    Will Letitia James and the good judge be prosecuting DB next? Afterall they accepted the claimed inflated valuations and information on Trump’s loan application and allegedly have been doing so for decades. They are sophisticated financial lenders and fiduciaries which requires responsibility to their shareholders. Surely Letitia can find some part of the NY leagal code that can be used to punish such irresponsible actions regardless of whether BD made money or not.

    I have read the thread. Most of it is nonsense. Take care,

    Yes, that's called "retirement". There are people from Canada and the northern tier of states going to FL, too. For retirement.

    Trump and his lackeys lied egregiously. Paying a price for over the top lying isn't and won't cause a business exodus from NY.

    And, oddly, the banks can order up independent evaluations. That the banks didn't do that says they trusted Trump and for good reason. That's a bizarre notion huh? :)

    Retirement has not caused real estate prices in West Palm Beach to double in the last 4 years. I am sitting in our son’s home which he bought for ~$300K ~ 4 years ago which is now worth ~ $600K. And no, Trump did not appraise it although Mara Lago is ~ 20 miles from here.

    Since you didn't read my post, I'll repeat:

    "Those profits, under NY law and on the basis of this decision, have now been taken from those corporations by the State of NY. Note that the lenders have not,
    and will not be penalized."

    On the other hand, this "sophisticated" lender was bidding against itself in that it made two different loan offers from two different divisions for the same real estate.
    Not very bright.

    The shareholders could sue the company for incompetence and loss of share value if they so chose. Then again, DB was lending money to Trump from Russian mafia types for years so their own assets probably weren't at risk. And they stopped doing business with the Orange Stain in 2021.
    Kind of let the cat out of the bag.

    President Biden IS leading U.S. very competently. Under HIS leadership we’ve avoided most of the pitfalls “experts” were predicting for the post-COVID economy.

    Truthfully, I don’t know what’s going on in El Salvador. Here in the United States we are enjoying a booming economy with record breaking unemployment, even high inflation CAUSED by COVID is now under control. I know this because I’ve been paying attention and not looking all over the world for something to criticize President Biden over because his great job performance doesn’t fit the tRumpublican paradigm. I even know he’s been a DEVOUT Christian his whole life.

    One thing President Biden hasn’t done is scare they **** out of our NATO allies by threatening to not only renege on our commitments but also encourage Putin to start War 3 and attack them, WITH his blessings, as tRaitor tRump DID!

    He claimed it as value when he stated, Trump overstated his property by 2300%.
    Words out of his own mouth.

    All conservation deeds claim that.
    And as I stated, and as a Miami real estate lawyer stated, (Under oath) you can abandon the club anytime you want.
    Unless you're here to claim you know more about Florida real estate law than the actual Florida real estate lawyer.

    18 million in property taxes would put the value in the 700 to 1 B value.

    Thats false and you know its false. First off, what the hell are you even talking about? Can't be developed? Its already developed. Did you think they were going to put homes on it. lol

    Yet I have provided you with, Forbes magazine, local real estate experts, a local real estate lawyer who testified under oath, Deutsch banks claim, and actual Palm Beach Realty companies that all say different to which you have ignored.
    All you have provided is your opinion because you have no information backing your claim..
    Think I'll go with experts over your opinion.

    DB is obviously complicit.

    When will they be prosecuted?

    No, but his lack of leadership made it much worse.

    Did any of those things prevent the economy from ******** the bed while he was President. We lost 2.9 million jobs during his maladministration. Prices were down because of a lack of demand. ISIS was already being defeated before Trump was elected. No immigrants were coming because of Covid. "Tax reform" tanked our budget.

    Every recommendation of Fauci and Birx was implemented. Blame them for the economic downturn and negative gdp growth in 2020. And I do BTW. Also BTW covid happened in the 2nd quarter of 2020. ISIS was finally defeated in 2029. Potential Illegal Aliens were detained in Mexico.

    The tax reforms stimulated our economy as all tax rate cuts do.

    Maybe its a bit more than defending Trump, if you are able to look to any future fall outs.
    Like Charging a presidential candidate with bank fraud, when the bank claims they weren't defrauded.
    Like Refusing a jury trial in the case
    Like a judge establishing Mar a lago value of 18-20 million, then fining you 355 million claiming you overstated your value by 2300%
    without a single victim in the case that was defrauded.

