    Fat Luser Trump Warns of Big Losses From Asset Sales During Property Slump

    Ex-president needs to satisfy $454 million court judgment
    Trump seeks to halt payment during appeal of NY fraud verdict

    The timing couldn’t be worse for Donald Trump as he faces the prospect of having to sell property to cover a massive verdict against him. The former president said in a court filing Wednesday he may soon need “to raise
    capital under exigent circumstances” to push ahead with an appeal New York state’s $454 million civil fraud verdict against him. A brutal market for
    many commercial property owners means he faces significant losses in his
    real estate empire if he unloads assets. The billionaire has few options.
    He must pay the full judgment by March 25 or arrange a bond for at least
    110% of the amount in order to put the fine on hold while he appeals. To
    get an appeal bond, Trump will need to hand over cash, sell properties or
    use them as collateral, tying up most if not all of his liquid assets for months or longer. Unless Trump can convince the appeals court to put the verdict on hold during his entire appeal, he could find himself in a
    financial squeeze. If he’s forced to sell, “there would be no way to
    recover any property sold following a successful appeal and no means to
    recover the resulting financial losses,” Trump attorney Alina Habba said
    in the filing. Meanwhile, New York Attorney General Letitia James has made clear that she’s prepared to seize Trump’s assets if he doesn’t pay the
    verdict or post an appeals bond on time. Brutal Market
    Making matters worse is a brutal market for many commercial real estate
    owners. Property values plunged as borrowing costs rose, and the remote
    work trend that started during the pandemic continues to cut into demand
    for office space. Prices slumped 22% in the year through January,
    according to real estate analytics firm Green Street. Habba didn’t
    immediately respond to a request for comment. Many sellers have been
    forced to accept drastically lower prices. The Aon Center, a Los Angeles
    office tower, recently sold for $147.8 million, about 45% less than its previous purchase price in 2014. A Los Angeles office building located
    near Century City and Beverly Hills sold for about 52% less than its price
    five years ago. Read More
    Trump’s $540 Million Court Loss Tests His ‘King of Debt’ Claim
    Trump Owes $112,000 for Every Day He Doesn’t Pay Fraud Fine (1)
    Trump Trial Judge Slams ‘See No Evil, Hear No Evil’ Testimony
    The Trump Organization owns or invests in multiple office towers from New
    York to San Francisco. One of its key Manhattan properties, 40 Wall St.,
    was purchased by Trump in what his business hails as “one of the great
    real estate deals of all time” back in 1995. In 2015, it was valued at
    $540 million, according to commercial mortgage-backed securities data.
    That has since fallen to $270 million, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimates. Trump’s filing with the appeals court was the first time he’s
    hinted publicly that he may not have enough liquid assets to cover the
    verdict in the fraud case, where a judge ruled Feb. 16 that the former president had misled banks for years in violation of New York law. Trump
    also owes $83.3 million to writer E. Jean Carroll, who won a defamation
    suit against him last month, making matters even worse for the
    presidential candidate. In testimony last year, Trump claimed to have more
    than $400 million in cash. While that’s a hefty sum, it wouldn’t be enough
    to cover the bonds he’d need to post with the court while appealing the back-to-back verdicts. Trump has proposed posting a smaller $100 million
    bond while he appeals the New York fraud verdict, arguing that the
    judgment against him was “more than adequately secured” without posting a
    full bond to appeal. Trump said his “vast ownership interests in New York
    real estate” was sufficient to ensure he’ll pay the fine if his appeal
    failed. After all, he argued, “trophy properties” like 40 Wall Street
    cannot be “removed from the jurisdiction in secret.” In the appeals court filing, Trump’s attorney said other properties could be used for
    collateral, including Trump Tower and Trump Park Avenue in Manhattan, his
    Seven Springs estate outside New York City, and Trump National Golf Club. ‘Insufficient’ Assets
    James balked at Trump’s offer for a smaller bond, arguing in a letter to
    the appeals court that risked leaving the state empty handed if Trump’s
    appeal failed. Trump and the other defendants in the case, including his
    two grown sons, “all but concede that Mr. Trump has insufficient liquid
    assets to satisfy the judgment,” James said in the letter. “A prevailing plaintiff is entitled to have her award secured, and defendants have never demonstrated that Mr. Trump’s liquid assets could satisfy the full amount
    of the judgment.” James has made clear that she’s prepared to seize
    Trump’s assets if he doesn’t pay the verdict or post an appeals bond on
    time, mentioning 40 Wall Street explicitly as a potential target in a
    recent interview with ABC News. Habba, Trump’s attorney, criticized those remarks in her letter to the court, accusing James of “shamelessly”
    threatening to seize Trump’s assets “if she is not paid quickly enough.” Despite Trump’s warnings about his financial condition, an appeals court
    judge in Manhattan denied his emergency request Wednesday for a temporary
    halt to enforcement of the verdict in the fraud case, at least for now.
    But the former president will get another shot at arguing for a delay that would last throughout his legal challenge to the civil fraud judgment.
    James will file a response to that request by March 11, with any response
    by Trump due March 18. A full appeals court panel could rule any time
    after that.

    A friend of mine is a commercial real estate appraiser in NYC and she tells me that the market is
    circling the drain for many reasons.
    This would be the absolute worst time for Trump to have a fire sale of his properties.
    This full frontal attack on Trump is 100% politically motivated and it should concern everyone no
    matter the party affiliation.

    appeal bond, Trump will need to hand over cash, sell properties or
    use them as collateral, tying up most if not all of his liquid assets
    for months or longer. Unless Trump can convince the appeals court to
    put the verdict on hold during his entire appeal, he could find
    himself in a financial squeeze. If he’s forced to sell, “there
    would be no way to recover any property sold following a successful
    appeal and no means to recover the resulting financial losses,”
    Trump attorney Alina Habba said in the filing. Meanwhile, New York
    Attorney General Letitia James has made clear that sheÂ’s prepared to
    seize TrumpÂ’s assets if he doesnÂ’t pay the verdict or post an
    appeals bond on time. Brutal Market Making matters worse is a brutal
    market for many commercial real estate owners. Property values
    plunged as borrowing costs rose, and the remote work trend that

    real estate analytics firm Green Street. Habba didnÂ’t immediately
    respond to a request for comment. Many sellers have been forced to
    accept drastically lower prices. The Aon Center, a Los Angeles office
    tower, recently sold for $147.8 million, about 45% less than its

