    It's actually quite a good read. I'm sure the judge's clerk worked extra hard on it.

    They had every opportunity to audit him and do their own SUBJECTIVE appraisal of his ne worth. Did nyone lose any money? Did they get what they paid for? I find no civil actions against him or the organization.

    Yeah, lets find out who is the uninformed one. lol
    Trump lawyers didn’t forget to check a box on jury trial, Judge Engoron says
    https://www.legaldive.com/news/trum...a-box-on-jury-trial-judge-engoron-say/696385/
    Donald Trump’s attorneys did not forget to check a box to request a jury trial in the Trump Organization fraud trial, New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron said this week in an effort to clear up misinformation about the high-profile case.

    And you're telling others to inform themselves? Now that we cleared that up, because you rely on propaganda instead of actual facts, lets move on to the next propaganda post.

    Mar a lago is just one example of this judges bias and corruption.

    And again, the propaganda continues.
    Trump’s lawyers displayed a screenshot of a property tax document for 40 Wall Street, now called the Trump Building. The slide described the property as a “72 story landmark building in the Financial District, directly across from the New York Stock Exchange.

    The Trump Organization’s chief legal officer, Alan Garten, explained to Forbes a month ago that 40 Wall Street has 63 floors of commercial space, but “when you add the space from 63 to the cupola, the building totals 72 floors of commercial space.

    Yet again, showing how the propaganda left just slurps up BS to stomp their feet at Trump.

    Really, show me.
    Since you have been wrong on everything else you have posted I doubt you will.

    By setting unreversible precedents for the same behavior to all presidential candidates?
    Thanks for confirming exactly what I claimed.

    Blame the customer ? So it's the customer's fault that Trump submitted false SFC's ?
    And as has been repeated ad nauseam, damages are not relevant to the law that was broken. Please inform yourself.

    "This Court takes judicial notice that New York State, particularly New York City, is the financial
    capital of the country and one of the financial capitals of the world. The City’s fabled Wall
    Street is synonymous with capital formation, investing, trading, lending, and borrowing. In a
    summary judgment Decision and Order dated September 26, 2023, NYSCEF Doc. 1531, the
    Court addressed the State’s judicially recognized interest in an honest marketplace:


    “In varying contexts, courts have held that a state has a quasisovereign
    interest in protecting the integrity of the marketplace.”
    People v Grasso, 11 NY3d 64, 69 at n 4 (2008); People v Coventry
    First LLC, 52 AD3d 345, 346 (1st Dept 2008) (“the claim pursuant
    to Executive Law § 63(12) constituted proper exercises of the
    State’s regulation of businesses within its borders in the interest of
    securing an honest marketplace”); People v Amazon.com, Inc., 550
    F Supp 3d 122, 130-131 (SDNY 2021) (“[T]he State’s statutory
    interest under § 63(12) encompasses the prevention of either
    ‘fraudulent or illegal’ business activities. Misconduct that is illegal
    for reasons other than fraud still implicates the government’s
    interests in guaranteeing a marketplace that adheres to standards of
    fairness …”).


    Timely and total repayment of loans does not extinguish the harm that false statements inflict on
    the marketplace. Indeed, the common excuse that “everybody does it” is all the more reason to
    strive for honesty and transparency and to be vigilant in enforcing the rules
    . Here, despite the
    false financial statements, it is undisputed that defendants have made all required payments on
    time; the next group of lenders to receive bogus statements might not be so lucky. New York
    means business in combating business fraud.

    It's not what they know. It's what you understand.

    Which isn't enough.

    So when a used car salesman says a car is worth X and you say you think it X-1 and the seller says OK, he has engaged in fraud. Gotcha.

    Just to repeat the original fact: The bench trial was prescribed by the law that controlled the proceeding.
    As to your false interpretation of "Trump lawyers didn’t forget to check a box on jury trial, Judge Engoron says", that's because there was no box to check off. The AG requested a bench trial since that was proscribed by the law supporting the complaint. Now that we cleared that up, because you rely on propaganda instead of actual facts, lets move on to the next propaganda post.

    Mar a lago is just one example of using publicly available figures versus the inflated value Trump pulled out of his butt.