    But the never Trumpers can't see anything past orange man bad.
    Like taking the 14th out of context to remove presidential candidates from ballots.
    Like falsifying FISA warrants to spy on presidential candidates
    But you see no harm in this what so ever in the future? No precedence are being set in your mind?
    You have some emotional need to get Trump no matter the cost to others?
    Even when actual billion dollar investors are immediately making it public they will never invest in anything in NY as this kind of corruption isn't worth their time.
    Sad really

    That's just "Brandolini" nonsense:

    "Brandolini's law, also known as the bullshit asymmetry principle, is an internet adage coined in 2013 by Alberto Brandolini, an Italian programmer, that emphasizes the effort of debunking misinformation, in comparison to the relative ease of creating it in the first place. The law states:

    The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.
    "
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandolini's_law

    Nobody believes that crap so it's impossible to find anything to rebut it. :shock:

    No, they aren't. That would mean they have any clue of what they just did. and they don't. Leftist have no ability to forecast anything they do.
    They (like you) are so blinded by their hatred for Trump, they set historical precedences against themselves without even knowing it.
    Just like their idiotic nuclear option in the Senate because they wanted to seat federal judges that cost them 3 justice appointments in the very next election.
    Yeah, you guys are still whining about that to the point of trying to increase the amount of justices on the bench.

    Did you really think if the 14th could be used to disqualify presidential candidates that Democrats would be the only ones to use it, or were you so blind you thought it could only be used against Trump.

    Did you really think charging a presidential candidate with bank fraud, when the bank claimed they weren't defrauded, now establishing a precedent against all presidential candidates in the future, could only be used against Trump? Are you so blind that you can't even conceive of Republicans doing the very same thing?

    Democrats aren't much for forecasting their own futures. All they know is right now.
    Its actually amazing to see them rope in so many leftist to these ideas.

    Right! New York City the Business Capitol of the world fell on it's ass because of tRaitor tRump. :roll:
    The day after the judgement people packed up their busines's and moved to Florida?
    [​IMG]

    If you believe, in a city the size of NYC, that IF there was a trend caused by the tRaitor tRump judgment it would be noticeable 5 days later?

    [​IMG]

    That's funny!

    More Brandolini nonsense.

    "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Brandolini's law, also known as the bullshit asymmetry principle, is an internet adage coined in 2013 by Alberto Brandolini, an Italian programmer, that emphasizes the effort of debunking misinformation, in comparison to the relative ease of creating it in the first place. The law states:

    The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it."

    • Inflation was about the same as it is now.
    • ISIS isn't back and tRaitor tRump had NOTHING to do with it.
    • I guess you forgot about the Afghanistan war that tRaitor tRump's treaty strengthened the Taliban and made it impossible to withdraw from that war.
    • The "border" was NOT under control, people coming did slow down because of tRaitor tRump's inhumanity.
    • "Mitch McConnell's" Voodoo economics 2.0 did pass and the only thing tRaitor tRump had to do with it was he signed it.
    • Lowered individual and small income tax will expire next year while voodoo trickle down is permanent.
    The truth is tRaitor tRump totally screwed the pooch dealing with COVID. He was so worried about how it would affect he reelection he lied about it, he went against the advice of medical experts and, at least, a million American's died that wouldn't have if not for his ineptitude.

    He inherited a booming economy and handed off one that was in flames. The truth is IF he had done his job instead of worrying about keeping his job he would BE president right now. Instead it was left to President Biden to pickup the pieces an fix the mess tRaitor tRump left. AND, for the first time in history we DID NOT have a peaceful transfer of power. :(

    You said the world became a better place. Covid wasn’t better.
    And he is definitely responsible for mismanaging the crisis in America.

    Fauchi and Birx did that. Birx made up data to justify lockdowns. Fortunately state governors like DeSantis took the tome to understand the science and data. The economies of those states did not suffer as much, their kids went to school, and small businesses stayed in business.

    BTW why do you think the Covid crisis was mismanaged?