    Trump’s $540 Million Court Loss Tests His ‘King of Debt’ Claim
    Trump Owes $112,000 for Every Day He DoesnÂ’t Pay Fraud Fine (1)
    Trump Trial Judge Slams ‘See No Evil, Hear No Evil’ Testimony
    The Trump Organization owns or invests in multiple office towers from
    New York to San Francisco. One of its key Manhattan properties, 40
    Wall St., was purchased by Trump in what his business hails as “one
    of the great real estate deals of all time” back in 1995. In 2015,
    it was valued at $540 million, according to commercial
    mortgage-backed securities data. That has since fallen to $270
    million, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimates. TrumpÂ’s filing
    with the appeals court was the first time heÂ’s hinted publicly that
    he may not have enough liquid assets to cover the verdict in the
    fraud case, where a judge ruled Feb. 16 that the former president had
    misled banks for years in violation of New York law. Trump also owes
    $83.3 million to writer E. Jean Carroll, who won a defamation suit
    against him last month, making matters even worse for the
    presidential candidate. In testimony last year, Trump claimed to have
    more than $400 million in cash. While thatÂ’s a hefty sum, it
    wouldnÂ’t be enough to cover the bonds heÂ’d need to post with the
    court while appealing the back-to-back verdicts. Trump has proposed
    posting a smaller $100 million bond while he appeals the New York
    fraud verdict, arguing that the judgment against him was “more than
    adequately secured” without posting a full bond to appeal. Trump
    said his “vast ownership interests in New York real estate” was
    sufficient to ensure heÂ’ll pay the fine if his appeal failed. After
    all, he argued, “trophy properties” like 40 Wall Street cannot be
    “removed from the jurisdiction in secret.” In the appeals court
    filing, TrumpÂ’s attorney said other properties could be used for
    collateral, including Trump Tower and Trump Park Avenue in Manhattan,
    his Seven Springs estate outside New York City, and Trump National
    Golf Club. ‘Insufficient’ Assets
    James balked at TrumpÂ’s offer for a smaller bond, arguing in a
    letter to the appeals court that risked leaving the state empty
    handed if TrumpÂ’s appeal failed. Trump and the other defendants in
    the case, including his two grown sons, “all but concede that Mr.
    Trump has insufficient liquid assets to satisfy the judgment,” James
    said in the letter. “A prevailing plaintiff is entitled to have her
    award secured, and defendants have never demonstrated that Mr.
    TrumpÂ’s liquid assets could satisfy the full amount of the
    judgment.” James has made clear that she’s prepared to seize
    TrumpÂ’s assets if he doesnÂ’t pay the verdict or post an appeals
    bond on time, mentioning 40 Wall Street explicitly as a potential
    target in a recent interview with ABC News. Habba, TrumpÂ’s attorney,
    criticized those remarks in her letter to the court, accusing James
    of “shamelessly” threatening to seize Trump’s assets “if she is
    not paid quickly enough.” Despite Trump’s warnings about his
    financial condition, an appeals court judge in Manhattan denied his
    emergency request Wednesday for a temporary halt to enforcement of
    the verdict in the fraud case, at least for now. But the former
    president will get another shot at arguing for a delay that would
    last throughout his legal challenge to the civil fraud judgment.
    James will file a response to that request by March 11, with any
    response by Trump due March 18. A full appeals court panel could rule
    any time after that.

    A friend of mine is a commercial real estate appraiser in NYC and she
    tells me that the market is circling the drain for many reasons.
    This would be the absolute worst time for Trump to have a fire sale of
    his properties. This full frontal attack on Trump is 100% politically
    motivated and it should concern everyone no matter the party
    affiliation.


    If tRump hadn't done the crime, he wouldn't be facing the consequences
    now.

    What crime?
    Was anyone harmed?
    Banks loved working with Trump and still do.
    Trump has been in the real estate business for decades so why all of a sudden is he being
    prosecuted?
    I think you know the answer to that one.

After all, he argued, “trophy properties” like 40 Wall Street cannot be “removed from the jurisdiction in secret.” In the appeals court filing, Trump’s attorney said other properties could be used for collateral, including Trump Tower and Trump Park Avenue in Manhattan, his Seven Springs estate outside New York City, and Trump National Golf Club. ‘Insufficient’ Assets
    James balked at Trump’s offer for a smaller bond, arguing in a letter to the appeals court that risked leaving the state empty handed if Trump’s appeal failed. Trump and the other defendants in the case, including his two grown sons, “all but concede that Mr. Trump has insufficient liquid assets to satisfy the judgment,” James said in the letter. “A prevailing plaintiff is entitled to have her award secured, and defendants have never demonstrated that Mr. Trump’s liquid assets could satisfy the full amount of the judgment.” James has made clear that she’s prepared to seize Trump’s assets if he doesn’t pay the verdict or post an appeals bond on time, mentioning 40 Wall Street explicitly as a potential target in a recent interview with ABC News. Habba, Trump’s attorney, criticized those remarks in her letter to the court, accusing James of “shamelessly” threatening to seize Trump’s assets “if she is not paid quickly enough.” Despite Trump’s warnings about his financial condition, an appeals court judge in Manhattan denied his emergency request Wednesday for a temporary halt to enforcement of the verdict in the fraud case, at least for now.
    But the former president will get another shot at arguing for a delay that would last throughout his legal challenge to the civil fraud judgment. James will file a response to that request by March 11, with any response by Trump due March 18. A full appeals court panel could rule any time
    after that.

    A friend of mine is a commercial real estate appraiser in NYC and she tells me that the market is
    circling the drain for many reasons.

    Real Estate markets go up and down, and most people
    who are selling so they can buy are mostly moving
    horizontally, so it's the speculators who tend to
    incur the most risk during downward trends.

    This would be the absolute worst time for Trump to have a fire sale of his properties.

    He keeps claiming to be a genius, but apparently he
    failed to protect his real estate assets like most
    super-wealthy people seem to know how to do (or to
    hire the right tax accountants to help them do it).

    Why didn't he protect his real estate assets like
    most super-wealthy people seem to do? Did his ego
    get in the way, or was he just lazy or cheap?

    At any rate, it really should have waited a while
    before committing his crimes, and timed is so that
    the $454,000,000 court judgement would have occured
    during better real estate market conditions. (Why
    didn't he plan the commissions of his crimes to
    match the better real estate markets? For the same
    reason the courts don't time their cases for better
    real estate markets -- they process cases as soon
    as court resource availability make it possible.)

    This full frontal attack on Trump is 100% politically motivated and it should concern everyone no
    matter the party affiliation.

    Oh, is that what's going on? Are you implying that
    the courts, many of which are stacked with Judges
    appointed by the Pence-Trump regime, are corrupt?
    But I thought they were all affiliated with the
    Republicans, so how can they possibly be corrupt?

    Fat Luser Trump Warns of Big Losses From Asset Sales During Property
    Slump

    Ex-president needs to satisfy $454 million court judgment
    Trump seeks to halt payment during appeal of NY fraud verdict

    The timing couldnÂ’t be worse for Donald Trump as he faces the
    prospect of having to sell property to cover a massive verdict
    against him. The former president said in a court filing Wednesday he
    may soon need “to raise capital under exigent circumstances” to
    push ahead with an appeal New York stateÂ’s $454 million civil fraud
    verdict against him. A brutal market for many commercial property
    owners means he faces significant losses in his real estate empire if
    he unloads assets. The billionaire has few options. He must pay the
    full judgment by March 25 or arrange a bond for at least 110% of the
    amount in order to put the fine on hold while he appeals. To get an
    appeal bond, Trump will need to hand over cash, sell properties or
    use them as collateral, tying up most if not all of his liquid assets
    for months or longer. Unless Trump can convince the appeals court to
    put the verdict on hold during his entire appeal, he could find
    himself in a financial squeeze. If he’s forced to sell, “there
    would be no way to recover any property sold following a successful
    appeal and no means to recover the resulting financial losses,”
    Trump attorney Alina Habba said in the filing. Meanwhile, New York
    Attorney General Letitia James has made clear that sheÂ’s prepared to
    seize TrumpÂ’s assets if he doesnÂ’t pay the verdict or post an
    appeals bond on time. Brutal Market Making matters worse is a brutal
    market for many commercial real estate owners. Property values
    plunged as borrowing costs rose, and the remote work trend that
    started during the pandemic continues to cut into demand for office
    space. Prices slumped 22% in the year through January, according to
    real estate analytics firm Green Street. Habba didnÂ’t immediately
    respond to a request for comment. Many sellers have been forced to
    accept drastically lower prices. The Aon Center, a Los Angeles office
    tower, recently sold for $147.8 million, about 45% less than its
    previous purchase price in 2014. A Los Angeles office building
    located near Century City and Beverly Hills sold for about 52% less

