Hey Einstein, here's a cut and paste of a post of mine from another thread. You're welcome:

Just for the record, because this appears to be the big "point" being made by the Trumpsters:
The "victim" in this case is The State of New York. That's how it works. A state can bring a case on its own when its laws are broken.
In specific, the state has created and maintained laws governing financial reporting and is alleging that those laws have been broken. You do not need a poor little victim to prosecute the case. The state can enforce its laws. This is how it is done.
I'm sure talk radio and MAGA TV and the MAGA internet aren't mentioning this -- hell, they probably don't even KNOW it -- but it's true.
