Of course it requires lenders to perform due diligence. From what I’ve seen, this is frivolous and predatory judicial bullying. I get the sense Trump like tangling with bullies.

Cohen is the Jim Cramer of legal analysis.

Isn’t it AMAZING HOW MANY GROWN MEN IN THE USA ARE SO ENVIOUS OF TRUMP’S SUCCESSES???

COHEN couldn’t run a lemonade stand——

IMO, this “judge” shouldn’t be in charge on anything more involved than stocking shelves at Wal-Mart.

The problem with the ruling is that no one was defrauded. Trump could sell a property to another Trump affiliated company at a profit and make the judge’s ruling irrelevant, but that might cause him to owe more taxes. A lot of these deals are structured to avoid taxes, which is completely legal unless your Donald J. Trump.

My thinking is Lacreature went after Trump’s businesses in order to get info on how he conducted the deals that made him a billionaire.

Did she pass any of her findings around to the Al Sharpton types?

Judge Arthur Engoron is clueless about business he’s a fool barking what to bark at by bigger fools.

After all these years Trump has been doing business in NYC it now pops up BS.
Trump’s been tested on the same charges before and won.

Interesting. Not sure how she would use this info. I think, at the very least, she wants to kneecap him financially for a variety of reasons.

My BIL worked for a large real estate developer. He said the company had two sets of books, one for the city or state they were schmoozing to get freebies and one for the banks and investors they wanted to secure loans from. The government one pleaded destitution and the investor one showed untold riches. It’s how real estate developers operate.

And that’s why the Judge pulled the business certificates on him and his FAMILY.

If I say my home is worthy a million dollars and it is really only worth 100K, but the bank loaned me a million anyway...

I would be wondering more about the banks/lenders/underwriting. Plus isn’t there a clause in most contracts that if the applicant didn’t disclose properly the loan is pulled/called back?

Now, I can see the fraud from the standpoint that the Banks do not have an asset on their books worth the amount claimed in the loan...so whose at fault here?

But is the Banks filing against Trump?

So why didnt James go after the banks for falsifying bank documents?

That’s a great question...the State is prosecuting on whose behalf?

They are moving all his businesses into receivership for liquidation.

I am sorry, but this is sick justice. They have not even made it to trial and one judge can arbitrarily do this?

This is sick,sick,sick. I don’t care if this is Trump or Biden...this is just wrong.