    Trump’s $540 Million Court Loss Tests His ‘King of Debt’ Claim
    Trump Owes $112,000 for Every Day He DoesnÂ’t Pay Fraud Fine (1)
    Trump Trial Judge Slams ‘See No Evil, Hear No Evil’ Testimony
    The Trump Organization owns or invests in multiple office towers from
    New York to San Francisco. One of its key Manhattan properties, 40
    Wall St., was purchased by Trump in what his business hails as “one
    of the great real estate deals of all time” back in 1995. In 2015,
    it was valued at $540 million, according to commercial
    mortgage-backed securities data. That has since fallen to $270
    million, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimates. TrumpÂ’s filing
    with the appeals court was the first time heÂ’s hinted publicly that
    he may not have enough liquid assets to cover the verdict in the
    fraud case, where a judge ruled Feb. 16 that the former president had
    misled banks for years in violation of New York law. Trump also owes
    $83.3 million to writer E. Jean Carroll, who won a defamation suit
    against him last month, making matters even worse for the
    presidential candidate. In testimony last year, Trump claimed to have
    more than $400 million in cash. While thatÂ’s a hefty sum, it
    wouldnÂ’t be enough to cover the bonds heÂ’d need to post with the
    court while appealing the back-to-back verdicts. Trump has proposed
    posting a smaller $100 million bond while he appeals the New York
    fraud verdict, arguing that the judgment against him was “more than
    adequately secured” without posting a full bond to appeal. Trump
    said his “vast ownership interests in New York real estate” was
    sufficient to ensure heÂ’ll pay the fine if his appeal failed. After
    all, he argued, “trophy properties” like 40 Wall Street cannot be
    “removed from the jurisdiction in secret.” In the appeals court
    filing, TrumpÂ’s attorney said other properties could be used for
    collateral, including Trump Tower and Trump Park Avenue in Manhattan,
    his Seven Springs estate outside New York City, and Trump National

    letter to the appeals court that risked leaving the state empty
    handed if TrumpÂ’s appeal failed. Trump and the other defendants in
    the case, including his two grown sons, “all but concede that Mr.
    Trump has insufficient liquid assets to satisfy the judgment,” James
    said in the letter. “A prevailing plaintiff is entitled to have her
    award secured, and defendants have never demonstrated that Mr.
    TrumpÂ’s liquid assets could satisfy the full amount of the
    judgment.” James has made clear that she’s prepared to seize

    If tRump hadn't done the crime, he wouldn't be facing the consequences
    now.

    Sometimes, if there's a criminal prosecution of someone, the defendant is acquitted. That usually happens for one of two reasons:

    1. A crime was committed, but it cannot be proved beyond a reasonable doubt
    that the defendant is the one who committed it.

    2. The defendant did the deed, but the deed does not constitute the crime
    with which the defendant is charged (or perhaps the deed is not a
    crime at all).

    Neither of these is possible with Trump. For example, regarding the basic misdemeanor crime in Trump's hush money case — willful misclassification of business records — there is no doubt that is a misdemeanor crime, and there is
    no doubt that Trump did it: Trump instructed Weisselberg to enter the reimbursement paid to Cohen as "legal retainer" fees paid, when they were no such thing and Trump knew it.

    The same holds true regarding Trump's criminal call to Georgia secretary of state Raffensperger: it is not in dispute that Trump made the call, and it is not in dispute that the call was criminal (soliciting election fraud). And so on
    and so on with slates of fake electors, stealing government documents and obstructing their recover, etc.

    So yeah, it's possible that prosecutors can charge the wrong person with a crime, or can charge the right person with something that isn't the crime he committed or possibly isn't a crime at all, but neither of those applies to Trump. Trump is a felon who needs to be put in prison for life.

    A friend of mine is a commercial real estate appraiser in NYC and she tells me that the market is
    circling the drain for many reasons.

    Real Estate markets go up and down, and most people
    who are selling so they can buy are mostly moving
    horizontally, so it's the speculators who tend to
    incur the most risk during downward trends.

    This is true.
    In the private real estate market ie:people buying homes to live in, people who already own a home
    are not selling because they are most likely paying a very low interest rate and don't wish to move
    to a much higher rate.


    This would be the absolute worst time for Trump to have a fire sale of his properties.

    He keeps claiming to be a genius, but apparently he
    failed to protect his real estate assets like most
    super-wealthy people seem to know how to do (or to
    hire the right tax accountants to help them do it).

    Actually that is a very good point.
    Any decent accountant knows the various methods for protecting investments like real estate.
    Personally I don't find Trump to be very smart and certainly not a genius. He seems to have very
    good instinct capabilities though and is a risk taker.

    Why didn't he protect his real estate assets like
    most super-wealthy people seem to do? Did his ego
    get in the way, or was he just lazy or cheap?

    I suspect he had bad advisors like Cohen and others. Trump isn't exactly good at choosing support
    staff.
    Still even I know the basics regarding trusts, especially a land trust, I'm not sure if assets can
    be attached if in a trust, but evidently Trump did nothing to protect himself.



    At any rate, it really should have waited a while
    before committing his crimes, and timed is so that
    the $454,000,000 court judgement would have occured
    during better real estate market conditions. (Why
    didn't he plan the commissions of his crimes to
    match the better real estate markets? For the same
    reason the courts don't time their cases for better
    real estate markets -- they process cases as soon
    as court resource availability make it possible.)

    Supposedly these 'crimes' have been committed by Trump for years, if not decades. Also until the
    pandemic, and even during, real estate in NYC was priced sky high. In some areas like Brooklyn,
    Queens etc private housing still is extremely overpriced. Attached 2 family row houses are going
    for $! million and up. It's insane.



    This full frontal attack on Trump is 100% politically motivated and it should concern everyone no
    matter the party affiliation.

    Oh, is that what's going on? Are you implying that
    the courts, many of which are stacked with Judges
    appointed by the Pence-Trump regime, are corrupt?
    But I thought they were all affiliated with the
    Republicans, so how can they possibly be corrupt?

    Some are and some aren't.
    All that matters is the ones Trump is being prosecuted under.
    Don't you find it unusual that all of a sudden the attacks on Trump began as he entered politics?
    I don't.
    In fact Letticia James in NYC, actually campaigned on getting Trump.
    And just because a judge is a Trump appointee doesn't mean they will be partisan to Trump.

    Cross the Biden's and you will be attacked by the DOJ, FBI and so forth.
    Look at NYC mayor Adams. A democrat BTW.
    He slammed Biden for his border policy and bingo his campaign workers are having their homes raided
    by the FBI.
    Why did Fanni and her lover meet with the Biden administration prior to the start of that trial in
    in Georgia?

    It's banana republic time for the USA.

    Not of "character," because Trump has none. He's a poor judge of who will be a blindly loyal toady who will do whatever he tells them to do and to hell with the legality of it.

    Everyone he fired during his failure of an administration was someone who was trying to obey the law and the Constitution, rather than do the illegal things Trump wanted them to do.

    Why do you want to see America get into so much trouble? Are you hoping for a 21st

    Biden is working toward it. These wars wouldn't be happening if Trump

    Oh, is that what's going on? Are you implying that
    the courts, many of which are stacked with Judges
    appointed by the Pence-Trump regime, are corrupt?
    But I thought they were all affiliated with the
    Republicans, so how can they possibly be corrupt?

    The problem is, in our American tradition, we promote based on competency. This is so
    deeply ingrained into American business and government that even when one *tries* to

    Have you ever heard the saying "incompetency rises to the top" ?

    I've stated many times that Trump is a poor judge of character.

    Not of "character," because Trump has none. He's a poor judge of who will be a
    blindly loyal toady who will do whatever he tells them to do and to hell with the legality of it.

    Everyone he fired during his failure of an administration was someone who was trying to obey the law and the Constitution, rather than do the illegal things
    Trump wanted them to do.

