Taking away Trump’s business empire would stand alone under New York fraud law
ABC News ^

Posted on 01/29/2024 8:40:31 AM PST by Tench_Coxe

NEW YORK -- Within days, Donald Trump could potentially have his sprawling real estate business empire ordered “dissolved” for repeated misrepresentations on financial statements to lenders, adding him to a short list of scam marketers, con artists and others who have been hit with the ultimate punishment for violating New York’s powerful anti-fraud law.

An Associated Press analysis of nearly 70 years of civil cases under the law showed that such a penalty has only been imposed a dozen previous times, and Trump’s case stands apart in a significant way: It’s the only big business found that was threatened with a shutdown without a showing of obvious victims and major losses.

It’s the proverbial shot across the bow to anyone else thinking of running against the State. It’s their way of saying we decide who’s in the club and we decide who runs the country. Challenge that reality and this is what happens to you. Very few people can or will run against that. Good people can’t afford to have their lives and those of their families and friends destroyed like this.

If this stops Trump, fine, but it aimed at much more than just him.

Is there a guess as to the amount of the penalty the Judge Engoron will set? I am taking a guess that it will be close to a billion.

" For instance several years ago I was considering borrowing and I really did not need to, my credit report was in the highest bracket. Yet several banks and insurance companies turned down the opportunity. The reason: I never borrow... I pay cash.
I owed nothing other than normal household monthly bills,,,all paid on time. House, land, equipment all paid for.

The "Banksters" hate business like yours and will go out of their way to make a example of those which aren't highly leveraged.

And this as much about control as it is finance, our banking system has been at the vanguard of our current "Cultural Revolution".

If that was the case we’d never hear about them. They have stuff like this on the Clintons and Bidens. Do you see anyone going after them? Wise up son. This is all politically driven.

The case brought against him is itself the only fraud involved.

marx and engles wrote in the communist manifesto “From each according to his ability to each according to his needs. the Americanized version is “From those who can and do to those who could but won’t. why Should they when they can employ the police power of government to TAKE it from those who can and do and GIVE it to those who could but won’t” L.Star

He should still cash out of NY. There are many cities who would welcome Trump investments.

Clinton’s have been investigated. Matter of fact by Trump’s justice department. Hunter under indictment now. I don’t think I’m the person who needs to give it up.

Sometimes the truth is inconvenient. As for DU, never been there. My guess is they’d find me too conservative.

They would find Karl Marx to be “too conservative”.

It is this.

They are laying claim to the ownership of the government, and thus the society, forever. This is the end game of professional government.

A fully fascist MSNBC society.

One day, not too distant, we may be hoping that China or Russia or Iran or the cartels…anyone…take this land out of its misery.

Trump is a good and decent man. If I were a multibillionaire, I’d buy insane amounts of bitcoin, cash and gold. And right as my private jet touched down in Russia or maybe the Emirates or Vietnam where I would enjoy my last ten years of life on this mortal coil, a wave of highly paid hitmen would unleash their revenge on a list of these deserving people who had so much fun.

But that’s just me. And I’m broke. Ergo, President Trump is obviously a decent man.

*PS.. my jet -would- land in one of those places. But I would actually quietly arrive somewhere like Bariloche Argentina in a boring King Air, and then quietly live in a comfortable but modest house about 10 miles outside of town. A culture of Germans hiding from the past, and the famous Argentine beef.
