1. So even though there is no "crime" the NY "get Trump"
This isn't a criminal case, it's a civil case.
DAs misapply the LAW to hit Trump with a $250,000,000 "fine" for putting numbers they disagree with on loan applications?
It wasn't a DA, it was the State Attorney General.
It's not that Trump put numbers on his financial documents "they disagreed with", it's that Trump lied on financial documents to the tune of 1000's of a percent in overvaluation and claiming that is 11,000 sq/ft residence in Trump Tower was actually 30,000 sq/ft (again lie about is valuation).
In Banana Republic's the elite are not subject to the law. Trump is learning this is not a Bannana Republic.
3. If its a civil case who was injured? Its mot like Sam Bankman Fried who stole $Billions from ivestors in FTX. NO ONE WAS INJURED.
Under New York State business law there does not need to be an "injured" party of the AG to bring the civil suit. However, once could extrapolate that the banks, the insurance companies were injured because of the real risk at been understood (instead of the lies presented), they would have charged higher rates to cover the risk. It Trump had failed they would have been left holding the bag with the assets not covering liabilities.
Then there is the whole tax revenue side where the over valuation means less tax revenue from the lenders and insurance companies and undervaluation resulted in lowing taxes for which the State then becomes the injured party.
4. How is it NOT like us buying a house, applying for a mortgage, and having the bank verify the property value before approving the mortgage? This is the NY world of "Uber Commies.
Because we aren't talking about taking out a mortgage for a house. We are talking business financial transactions for the uber rich. Not even close to the same. Although those that (A) can't understand the difference will claim, or (B) those that will defend Trump at all costs will use as a defense.