    LIke what?

    Biden is working toward it. These wars wouldn't be happening if Trump

    Fat Luser Trump Warns of Big Losses From Asset Sales During Property
    Slump

    Ex-president needs to satisfy $454 million court judgment
    Trump seeks to halt payment during appeal of NY fraud verdict

    The timing couldnÂ't be worse for Donald Trump as he faces the
    prospect of having to sell property to cover a massive verdict
    against him. The former president said in a court filing Wednesday he
    may soon need Â"to raise capital under exigent circumstancesÂ" to
    push ahead with an appeal New York stateÂ's $454 million civil fraud
    verdict against him. A brutal market for many commercial property
    owners means he faces significant losses in his real estate empire if
    he unloads assets. The billionaire has few options. He must pay the
    full judgment by March 25 or arrange a bond for at least 110% of the
    amount in order to put the fine on hold while he appeals. To get an
    appeal bond, Trump will need to hand over cash, sell properties or
    use them as collateral, tying up most if not all of his liquid assets
    for months or longer. Unless Trump can convince the appeals court to
    put the verdict on hold during his entire appeal, he could find
    himself in a financial squeeze. If heÂ's forced to sell, Â"there
    would be no way to recover any property sold following a successful
    appeal and no means to recover the resulting financial losses,Â"
    Trump attorney Alina Habba said in the filing. Meanwhile, New York
    Attorney General Letitia James has made clear that sheÂ's prepared to
    seize TrumpÂ's assets if he doesnÂ't pay the verdict or post an
    appeals bond on time. Brutal Market Making matters worse is a brutal
    market for many commercial real estate owners. Property values
    plunged as borrowing costs rose, and the remote work trend that
    started during the pandemic continues to cut into demand for office
    space. Prices slumped 22% in the year through January, according to
    real estate analytics firm Green Street. Habba didnÂ't immediately
    respond to a request for comment. Many sellers have been forced to
    accept drastically lower prices. The Aon Center, a Los Angeles office
    tower, recently sold for $147.8 million, about 45% less than its
    previous purchase price in 2014. A Los Angeles office building
    located near Century City and Beverly Hills sold for about 52% less
    than its price five years ago. Read More
    TrumpÂ's $540 Million Court Loss Tests His Â'King of DebtÂ' Claim
    Trump Owes $112,000 for Every Day He DoesnÂ't Pay Fraud Fine (1)
    Trump Trial Judge Slams Â'See No Evil, Hear No EvilÂ' Testimony
    The Trump Organization owns or invests in multiple office towers from
    New York to San Francisco. One of its key Manhattan properties, 40
    Wall St., was purchased by Trump in what his business hails as Â"one
    of the great real estate deals of all timeÂ" back in 1995. In 2015,
    it was valued at $540 million, according to commercial
    mortgage-backed securities data. That has since fallen to $270
    million, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimates. TrumpÂ's filing
    with the appeals court was the first time heÂ's hinted publicly that
    he may not have enough liquid assets to cover the verdict in the
    fraud case, where a judge ruled Feb. 16 that the former president had
    misled banks for years in violation of New York law. Trump also owes
    $83.3 million to writer E. Jean Carroll, who won a defamation suit
    against him last month, making matters even worse for the
    presidential candidate. In testimony last year, Trump claimed to have
    more than $400 million in cash. While thatÂ's a hefty sum, it
    wouldnÂ't be enough to cover the bonds heÂ'd need to post with the
    court while appealing the back-to-back verdicts. Trump has proposed
    posting a smaller $100 million bond while he appeals the New York
    fraud verdict, arguing that the judgment against him was Â"more than
    adequately securedÂ" without posting a full bond to appeal. Trump
    said his Â"vast ownership interests in New York real estateÂ" was
    sufficient to ensure heÂ'll pay the fine if his appeal failed. After
    all, he argued, Â"trophy propertiesÂ" like 40 Wall Street cannot be
    Â"removed from the jurisdiction in secret.Â" In the appeals court
    filing, TrumpÂ's attorney said other properties could be used for
    collateral, including Trump Tower and Trump Park Avenue in Manhattan,
    his Seven Springs estate outside New York City, and Trump National
    Golf Club. Â'InsufficientÂ' Assets
    James balked at TrumpÂ's offer for a smaller bond, arguing in a
    letter to the appeals court that risked leaving the state empty
    handed if TrumpÂ's appeal failed. Trump and the other defendants in
    the case, including his two grown sons, Â"all but concede that Mr.
    Trump has insufficient liquid assets to satisfy the judgment,Â" James
    said in the letter. Â"A prevailing plaintiff is entitled to have her
    award secured, and defendants have never demonstrated that Mr.
    TrumpÂ's liquid assets could satisfy the full amount of the
    judgment.Â" James has made clear that sheÂ's prepared to seize
    TrumpÂ's assets if he doesnÂ't pay the verdict or post an appeals
    bond on time, mentioning 40 Wall Street explicitly as a potential
    target in a recent interview with ABC News. Habba, TrumpÂ's attorney,
    criticized those remarks in her letter to the court, accusing James
    of Â"shamelesslyÂ" threatening to seize TrumpÂ's assets Â"if she is
    not paid quickly enough.Â" Despite TrumpÂ's warnings about his
    financial condition, an appeals court judge in Manhattan denied his
    emergency request Wednesday for a temporary halt to enforcement of
    the verdict in the fraud case, at least for now. But the former
    president will get another shot at arguing for a delay that would
    last throughout his legal challenge to the civil fraud judgment.
    James will file a response to that request by March 11, with any
    response by Trump due March 18. A full appeals court panel could rule
    any time after that.

    A friend of mine is a commercial real estate appraiser in NYC and she
    tells me that the market is circling the drain for many reasons.
    This would be the absolute worst time for Trump to have a fire sale of
    his properties. This full frontal attack on Trump is 100% politically
    motivated and it should concern everyone no matter the party
    affiliation.


    If tRump hadn't done the crime, he wouldn't be facing the consequences
    now.

    What crime? Who was the victim? How were they harmed?

    If tRump hadn't done the crime, he wouldn't be facing the

    What crime?

    Multiple instances of fraud.

    Proof of fraud?

    Trump says A
    Bank says C

    They both settle on B.

    It's called negotiation, and there is nothing fraudulent about it.

    Indeed you are asserting the Bank is inept and didn't do their own due diligence, which they did.


    Was anyone harmed?

    The taxpayers.

    How?

    Banks loved working with Trump and still do.

    Then why is he having a problem coming up with the bond?

    It's being demanded in cash, and the wealthy rarely have that much in liquid assets.

    But hey if I demanded a $20,000 cash bond from you, would you have to make arrangements to raise the money, even if your value is worth much more.

    Bail Bondsman exist for a reason. Most people don't have those kind of funds
    in cash.


    Trump has been in the real estate business for decades so why all of a
    sudden is he being prosecuted?
    I think you know the answer to that one.

    I think the answer I know is a lot different from yours.

    Well, your fantasies are a lot different from reality.....

    ==========
    The day Donald Trump left the White House, his business was facing $900
    million of debt coming due in the next four years. Working through those
    loans would have been a significant undertaking for any firm, but the
    Trump Organization was contending with additional challenges. Deutsche
    Bank, Trump’s longtime lender, was reportedly looking to end its
    relationship with the real estate mogul. Two other financial
    institutions, Signature Bank and Professional Bank, had spread the word
    that they were cutting ties in the wake of January 6, 2021. Meanwhile,
    the Manhattan district attorney was getting close to charging the Trump Organization with a series of financial crimes, including falsifying
    business records, conspiracy and fraud.

