New York AG files civil fraud lawsuit against Trump, some of his children and his business

  1. it is not what you know it is what you can prove... every single person who accumulates real estate has done so by means of evading taxes or misstating property values... I dont doubt it. Proving it is a totally different thing and I found it convenient that after growing up with trump in the 1980s they suddenly have the evidence to convict him of tax fraud after all the political bullshit the past 6 years.

    As I said I am not counting on anything until there is an actual trial which could still be 1-2 years out.

  2. Hmm i dont read anything I said as buying into trump's narrative when I gave you an objective answer. You actually already convicted trump simply based on a filing you never really read.

    I said simply enough of the media coverage... file the suit and go to court. But if you think she has a chance to convict trump on tax fraud when he had high priced lawyers working on tax returns and financial filings for decades....Mmm okay.

  3. She brought a civil case for penalties against him.

    I could equally guess that if she had the evidence for a criminal conviction she would have done that rather than referring it to the feds. After all, convicting Trump criminally for something/anything is her stated goal in life. She would not be turning down any opportunities.

    I would think in the long run it goes nowhere, but screws Trump over the short run and possibly permanently.
    All the lenders are culpable in going along with his scams. Claiming how would they know he's lying should be enough to never do business with them again.

    well, tax agencies are notoriously underfunded and don't pick fights w/people who can afford lawyers. You can thank hbb AOC for bringing Trump's shenanigans to the forefront (because the rest refuse to do the bare minimum up on the hill).

    no, US lenders maybe bailing out, but Trump org locked Israel and Saudi banks very tight by selling out the Palestine. The valuation is different topic.

  8. If AOC were elected, or otherwise became POTUS, how would you think she would do?
