​

Donald Trump’s company was found guilty of engaging in a tax fraud over more than a decade, in which executives including former chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg evaded taxes on company-paid perks including free apartments and luxury cars.
It is the first time a Trump business has been convicted of criminal conduct and comes as the former president is running for a second term. The momentous verdict also comes as he faces a raft of other legal perils, including criminal probes of his handling of classified documents and of efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election.

The jury reached its verdict Tuesday on the Trump Organization’s Trump Corp. and Trump Payroll Corp. units after a monthlong trial. During the trial, prosecutors in the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg showed that over a 13-year period, Trump executives often disguised holiday bonuses as consulting fees and that Trump even paid for the private school tuition of Weisselberg’s grandchildren.
Trump wasn’t charged.
The financial penalty at sentencing is likely to be only about $1.6 million, but the impact on the Trump Organization may be greater. For example, it could have trouble making deals in the future.

The firm faces “a host of intangibles,” said Bennett Gershman, a professor at Pace University’s law school. “The parent company, as a felon, could be barred from having contracts with government agencies, and it could make it more difficult to do business with banks,” Gershman said in an interview before the verdict. “This is a big deal.”
The verdict is the culmination of a three-year investigation of Trump and his business practices by the DA’s office and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
It was the only criminal case to stem from the investigation. But the probe isn’t over. On Monday, Bragg announced that he had hired Matthew Colangelo, a former senior Justice Department official with a record of challenging Trump and his firm, to focus on the office’s most important investigations.

Trump’s Perils​

Meanwhile James is pursuing a $250 million civil suit against the Trump Organization. She claims Trump and three of his children inflated the value of the firm’s assets and is seeking penalties including a permanent ban on the four running companies in the state.

In addition, Trump faces criminal probes of efforts he and his allies made to overturn the 2020 presidential election and of his handling of classified government documents at Mar-a-Lago, his Florida home.
Trump has called the cases and investigations baseless political vendettas. In a Truth Social post last week, as the Trump Organization trial was wrapping up, he said there was “no gain for ‘Trump’” and that “we had no knowledge of it.”

I love seeing politicians go down.
So is this going to become the norm, or is the time of American Justice already over?

Trump Organization found guilty of tax fraud scheme

The company faces up to $1.6 million in fines.

www.reuters.com

Donald Trump's real estate company was convicted on Tuesday of carrying out a 15-year-long criminal scheme to defraud tax authorities, adding to the legal woes facing the former U.S. president as he campaigns for the office again in 2024.
The Trump Organization - which operates hotels, golf courses, and other real estate around the world - faces fines over the conviction. The exact amount will be determined by the judge overseeing the trial in New York State court at a later date.
The company had pleaded not guilty. Trump himself was not charged in the case.
The judge set a sentencing date of Jan. 13.

While the fine is not expected to be material for a company of the Trump Organization's size, the conviction by a jury could complicate its ability to do business by spooking lenders and partners.

Lenders are handing out million dollar mortgages to bus drivers, so let’s go after them also.

It means his company will not be able to get financing in the future and is excluded from a host of opportunities.

Fact.
Try visiting a low income neighborhood.
These lenders should all be arrested as you and I will have to bail them out.

Does that seem right and/or just to you?

Right or just? Well..no--but Right and Just are not really the standards to which the rich are held to in this country.
AFAIK, the only reason these people were brought to trial was because Trump was associated with them..otherwise it would have been business as usual.

Do they not just declare bankruptcy and reorganize? Their friends and associates will rally around them..and they will not miss a meal or spend a day in jail.

Same as it ever was~

If you agree that the rich get away with crime in this country, what policies are you supporting that stops, stems and/or prevents it from occuring?