    Trump seeks to halt payment during appeal of NY fraud verdict

    The timing couldnÂ't be worse for Donald Trump as he faces the
    prospect of having to sell property to cover a massive verdict
    against him. The former president said in a court filing Wednesday
    he
    may soon need Â"to raise capital under exigent circumstancesÂ" to
    push ahead with an appeal New York stateÂ's $454 million civil fraud
    verdict against him. A brutal market for many commercial property
    owners means he faces significant losses in his real estate empire
    if
    he unloads assets. The billionaire has few options. He must pay the
    full judgment by March 25 or arrange a bond for at least 110% of the
    amount in order to put the fine on hold while he appeals. To get an
    appeal bond, Trump will need to hand over cash, sell properties or
    use them as collateral, tying up most if not all of his liquid
    assets
    for months or longer. Unless Trump can convince the appeals court to
    put the verdict on hold during his entire appeal, he could find
    himself in a financial squeeze. If heÂ's forced to sell, Â"there
    would be no way to recover any property sold following a successful
    appeal and no means to recover the resulting financial losses,Â"
    Trump attorney Alina Habba said in the filing. Meanwhile, New York
    Attorney General Letitia James has made clear that sheÂ's prepared
    to
    seize TrumpÂ's assets if he doesnÂ't pay the verdict or post an
    appeals bond on time. Brutal Market Making matters worse is a brutal
    market for many commercial real estate owners. Property values
    plunged as borrowing costs rose, and the remote work trend that
    started during the pandemic continues to cut into demand for office
    space. Prices slumped 22% in the year through January, according to
    real estate analytics firm Green Street. Habba didnÂ't immediately
    respond to a request for comment. Many sellers have been forced to
    accept drastically lower prices. The Aon Center, a Los Angeles
    office
    tower, recently sold for $147.8 million, about 45% less than its
    previous purchase price in 2014. A Los Angeles office building
    located near Century City and Beverly Hills sold for about 52% less
    than its price five years ago. Read More
    TrumpÂ's $540 Million Court Loss Tests His Â'King of DebtÂ' Claim
    Trump Owes $112,000 for Every Day He DoesnÂ't Pay Fraud Fine (1)
    Trump Trial Judge Slams Â'See No Evil, Hear No EvilÂ' Testimony
    The Trump Organization owns or invests in multiple office towers
    from
    New York to San Francisco. One of its key Manhattan properties, 40
    Wall St., was purchased by Trump in what his business hails as Â"one
    of the great real estate deals of all timeÂ" back in 1995. In 2015,
    it was valued at $540 million, according to commercial
    mortgage-backed securities data. That has since fallen to $270
    million, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimates. TrumpÂ's filing
    with the appeals court was the first time heÂ's hinted publicly that
    he may not have enough liquid assets to cover the verdict in the
    fraud case, where a judge ruled Feb. 16 that the former president
    had
    misled banks for years in violation of New York law. Trump also owes
    $83.3 million to writer E. Jean Carroll, who won a defamation suit
    against him last month, making matters even worse for the
    presidential candidate. In testimony last year, Trump claimed to
    have
    more than $400 million in cash. While thatÂ's a hefty sum, it
    wouldnÂ't be enough to cover the bonds heÂ'd need to post with the
    court while appealing the back-to-back verdicts. Trump has proposed
    posting a smaller $100 million bond while he appeals the New York
    fraud verdict, arguing that the judgment against him was Â"more than
    adequately securedÂ" without posting a full bond to appeal. Trump
    said his Â"vast ownership interests in New York real estateÂ" was
    sufficient to ensure heÂ'll pay the fine if his appeal failed. After
    all, he argued, Â"trophy propertiesÂ" like 40 Wall Street cannot be
    Â"removed from the jurisdiction in secret.Â" In the appeals court
    filing, TrumpÂ's attorney said other properties could be used for
    collateral, including Trump Tower and Trump Park Avenue in
    Manhattan,
    his Seven Springs estate outside New York City, and Trump National
    Golf Club. Â'InsufficientÂ' Assets
    James balked at TrumpÂ's offer for a smaller bond, arguing in a
    letter to the appeals court that risked leaving the state empty
    handed if TrumpÂ's appeal failed. Trump and the other defendants in
    the case, including his two grown sons, Â"all but concede that Mr.
    Trump has insufficient liquid assets to satisfy the judgment,Â"
    James
    said in the letter. Â"A prevailing plaintiff is entitled to have her
    award secured, and defendants have never demonstrated that Mr.
    TrumpÂ's liquid assets could satisfy the full amount of the
    judgment.Â" James has made clear that sheÂ's prepared to seize
    TrumpÂ's assets if he doesnÂ't pay the verdict or post an appeals
    bond on time, mentioning 40 Wall Street explicitly as a potential
    target in a recent interview with ABC News. Habba, TrumpÂ's
    attorney,
    criticized those remarks in her letter to the court, accusing James
    of Â"shamelesslyÂ" threatening to seize TrumpÂ's assets Â"if she is
    not paid quickly enough.Â" Despite TrumpÂ's warnings about his
    financial condition, an appeals court judge in Manhattan denied his
    emergency request Wednesday for a temporary halt to enforcement of
    the verdict in the fraud case, at least for now. But the former
    president will get another shot at arguing for a delay that would
    last throughout his legal challenge to the civil fraud judgment.
    James will file a response to that request by March 11, with any
    response by Trump due March 18. A full appeals court panel could
    rule
    any time after that.

    A friend of mine is a commercial real estate appraiser in NYC and she
    tells me that the market is circling the drain for many reasons.
    This would be the absolute worst time for Trump to have a fire sale
    of
    his properties. This full frontal attack on Trump is 100% politically
    motivated and it should concern everyone no matter the party
    affiliation.


    If tRump hadn't done the crime, he wouldn't be facing the consequences
    now.

    What crime? Who was the victim? How were they harmed?

    =============
    The president’s federal income tax records, obtained by The New York
    Times, show for the first time that, since 2010, his lenders have
    forgiven about $287 million in debt that he failed to repay. The vast
    majority was related to the Chicago project.

    How Mr. Trump found trouble in Chicago, and maneuvered his way out of it,
    is a case study in doing business the Trump way.

    When the project encountered problems, he tried to walk away from his
    huge debts. For most individuals or businesses, that would have been a
    recipe for ruin. But tax-return data, other records and interviews show
    that rather than warring with a notoriously litigious and headline-
    seeking client, lenders cut Mr. Trump slack — exactly what he seemed to
    have been counting on.

    Big banks and hedge funds gave him years of extra time to repay his
    debts. Even after Mr. Trump sued his largest lender, accusing it of
    preying on him, the bank agreed to lend him another $99 million — more
    than twice as much as was previously known — so that he could pay back
    what he still owed the bank on the defaulted Chicago loan, records show.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/27/business/trump-chicago-taxes.html


    Ultimately, Mr. Trump’s lenders forgave much of what he owed.

    Oh, is that what's going on? Are you implying that
    the courts, many of which are stacked with Judges
    appointed by the Pence-Trump regime, are corrupt?
    But I thought they were all affiliated with the
    Republicans, so how can they possibly be corrupt?

    The problem is, in our American tradition, we promote based on
    competency. This is so
    deeply ingrained into American business and government that even when
    one *tries* to
    promote based on loyalty, it backfires.

    Have you ever heard the saying "incompetency rises to the top" ?

    I've stated many times that Trump is a poor judge of character.

    Not of "character," because Trump has none. He's a poor judge of who will
    be a
    blindly loyal toady who will do whatever he tells them to do and to hell
    with
    the legality of it.

    Everyone he fired during his failure of an administration was someone who
    was
    trying to obey the law and the Constitution, rather than do the illegal
    things
    Trump wanted them to do.

