing his own longtime home “can only be considered fraud,” the judge wrote.

Trump $354M, says
frauds 'shock the conscience'. The former president was found to have defrauded lenders.
Following the adjournment of court for the day, Trump attorney Chris Kise criticized the attorney general's case on the basis of testimony from the Deutsche Bank executives who said they were
eager to do business with Trump regardless of the contents of his financial statements.
Echoing past comments, Kise described the case as a "fraud with no victims" in comments to ABC News.

Apr 16, 2025 — New York Attorney General Letitia James has been hit with shocking allegations by the
Trump administration, accusing her of
mortgage fraud.
"The documents presented by Sam Antar, and the research he has done, appear entirely authentic," Mauro said. "In which case, AG James appears to have engaged in the very sort of fraud which she alleged in her ludicrous case against Donald Trump. Let's see now, if indeed, as AG James has stated herself, nobody is above the law."
NOT even close to what Trump did.
