NY's Attorney General has announced where the department's investigation of the Trump organization is going.

We are all against financial fraud, right? Should financial fraud be punished regardless of who the perpetrators are? Is anyone above the law in America?



Jan 18 (Reuters) - New York Attorney General Letitia James said late on Tuesday that former U.S. President Donald J. Trump's family organization used "fraudulent or misleading" asset valuations to obtain economic benefits, including loans, insurance coverage, and tax deductions.

James also took legal action to compel Trump and his adult children Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump to appear for sworn testimony as part of her office’s civil investigation into the Trump Organization's financial dealings.

"Thus far in our investigation, we have uncovered significant evidence that suggests Donald J. Trump and the Trump Organization falsely and fraudulently valued multiple assets and misrepresented those values to financial institutions for economic benefit," James said in a statement.


She later tweeted that "Donald Trump, Trump Jr., and Ivanka Trump have all been closely involved in the transactions in question."

James' office detailed its findings in a court motion seeking to force Trump, his daughter Ivanka Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr. to comply with subpoenas seeking their testimony.

Investigators, the court papers said, had "developed significant additional evidence indicating that the Trump Organization used fraudulent or misleading asset valuations to obtain a host of economic benefits, including loans, insurance coverage, and tax deductions."

This seems to have been going on for about 7 years now....was pretty hot for awhile, not it seems they drop a story like this every couple months...I expect more as the election season approaches
 
White collar crime is barely treated like a crime in America. Investigations last for years and mostly end in a settlement for less than it cost to pursue an indictment. That's life in a plutocracy.

while I agree they do take a long time to investigate, because you are usual dealing with spreadsheets, not a video of a person walking into a store with a gun demanding money....but the penalties can be very harsh....didn't Bernie die in prison?

Moreover, I can't speak for every state, but my state, and the Federal Govt, both use something called Sentencing Guidelines to help fashion sentences for people convicted. The guidelines take into account the conviction, prior record, age, background of the defendant etc...the point is to make a sentence more uniformed across the board.
 
Jesus Christ. Move on.

The left is like a demented and obsessed ex-girlfriend.

If this is about disputes over assessments and estimates of property values, something that is highly debatable, then we are at this point:

It is not a dispute over assessments and estimates of property values, it is a claim that they used different values for different legal documents depending upon if it benefited them to have higher or lower values.

If this is the case, then it is fraud.

Many millions of dollars in benefits over the years. Supposedly.

But we know that this is fake news, rigged, the commies, the Deep State, and Trump is the innocent victim.

But normally, major fraud like this by a public figure would be fairly eye-catching.

Well if it's that one, I remember the issue was the value of the PROPERTY, vs. the value of the BUSINESS on the property.

Plus different agencies/systems have differing assessment procedures, which can result in differing valuations of said property.