    LIke what?

    I would also point out the massive number of lawsuits filed against the
    Biden Administration by the States and state officials against Biden's
    illegal activities.

    In the first 22 months of Biden's administration there were 55 multistate
    law suits filed against the Biden Administration.

    And shows the real reason for all of it... has nothing to do with the law.. it's purely a vendetta.

    A total and utter misuse and abuse of the law by our public officials, and

    tRump said so. He's looking for Loyalty and not qualifications.

    So no proof.


    Why do you want to see America get into so much trouble? Are you

    Biden is working toward it. These wars wouldn't be happening if Trump
    was in office.

    Who cares? You are playing with words again.

    Trump Trial Judge Slams Â'See No Evil, Hear No EvilÂ' Testimony
    The Trump Organization owns or invests in multiple office towers
    from
    New York to San Francisco. One of its key Manhattan properties, 40
    Wall St., was purchased by Trump in what his business hails as Â"one >> >>>> of the great real estate deals of all timeÂ" back in 1995. In 2015,
    it was valued at $540 million, according to commercial
    mortgage-backed securities data. That has since fallen to $270
    million, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimates. TrumpÂ's filing >> >>>> with the appeals court was the first time heÂ's hinted publicly that >> >>>> he may not have enough liquid assets to cover the verdict in the
    fraud case, where a judge ruled Feb. 16 that the former president
    had
    misled banks for years in violation of New York law. Trump also owes
    $83.3 million to writer E. Jean Carroll, who won a defamation suit
    against him last month, making matters even worse for the
    presidential candidate. In testimony last year, Trump claimed to
    have
    more than $400 million in cash. While thatÂ's a hefty sum, it
    wouldnÂ't be enough to cover the bonds heÂ'd need to post with the
    court while appealing the back-to-back verdicts. Trump has proposed
    posting a smaller $100 million bond while he appeals the New York
    fraud verdict, arguing that the judgment against him was Â"more than >> >>>> adequately securedÂ" without posting a full bond to appeal. Trump
    said his Â"vast ownership interests in New York real estateÂ" was
    sufficient to ensure heÂ'll pay the fine if his appeal failed. After >> >>>> all, he argued, Â"trophy propertiesÂ" like 40 Wall Street cannot be >> >>>> Â"removed from the jurisdiction in secret.Â" In the appeals court
    filing, TrumpÂ's attorney said other properties could be used for
    collateral, including Trump Tower and Trump Park Avenue in
    Manhattan,
    his Seven Springs estate outside New York City, and Trump National
    Golf Club. Â'InsufficientÂ' Assets
    James balked at TrumpÂ's offer for a smaller bond, arguing in a
    letter to the appeals court that risked leaving the state empty
    handed if TrumpÂ's appeal failed. Trump and the other defendants in
    the case, including his two grown sons, Ă‚"all but concede that Mr.
    Trump has insufficient liquid assets to satisfy the judgment,Ă‚"
    James
    said in the letter. Ă‚"A prevailing plaintiff is entitled to have her >> >>>> award secured, and defendants have never demonstrated that Mr.
    TrumpÂ's liquid assets could satisfy the full amount of the
    judgment.Â" James has made clear that sheÂ's prepared to seize
    TrumpÂ's assets if he doesnÂ't pay the verdict or post an appeals
    bond on time, mentioning 40 Wall Street explicitly as a potential
    target in a recent interview with ABC News. Habba, TrumpÂ's
    attorney,
    criticized those remarks in her letter to the court, accusing James
    of Â"shamelesslyÂ" threatening to seize TrumpÂ's assets Â"if she is >> >>>> not paid quickly enough.Â" Despite TrumpÂ's warnings about his
    financial condition, an appeals court judge in Manhattan denied his
    emergency request Wednesday for a temporary halt to enforcement of
    the verdict in the fraud case, at least for now. But the former
    president will get another shot at arguing for a delay that would
    last throughout his legal challenge to the civil fraud judgment.
    James will file a response to that request by March 11, with any
    response by Trump due March 18. A full appeals court panel could
    rule
    any time after that.

    A friend of mine is a commercial real estate appraiser in NYC and she
    tells me that the market is circling the drain for many reasons.
    This would be the absolute worst time for Trump to have a fire sale
    of
    his properties. This full frontal attack on Trump is 100% politically
    motivated and it should concern everyone no matter the party
    affiliation.


    If tRump hadn't done the crime, he wouldn't be facing the consequences
    now.

    What crime? Who was the victim? How were they harmed?


    For a list of NY crimes:

    https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/tto_release_properties_addendum_-
    _final.pdf


    =============
    The president?s federal income tax records, obtained by The New York
    Times, show for the first time that, since 2010, his lenders have
    forgiven about $287 million in debt that he failed to repay. The vast
    majority was related to the Chicago project.

    How Mr. Trump found trouble in Chicago, and maneuvered his way out of it,
    is a case study in doing business the Trump way.

    When the project encountered problems, he tried to walk away from his
    huge debts. For most individuals or businesses, that would have been a
    recipe for ruin. But tax-return data, other records and interviews show
    that rather than warring with a notoriously litigious and headline-
    seeking client, lenders cut Mr. Trump slack ? exactly what he seemed to
    have been counting on.

    Big banks and hedge funds gave him years of extra time to repay his
    debts. Even after Mr. Trump sued his largest lender, accusing it of
    preying on him, the bank agreed to lend him another $99 million ? more
    than twice as much as was previously known ? so that he could pay back
    what he still owed the bank on the defaulted Chicago loan, records show.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/27/business/trump-chicago-taxes.html


    Ultimately, Mr. Trump?s lenders forgave much of what he owed.

    He payed it all back on time and with interest. There was no victim.

    The banks have their own appraisers which are the final decision.
    This entire suit is a sham.
    The prosecutions witnesses, the banks, backed Trump.

    of the great real estate deals of all timeÂ" back in 1995. In 2015,
    it was valued at $540 million, according to commercial
    mortgage-backed securities data. That has since fallen to $270
    million, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimates. TrumpÂ's filing
    with the appeals court was the first time heÂ's hinted publicly that
    he may not have enough liquid assets to cover the verdict in the
    fraud case, where a judge ruled Feb. 16 that the former president
    had
    misled banks for years in violation of New York law. Trump also owes
    $83.3 million to writer E. Jean Carroll, who won a defamation suit
    against him last month, making matters even worse for the
    presidential candidate. In testimony last year, Trump claimed to
    have
    more than $400 million in cash. While thatÂ's a hefty sum, it
    wouldnÂ't be enough to cover the bonds heÂ'd need to post with the
    court while appealing the back-to-back verdicts. Trump has proposed
    posting a smaller $100 million bond while he appeals the New York
    fraud verdict, arguing that the judgment against him was Â"more than
    adequately securedÂ" without posting a full bond to appeal. Trump
    said his Â"vast ownership interests in New York real estateÂ" was
    sufficient to ensure heÂ'll pay the fine if his appeal failed. After
    all, he argued, Â"trophy propertiesÂ" like 40 Wall Street cannot be
    Â"removed from the jurisdiction in secret.Â" In the appeals court
    filing, TrumpÂ's attorney said other properties could be used for
    collateral, including Trump Tower and Trump Park Avenue in
    Manhattan,
    his Seven Springs estate outside New York City, and Trump National
    Golf Club. Â'InsufficientÂ' Assets
    James balked at TrumpÂ's offer for a smaller bond, arguing in a
    letter to the appeals court that risked leaving the state empty
    handed if TrumpÂ's appeal failed. Trump and the other defendants in
    the case, including his two grown sons, Â"all but concede that Mr.
    Trump has insufficient liquid assets to satisfy the judgment,Â"
    James
    said in the letter. Â"A prevailing plaintiff is entitled to have her
    award secured, and defendants have never demonstrated that Mr.
    TrumpÂ's liquid assets could satisfy the full amount of the
    judgment.Â" James has made clear that sheÂ's prepared to seize
    TrumpÂ's assets if he doesnÂ't pay the verdict or post an appeals
    bond on time, mentioning 40 Wall Street explicitly as a potential
    target in a recent interview with ABC News. Habba, TrumpÂ's
    attorney,
    criticized those remarks in her letter to the court, accusing James
    of Â"shamelesslyÂ" threatening to seize TrumpÂ's assets Â"if she is
    not paid quickly enough.Â" Despite TrumpÂ's warnings about his
    financial condition, an appeals court judge in Manhattan denied his
    emergency request Wednesday for a temporary halt to enforcement of
    the verdict in the fraud case, at least for now. But the former
    president will get another shot at arguing for a delay that would
    last throughout his legal challenge to the civil fraud judgment.
    James will file a response to that request by March 11, with any
    response by Trump due March 18. A full appeals court panel could
    rule
    any time after that.

