"I suspect this will be overturned on Appeal"

Based on what, exactly? The standard of review for appealing a subjective award is abuse of discretion, and good luck proving that when the award came under the state's ask. Especially when the defendant is so openly unrepentant in any way.

The finding of fraud is not going away, period. A reduction of the award is theoretically possible, but pretty unlikely given the record the appeals court will have to adhere to.


What were the damages ?

The bank reps testified they made all their interest on time.
In fact they were willing to lend Trump even more money.

And bank's routinely conduct their own appraisal.
And the judges appraisal of Trumps property was ludicrous.

Was in west palm beach and boca ration just 10 days ago looking at rental property.

18 million appraisal for Trumps property is nuts. It would easily be 80-100 million or more. Prices are sky high in that area.






Based on this argument, drunks should never be stopped or arrested until the accident happens. Where is the damage?
So have you ever watched the movie Minority Report starring Tom Cruise? This futuristic science fiction thriller has the Feds arresting people BEFORE they actually commit their crimes. Combine this with the Feds' January 6th response and we have 2024.

If you can't beat 'em, arrest 'em. Normally a FAIR and FREE election would clean up this abuse but I fear those days are gone.




Blagojevich says hello.

Jail is full of people who planned a crime. In this case, Trump DID the crime (lying on loan and tax documents)

But f the consequence for the Trump organization was $1,000, where's the deterrent?

It's not uncommon in sentencing for the A-Hole to get more time than the person who shows contrition.




I cannot fathom how in the world you TDSers find this acceptable.



A. Because they want their ' team ' to win in November by any means fair or foul.

B. They can not conceive that such an obviously biased legal procedure could ever be applied to them or someone they care about.


come on, man, they're just criminalizin', prosecutin' and deterrin' bad guys, just like they do every day in blue cities that have gone full mad max with violence and property crime. it's the american way.

Would agree with you except for the fact that the loans were paid back in full. With interest. No crime. Leticia James is on record from years ago on numerous occasions saying if she is elected, she is going to "GET TRUMP".

So if you stroll into a bank for a loan and say your house is worth $750,000 and you sell it for only $500,000, you think you have committed a crime? Should you get sued in Civil court and have to pay Ken Paxton and the state a $50 million fine? What if you sell your house for $1,000,000? Should you be sued by the state for $50 million for " lying" on your application?

I cannot fathom how in the world you TDSers find this acceptable.


No. A crime is a crime. Even if you make restitution.

There are people in jail for having weed on them EVEN though there is no "victim."

Laws don't require victims before they can be enforced.

Think about all the things you do to avoid the fine. Seatbelts. Helmets. School speed limits. Pay taxes.

Seems the issue isn't the enforcement of the statue. It's the enforcement against Trump. I don't see an argument that he DIDN'T lie of the applications.

Keep your eye on the sparrow.

Not a Trump fan, but the punishment nowhere near the crime.
He got favorable lending terms based on false information. Try it and see how well the everyone does it defense holds up.

The only reason anyone looked, is he is a DICK. He made himself a target. When you live in a glasshouse using questionable practices, regardless of who else does it, it is best NOT to make yourself a target.

He acts like a mob boss. They all get along fine until they fall in love with being a star and make themselves public. Then, the magnifying glass starts... Better be clean if you want that type of attention.

This is just the beginning. Wait until he wins, this will be every week. State Courts, Congress, civil cases, etc... Nothing will get done. But that is what people seem to want.

Isn't it the diligence of the bank to check his credit or claims prior to loan approval ?
I could say my home or real estate was worth 5M but it was worth 3M. Isn't it up to me to pay back the loan amount in time ? Whatever it is ?

Restitution for what? Who was damaged and lost money? This seems like grand larceny committed by the state of New York on a huge scale to me.

Lord knows New York has been run into the ground. What happens the next time New York is $billions of dollars in debt? You should take a look at the major companies based in New York. With this precedent, they all should be very worried. Any one of them could be next if this verdict is allowed to stand.

