They don’t care about any other businessmen, just Trump and his sons.
Sort of. With Trump it's personal. But going back at least as far as Elliott Spitzer NY AGs have targeted businesses seeking dramatic headlines solely to raise their own political profile. I was surprised after he rode crushing businesses to the governorship businesses still decided that NY was the best place to do business.

Maybe so, but many businessmen there will take note of the rise of vindictive and capricious lawfare. Those with substantial assets in the state may not be comfortable with the political coercion and risk factors now in play, not to mention the onerous taxes.
Wanna bet? Trump is the lead case for this thyme of lawfare.
While this is refuted over and over again throughout history in other countries, you don't even have to look into the past to see how incorrect this is.
The FBI was weaponized against nonviolent Jan 6th protesters, treating them like terrorists, locking up hundreds of them without due process and withholding exculpatory evidence from them.
Right now, it's all out war on Trump, but it's also an all out war on the lawyers representing Trump (Google "65 project" if you didn't know that), and I'm sure there are also similar efforts against Trump's financial backers. Mike Lindell is getting harassed and targeted steadily by activists with nothing better to do, and I'd be surprised if his business entities weren't already being investigated to see if they can pin something on him legally.
It is hardly a leap of faith anymore for a prominent business person to become a target for destruction through the legal system for doing something as innocent as making a politically-charged tweet.
Whatever you think of Trump, this won't end with the end of him.
Kathy Hochul’s call for 5.4M Republicans to leave New York is dangerous and disgusting