    A friend of mine is a commercial real estate appraiser in NYC and she
    tells me that the market is circling the drain for many reasons.
    This would be the absolute worst time for Trump to have a fire sale
    of
    his properties. This full frontal attack on Trump is 100% politically
    motivated and it should concern everyone no matter the party
    affiliation.


    If tRump hadn't done the crime, he wouldn't be facing the consequences
    now.

    What crime? Who was the victim? How were they harmed?


    For a list of NY crimes:

    =============
    The president?s federal income tax records, obtained by The New York
    Times, show for the first time that, since 2010, his lenders have
    forgiven about $287 million in debt that he failed to repay. The vast
    majority was related to the Chicago project.

    How Mr. Trump found trouble in Chicago, and maneuvered his way out of it,
    is a case study in doing business the Trump way.

    When the project encountered problems, he tried to walk away from his
    huge debts. For most individuals or businesses, that would have been a
    recipe for ruin. But tax-return data, other records and interviews show
    that rather than warring with a notoriously litigious and headline-
    seeking client, lenders cut Mr. Trump slack ? exactly what he seemed to
    have been counting on.

    Big banks and hedge funds gave him years of extra time to repay his
    debts. Even after Mr. Trump sued his largest lender, accusing it of
    preying on him, the bank agreed to lend him another $99 million ? more
    than twice as much as was previously known ? so that he could pay back
    what he still owed the bank on the defaulted Chicago loan, records show.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/27/business/trump-chicago-taxes.html


    Ultimately, Mr. Trump?s lenders forgave much of what he owed.

    He payed it all back on time and with interest. There was no victim.

    If only the DA would repay all the money she and her boy friend spent on themselves... now there's a crime.

    Further, I'm thinking given how high this goes, if I were the judge I would
    be looking to throw out the whole case with prejudice for the prejudice and personal benefits the DA and her investigator gained through their wrongful investigation and prosecution of this specific person for their own personal agenda and financial enrichment. Indeed, I think a review of ALL her work
    and finances would be warranted as well as disbarment, civil suits, and criminal prosecution for DA and those also involved.

    He doesn't have to put up cash. He can borrow. He can pledge real

    'Trump’s Bankers Say His Exaggerated Net Worth Did Not Affect Loans

    The testimony of witnesses from Deutsche Bank lent support to a central plank of former President
    Donald Trump’s defense in the civil fraud case against him.'

    'Bankers whom Donald J. Trump is accused of defrauding testified at his civil fraud trial this week
    that they did not rely on his embellished claims of wealth, lending support to the central plank of
    the former president’s defense.

    The New York attorney general, Letitia James, sued Mr. Trump in 2022 for inflating his net worth on
    his annual financial statements to receive favorable loans from banks, notably including Deutsche
    Bank. Before the trial, the judge found that the statements were filled with examples of fraud; the
    trial will determine any consequences the former president may face.

    Mr. Trump has protested the premise of the case, insisting that the banks did their own due
    diligence and that misstatements in the financial documents would not have affected the overall
    terms of the loans. It follows, his lawyers have argued, that the alleged fraud had no victim.'

    'The bankers who testified this week supported that argument when asked about the loan process.

    “We are expected to conduct some due diligence and verify the information provided, to the extent
    that is possible,” David Williams, a banker in the wealth management group at Deutsche Bank, said on
    Tuesday. He said repeatedly that the bank had performed that diligence and factored its own analysis
    into the relationship with Mr. Trump.

    The attorney general has said that the bankers’ having done their own due diligence is not a
    defense. Her lawyers argued that to obtain the pretrial ruling, they were not required to show that
    the fraud had harmed the banks and that Mr. Trump’s exaggerations had been so hyperbolic that they
    would be “material to any user” '

    'Mr. Trump’s lawyers clearly felt that the bankers’ testimony vindicated their client. After Mr.
    Williams testified on Tuesday, Mr. Trump’s attorney Christopher Kise asked the judge for an
    immediate verdict in his client’s favor, arguing that Deutsche Bank had performed significant due
    diligence and was fully satisfied with the deals it struck with Mr. Trump."

    CHICAGO (CBS) -- President Donald Trump's lenders have forgiven around

    ==================
    Trump is notorious for leaving a trail of unpaid bills wherever he goes. Hundreds of people have accused him of failing to pay them for services, ranging from a glass company in New Jersey to workers at his resorts,
    real estate brokers, and even law firms who represented him in suits for
    unpaid bills.

    In his 2004 book Trump: Think Like a Billionaire, the former president instructed readers to “always question invoices.” But it sounds like his personal approach is more “Just ignore invoices.” He has been sued for
    failing to pay dozens of vendors who have worked his resort properties as
    well as his now-defunct, fraudulent university.

    Depends on who the loans were issued to. I suspect NONE of them were
    personal loans to Mr. Trump.

    Meanwhile, how about the Billions of dollars in loan forgiveness Biden has
    had issued?

    All those people criminals?

    According to your reasoning, they should all be headed to jail now.

    Careful how you answer because that's 3.9 Million people you would accuse of criminal misconduct.

    Further those were PERSONAL loans, for which they were personally liable

    IOW you do not understand the word "forgive"!

    He DID NOT pay back the loans with interest. He defaulted, he declared bankrupcy.

    Well shit.. I guess all the people who declare bankruptcy are criminals according to you.

    But I'm curious, if it's illegal why is it allowed by law?

    Ok, so the 3.9 million people who Biden allowed to default on their loans, should now be arrested?

    Heck, they didn't even have to go through the legal process of bankruptcy.

    That clearly would make them much more criminal than Trump.

    'TrumpÂ’s Bankers Say His Exaggerated Net Worth Did Not Affect Loans

    Why must you constantly be FORCED to cite your claims?

    This was about Deutsche bank. What other banks were involved?

    Swill

    What's the difference?
    Maybe they weren't asked?
    Did any of the other banks complain?

    Following your flawed reasoning, banks routinely accept apprasils by sellers/buyers as gospel
    instead of doing their own apprasils.

    Every seller tries to inflate the value of their property.
    Every buyer tries to minimize the value of the property they are purchasing.

    Banks are right on top of this.
    And when it's a big fish like Trump they have their best working on it.

    I've bought and sold 7 properties. All in NYC / NYS.
    And you?

    'Trumpâ?Ts Bankers Say His Exaggerated Net Worth Did Not Affect Loans

    Really?! Having to forgive those loans is "not affecting" them?

    Depends on who the loans were issued to. I suspect NONE of them were
    personal loans to Mr. Trump.