No being a DICK is not a crime. AND, if he was smart enough he wouldn't be in court. Look at so many of the past "slimy" people that they were not able to get.

But, being a Dick and being loud, sloppy and arrogant is not a good combination to fly under the radar.

This is what I mean by he brings this stuff on himself. You keep challenging people, they will find something.

If he did nothing illegal, he wouldn't have a 300 million dollar judgement. His defense is everyone does it. Really? You can get a ticket for driving 5 miles over the speed limit.

This is common sense stuff that Narcissist don't get.

Sorry, but the review is not abuse of discretion. Rather it is sufficiency of the evidence - something that is sorely lacking in this case as there is no evidence of a victim.
Haven't followed it closely, but I'm pretty sure no victim is required. I agree with Frank Galvin that the judgment looks excessive, at least at first glance.


So say I value a $350,000 home @ $700,000 to acquire a $600,000 loan which I pay back in full on time, But, I am then fined $7,000,000 for doing this bank fraud. This seems incredibly excessive.

Seems like the Court is a bigger crook than Trump and even more corrupt.

Agreed. Why penalize someone for paying back a loan at whatever the rate agreed to. Makes no sense to have a vendetta or be that politically motivated. The judges should be disbarred

Good, fraud and criminality should not be tolerated, they should be ripped out root-and-stem. See how easy that was?

You are experiencing cognitive dissonance because you buy into the false notion that all politicians and parties are equally corrupt (a common coping mechanism on the right these days for supporting an unprecedented monster), and when reality pushes back on your delusions it causes you distress.

Speaking of precedents and politcized cases, the Clintons and Hunter Biden say hello. If you don't like your guy being prosecuted, maybe don't throw your lot in with criminals and thieves next time.
Who is the injured party?

If you speed through a school zone and don't have an accident, should you get a ticket? Who is the injured party?

However, this does sound excessive from this distance.

so school children crossing the street or motorists sharing the road with drunk drivers are now viewed the same as sophisticated global financial institutions and insurers entering transactions? we get the point you're trying to make, but it's not quite the same.

The banks have a right to refuse to loan money if they feel that there is fraud in the valuations of collateral. School children at a school crossing don't have that kind of option to avoid getting hit by a speeding car. Thus a difference in the handling of such cases.

A school zone speed limit is for the need of serious prevention.

Lending issues prevention should be handled by the parties negotiating a lending contract. If the contract is broken, then there is potential fraud case. Most prevention laws in the financial world are to prevent banks and brokerages from taking advantage of their customers.

"I suspect this will be overturned on Appeal"

Based on what, exactly? The standard of review for appealing a subjective award is abuse of discretion, and good luck proving that when the award came under the state's ask. Especially when the defendant is so openly unrepentant in any way.

The finding of fraud is not going away, period. A reduction of the award is theoretically possible, but pretty unlikely given the record the appeals court will have to adhere to.


What were the damages ?

The bank reps testified they made all their interest on time.
In fact they were willing to lend Trump even more money.

And bank's routinely conduct their own appraisal.
And the judges appraisal of Trumps property was ludicrous.

Was in west palm beach and boca ration just 10 days ago looking at rental property.

18 million appraisal for Trumps property is nuts. It would easily be 80-100 million or more. Prices are sky high in that area.






Based on this argument, drunks should never be stopped or arrested until the accident happens. Where is the damage?
So have you ever watched the movie Minority Report starring Tom Cruise? This futuristic science fiction thriller has the Feds arresting people BEFORE they actually commit their crimes. Combine this with the Feds' January 6th response and we have 2024.

If you can't beat 'em, arrest 'em. Normally a FAIR and FREE election would clean up this abuse but I fear those days are gone.




Blagojevich says hello.

Jail is full of people who planned a crime. In this case, Trump DID the crime (lying on loan and tax documents)

But f the consequence for the Trump organization was $1,000, where's the deterrent?

It's not uncommon in sentencing for the A-Hole to get more time than the person who shows contrition.


Would agree with you except for the fact that the loans were paid back in full. With interest. No crime. Leticia James is on record from years ago on numerous occasions saying if she is elected, she is going to "GET TRUMP".

