A judge ruled Tuesday that Donald Trump committed fraud for years while building the real estate empire that catapulted him to fame and the White House.
Judge Arthur Engoron, ruling in a civil lawsuit brought by New York’s attorney general, found that the former president and his company deceived banks, insurers and others by massively overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth on paperwork used in making deals and securing financing.
It won't matter a whit to the TOFF's loyalists. If the TOFF was filed murdering and eating puppies, they'd deny that reality.
But to those of us living in the real world, it has been patently obvious for decades that he is one odious bastard.
And now a judge has so found.
Pass the popcorn, please.
Stay tuned for how the dissolution of the Trump Organization goes…all the New York business licenses were cancelled,
ReplyDeleteOK, hes a fraud... no surprise.
ReplyDeleteBegs the question what is the penalty?
Eck!
A summary judgment and all of defense lawyers get their pee pees whacked.
ReplyDeleteImus had lost his fastball the last few years he on the radio so he would let some things slip here and there. His comment on said tax returns was that trumples did give as much to charity as he said he did and wasn't worth what he said he was.
FYI - Imus had a wicked fastball at one time: https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4842056/user-clip-don-imus-1996-white-house-correspondents-association-dinner
It's the (beginning of the) end of the world as (Trump) knows it and I feel fine.

Eck, the upcoming trial will be about damages. The judge ordered cancellation of the businesses licenses of the Trump family and his associates. So they could end up losing properties.
ReplyDeleteThe TOFF is a fraudster. Those in the business world in NYC have known that for decades. His businesses have always been borderline criminal. He is a crook, his dad was a crook, his older kids are crooks.
My dad advised me that the trumps were bad business with anything
ReplyDeleteconnected with property and real estate. That was Fred as he kid
was barely 20 at the time. Hence my comment "no surprise".
That was over 5 decades ago. Dad was right.
I saw the business license revocation. The question is Oct-2
has to have a price, a large one. We shall see.
Then they have to collect it.
Eck!
I believe the receiver they appointed has the authority to liquidate properties to pay the judgement, so Fergus better be sitting on some serious jack right about now; the proposed fine is $250 million or as they said back in 2012 One Mitt Romney.