    Meanwhile, how about the Billions of dollars in loan forgiveness Biden has had issued?

    All those people criminals?

    According to your reasoning, they should all be headed to jail now.

    Careful how you answer because that's 3.9 Million people you would accuse of criminal misconduct.

    Further those were PERSONAL loans, for which they were personally liable
    for.


    A 'whale' like Trump would never take out a personal loan for this amount of transaction.
    Although I wonder why his properties were not shielded under a trust?
    Maybe they are, but I have not seen any evidence of it.

    Biden's loan forgiveness is just buying votes.
    Why should taxpayers who have paid off their loans be responsible for those who are careless in
    their financial decisions?
    Unfair.

    The fair solution is to change the entire college financing process starting with the fat cat
    administrators making tons of cash for doing nothing.

    So investigate why Penn State tuition costs more than $35k per year when they have sports teams
    that rake in tons of money?
    Like the various Lotto systems that were designed to assist state's education systems, something
    doesn't add up.

    Which personal loans to Trump were forgiven?




    Or do you mean like Student Loans where the borrower paid back the

    If they paid back the original loan with all interest owed they they
    wouldn't still owe on the loan.

    What you mean to say is that they were allowed to default on the loan,
    leaving the American taxpayer on the hook for their advanced education.
    Which apparently isn't worth the effort it took to get it, or they would
    have been able to pay of their student loans.

    But ok, since we have established that government backed student loans are a poor investment for America.. we should demand the immediate end of
    government backed student loans. If they want to go to college, let them pay for it.

    shielded under a trust? Maybe they are, but I have not seen any
    evidence of it.

    If Trump is that stupid about his own finances, why should he be
    anymore careful with ours?

    Swill

    Joe seems to think we can just give it away and forgive loans even
    though we're trillians in debt.


    You mean like banks forgave tRump loans?

    Which personal loans to Trump were forgiven?

    All the banks had no issues with Trumps business.

    I wonder who they would blame if Trump wasn't in the picture.




    Or do you mean like Student Loans where the borrower paid back the
    original loan with interest but still owes more than they borrowed?

    If they paid back the original loan with all interest owed they they
    wouldn't still owe on the loan.

    Doh!

    What you mean to say is that they were allowed to default on the loan, leaving the American taxpayer on the hook for their advanced education.
    Which apparently isn't worth the effort it took to get it, or they would
    have been able to pay of their student loans.



    But ok, since we have established that government backed student loans are a poor investment for America.. we should demand the immediate end of government backed student loans. If they want to go to college, let them pay for it.

    A loan is a loan, you borrow you pay it back. It's just that simple. If
    the asshats in college don't pay up then drop their credit score.

    Hey, here's an idea.. I think that everyone that had their student loan forgiven, should have their degrees withdrawn. They are no longed recognized
    as having a degree and their college records and transcripts are erased as
    if they had never attended. If contacted about such a degree, the response
    is "Our records show no such student has such a degree and the record shows they never attended any classes here.

    You didn't pay, you don't get the benefits of the degree or even acknowledgement you took the courses.

    After all, if the degree is that worthless to them, then cancelling it shouldn't cause them any issues.

    I could consider how to withdraw the education, but clearly they didn't
    learn enough to matter... otherwise they would have been able to pay off
    their student loan.

    And you want to give the Treasury to tRump?!!

    Did I say that? Why no I didn't. Trump will make those who don't pay
    either pay up or be at the bottom of the help list.

    Joe is handing out money to those who don't deserve it.

    Just look at all the money he's giving illegal aliens, while we can't feed
    and house our own citizens.

    Also seems those on government aid are totally pissed now that they found
    out that the illegal aliens get more in federal benefits than they do.

    To be fair DOn Fatso can get rid of loans with bankruptcy. Student
    loans can't.

    To bad. Maybe if they picked something they could actually earn money at
    they could do the same.

    Just goes to show, going to college doesn't automatically mean a good job,
    that you're well educated or even smart.
    I don't remember how many times I heard people telling those headed to
    college to just 'study what you love' rather than 'you need to study
    something you can get a good job doing'.

    Joe seems to think we can just give it away and forgive loans
    even though we're trillians in debt.


    You mean like banks forgave tRump loans?

    They had no complaints. Why do you always run from comments about
    Joe?

    Or do you mean like Student Loans where the borrower paid back the
    original loan with interest but still owes more than they
    borrowed?

    A loan is a loan, you borrow you pay it back. It's just that
    simple. If the asshats in college don't pay up then drop their
    credit score.

    Hey, here's an idea.. I think that everyone that had their student
    loan forgiven, should have their degrees withdrawn. They are no
    longed recognized as having a degree and their college records and
    transcripts are erased as if they had never attended. If contacted
    about such a degree, the response is "Our records show no such
    student has such a degree and the record shows they never attended
    any classes here.

    You didn't pay, you don't get the benefits of the degree or even
    acknowledgement you took the courses.

    After all, if the degree is that worthless to them, then cancelling
    it shouldn't cause them any issues.

    I could consider how to withdraw the education, but clearly they
    didn't learn enough to matter... otherwise they would have been able
    to pay off their student loan.



    You don't pay your car loan they take your car.


    How about all those Repugs that didn't repay their PPP loans?

    And just like that, Baxter wants to change the subject.

    This is why the younger generations are so fucked up.
    They have no sense of value and responsibility.
    At the same time they thing the world owes them something just because they earned that degree in
    gender studies.

    There is a video going viral where a Gen Z or maybe X is whining that she shouldn't have to work 8
    hours a day because it interferes too much with her life.

    Thank God these wimps weren't around during D- Day because we would all be speaking German today.

    to pay off their student loan.



    You don't pay your car loan they take your car.


    How about all those Repugs that didn't repay their PPP loans?

    Who cares?

    If you don't care about PPP loans, why do you care about Student Loans?

    So you think I should have to pay off a loan that some stupid kid took
    out without thinking first? Why are you shifting from the student loan topic?

    Did you see Joe give his campaign speech tonight. It sure was
    no state of the union.

    Yeah, he knocked it out of the park.

    Is that why everyone was booing him? It was a campaign speech full of
    lies, nothing more.


    This is why the younger generations are so fucked up.
    They have no sense of value and responsibility.
    At the same time they thing the world owes them something just because they earned that degree in
    gender studies.

    There is a video going viral where a Gen Z or maybe X is whining that she shouldn't have to work 8
    hours a day because it interferes too much with her life.

    Thank God these wimps weren't around during D- Day because we would all be speaking German today.

    I have a good friend and his son of 18 is cool but today I found out he couldn't read a watch with hands. For real.

    A loan is a loan, you borrow you pay it back. It's just that

    credit score.

    My son couldn't read an analog clock as well.
    They don't teach it in school anymore and this was in the late 90's.
    And he was not taught cursive writing either.

    These days I'll wager that kids are taught that they can be any sex they want as long as you are
    happy with yourself.
    Yikes.

    Joe seems to think we can just give it away and forgive loans
    even though we're trillians in debt.

    Hey, here's an idea.. I think that everyone that had their student

    transcripts are erased as if they had never attended. If contacted
    about such a degree, the response is "Our records show no such

    Who cares?

    If you don't care about PPP loans, why do you care about Student Loans?

    Because the idiot in the White House isn't spending OUR money to
    unilaterally decide to cancel that debt.

    Seems to me that Congress would have to be involved in that according to the Constitution. It certainly wasn't in any budget item approved by Congress as required by the Constitution.





    Did you see Joe give his campaign speech tonight. It sure was
    no state of the union.

    Yeah, he knocked it out of the park.

    The dog park.... but then Joe is always confused about such matters..