So if you stroll into a bank for a loan and say your house is worth $750,000 and you sell it for only $500,000, you think you have committed a crime? Should you get sued in Civil court and have to pay Ken Paxton and the state a $50 million fine? What if you sell your house for $1,000,000? Should you be sued by the state for $50 million for " lying" on your application?

I cannot fathom how in the world you TDSers find this acceptable.


No. A crime is a crime. Even if you make restitution.

There are people in jail for having weed on them EVEN though there is no "victim."

Laws don't require victims before they can be enforced.

Think about all the things you do to avoid the fine. Seatbelts. Helmets. School speed limits. Pay taxes.

Seems the issue isn't the enforcement of the statue. It's the enforcement against Trump. I don't see an argument that he DIDN'T lie of the applications.

Keep your eye on the sparrow.


Biden continues to 'earn your vote'.


I'm applying your "don't vote for a rapist standard" to my vote in 2024.


No
You merely think another 5-20 million illegals is worth the horrific consequences in order to have someone mow your yard for under 25 bucks.


GOP believes the same. Otherwise, they'd vote for the border bill.


The border bill is intentionally ineffective.

And there are many naive people who feel they will remain insulated from the consequences of millions of illegals flooding into our country .

A vote for Biden is ones consent for continuing this unprecedented invasion.

Even Barrack Obama did a much better job of enforcing federal immigration laws.

Sure, you should get a ticket. Now, if it's common to speed through a school zone and no one ever gets a ticket except the political opponent of the guy in charge, then we have an issue.

If everyone gets a ticket, except the political opponent gets 354 million tickets, then we have a problem.

What is it that they say, show me a man, I'll find you a crime.

Fines typically are aligned with the benefit received. It's why when Tiger Woods got divorced, he paid $100M and I paid less. (Not by much. Just $100M)

Trump has been impeached twice, arrested 4 times and charged 91 times.

Now they fined him $350,000,00. They also took him off a ballot.

But no other politicians are held accountable for anything and some of you goobers think this is all normal. YOU KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE RULES ARE DIFFERENT IF YOU'RE NOT PART OF THE CLUB.

Crime? Who was the victim of this crime?


Crime doesn't require victims. They require laws.


Can't even name a hypothetical victim in this civil case?


So, you don't think we needs laws that require truth in loan applications? Every Hairy Dick Tom can provide any documentation and evaluation they want and it's not a crime unless the lender gets burned?

Might I remind you this is the guy who has filed bankruptcy six (6) times.

"I suspect this will be overturned on Appeal"

Based on what, exactly? The standard of review for appealing a subjective award is abuse of discretion, and good luck proving that when the award came under the state's ask. Especially when the defendant is so openly unrepentant in any way.

The finding of fraud is not going away, period. A reduction of the award is theoretically possible, but pretty unlikely given the record the appeals court will have to adhere to.


What were the damages ?

The bank reps testified they made all their interest on time.
In fact they were willing to lend Trump even more money.

And bank's routinely conduct their own appraisal.
And the judges appraisal of Trumps property was ludicrous.

Was in west palm beach and boca ration just 10 days ago looking at rental property.

18 million appraisal for Trumps property is nuts. It would easily be 80-100 million or more. Prices are sky high in that area.






Based on this argument, drunks should never be stopped or arrested until the accident happens. Where is the damage?
So have you ever watched the movie Minority Report starring Tom Cruise? This futuristic science fiction thriller has the Feds arresting people BEFORE they actually commit their crimes. Combine this with the Feds' January 6th response and we have 2024.

If you can't beat 'em, arrest 'em. Normally a FAIR and FREE election would clean up this abuse but I fear those days are gone.




Blagojevich says hello.

Jail is full of people who planned a crime. In this case, Trump DID the crime (lying on loan and tax documents)

yet the "victims" still entered multimillion dollar transactions with armies of lawyers, accountants and financial gurus reviewing the deals. and they said they'd do business with him again. oh the horrorrrrrr.....