    As for 40 Wall St, which is it ? Depending on which Trump document you look at it either has 63 floors or 71. I guess it depends on what the Orange Stain wanted , a loan or a tax break. Either way, the operating income for the building was falsified: from millions in profit to millions in losses.

    I just showed you. Ready to fess up ?
    Since you have been wrong on everything else you have posted I doubt you will.

    Thanks for that

    Donald Trump’s attorneys did not forget to check a box to request a jury trial in the Trump Organization fraud trial, New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron said this week in an effort to clear up misinformation about the high-profile case.

    And you call others uninformed?

    So based on your claim of how informed you are, you did even know what the judge stated in his ruling?
    Pretty much what I thought.
    Real estate insiders bewildered by judge’s $18M valuation of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago
    https://nypost.com/2023/09/27/donald-trumps-mar-a-lago-worth-at-least-300m-sources/
    A New York judge’s Tuesday ruling valuing Donald Trump’s sprawling, headline-making Florida estate at $18 million has left industry experts perplexed.
    In his verdict, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron delivered a bombshell ruling that the former president committed fraud by inflating the value of his wealth, with details including the monetary value associated with Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach.

    This decision, which came down without a jury, has sent shockwaves through political — and real estate — circles, especially that $18 million base value for the property.

    NEXT

    Says the poster who is stating propaganda over the actual court documents.


    It would be that the SCOTUS does.
    And so does 13 other states that turned down that idiocy.
    But apparently you are one of the left over 15%ers who didn't know what the 14th actually states.

    Yeah, you checked alright. lol
    Ex-FBI lawyer admits to false statement during Russia probe
    https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-b9b3c7ef398d00d5dfee9170d66cefec
    WASHINGTON (AP) — A former FBI lawyer pleaded guilty Wednesday to altering a document related to the secret surveillance of a former Trump campaign adviser during the Russia investigation. Kevin Clinesmith is the first current or former official to be charged in a special Justice Department review of the investigation into ties between Russia and Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

    Tell me, are you paid to provide so much propaganda, or are you truly this uninformed?

    Real estate mogul Grant Cardone announced on Tuesday that his firm Cardone Capital would no longer underwrite New York real estate

    Kevin O'Leary vowed to no longer invest in the state as a result of the verdict.

    You have a current Trucking boycott against NY over this idiocy as well.

    How many videos would you like to review of NYs biggest investors pulling out.
    Major investors pull business from New York City following Trump verdict
    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...ll-business-new-york-following-trump-verdict/
    Prominent investors have signaled their intent to halt their business in New York following the $355 million verdict in former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud case.
    Real estate mogul Grant Cardone announced on Tuesday that his firm Cardone Capital would no longer underwrite New York real estate, just days after Kevin O’Leary vowed to no longer invest in the state as a result of the verdict.


    “Immediately discontinue ALL underwriting on New York City real estate,” Cardone ordered his firm in a post on X. “The risk outweigh the opportunities at this time. Recent political decisions will continue to deteriorate price and benefit states that don’t have these challenges. Focus on Texas & Florida.”

    But again, you couldn't find anything on it?


    You mean like denying a jury trial?
    You mean like a judge assessing his own property values to claim you committed fraud?
    You mean like charging you with bank fraud, when the bank says no fraud exist?
    You mean like assessing fines so high, small countries couldn't pay it?

    You're so blinded by your own hatred you can't even tell when your own rights are at stake.
    Hence all the false post you just made.

    Don't worry about it. It will be overturned on appeal. Meanwhile, digest this:

    I heard that Judge Engoron tried assaulting Alina Habba in the can! He was screaming anti Trump ravings as he whipped it out and then then he admitted to misconstruing the law! He said “Trump gets no jury! I am violating his 8th amendment rights which he doesn’t have here anyway! Hahaha!”

    He’s obviously got great arguments on appeal

    A trial by jury was requested where the plaintiff REQUESTED a jury trial
    The judge refused and ordered a bench trial
    So your out of context claim is garbage

    You mean like using the Palm Beach member tax of 18 million, which has nothing to do with the property value, to claim Trump inflated the price by 2300%?
    Please

    Really, then you can provide all these documents with different floor claims.
    I'll wait
    Since you were wrong on the other two, I doubt you will produce anything on this claim either

    You just showed what you always do. Take information out of context to post propaganda.
