Trump Determined to be a Fraud

NY judge dismissed 80% of the case due to statue of limitations of being too old.

That certainly weakens her case.

So the Judge doesn’t think Trump’s holdings were not as valuable as he claimed in order to secure loans.

This charade will end up in an appeals court where Trump will win. Why? Simple.

He got the loans Originally Posted by Jackie S
Not that the judge doesn't think. It was determined by documents presented to court. Donny thought beating his chest and grimancing (sp) would be enough for the court. But he was mistaken in thinking the judge was sitting on the court of public opinion.

Were the properties in question not appraised by an independent third party? Originally Posted by Ducbutter

Speaks volumes for the rest of the properties in question.

That’s how a summary judgment works. You file a motion and memorandum, a list of uncontested facts, a list of contested facts, attach affidavits, depositions and other documentary evidence. The opposing side does similarly. The judge decides whether the information presented establishes the facts and law sufficient that there are no material facts requiring trial and either renders a decision or says - this needs to go to a jury.

In this case the judge made that decision based on what was presented by both sides and produced a 45 page decision. Originally Posted by 1blackman1

Seems to me that the main fraudsters in the current case are the AG and Judge. Frankly, I don't see their qualifications to determine commercial real estate valuations.

It would appear they used Zillow . com to arrive at their evaluation of up to 19-$24M. However, one must also remember that the same Zillow claimed Trump xfered the property valued at $420M to his son.Then later said ooops, in tiny-small print and updated their website to no fan fare..

And then there are the details. Zillow is showing the property as 5,200-ish square feet in size. Coincidentally, a nearby property of about the same size with 5 bedroom recently sold for $14M and the property adjacent to Mar-a-Lago is a 2 acre tract with no beach access and no improvements (buildings) listed for $200M.

In review, Mar-a-Lago is on 17-20 acres, has water on two sides, with 2 acres of beaches and over 56,000 sq ft, 55 bedrooms, 38 bathrooms and an 1,800 sq ft dinning room, is a commercial parcel (business) and so much more. Oh sure! Probably just typos in the current Zillow listing. Yeah, right!

Regardless, if I were going into a court case involving the valuation of commercial real estate, I would bring in a world renowned and highly successful developer of commercial real estate, ala Donald J Trump, over two dick-head partisan hacks with zero knowledge in real estate or real estate transactions any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Just remember, it is not a bank or insurance company or purchaser of any real estate bringing suit here. It is brought by two dick-head partisan hacks with zero knowledge in real estate or real estate transactions. Originally Posted by FesteredUncle

... But THIS Judge is not doing that.
The affidavits, testimony and other documentary evidence
shows that he grossly undervalued Trump's Mar-a-Largo property.

Doug Larson, who works for the real estate firm Newmark, was listed in a series of Trump Organization documents as having appraised properties like 40 Wall Street, Trump Tower, and the retail space adjoining Trump Tower known as "Niketown." However, under oath he testified that he never did the listed work.

"Is it fair to say that Mr. Trump valued Trump Tower at $526 million in conjunction with you?" said Ladov. "No, that is incorrect," Larson replied.

"Were you aware that Mr. McConney was citing you as a valuation source in his work papers?" Ladov followed up. "No, I was not," said Larson, clarifying he did not assess Trump Tower, Niketown, or 40 Wall Street.


Anyone surprised that Trump and the idiot sons lied on forms submitted to banks regarding appraised values of their properties? Sure this comes as no surprise to anyone.

Looks like some overstatements were made regarding his assets as well.


Hawthorn, the chief accounting officer of the Trump Hotels division of the Trump Organization, testified at former President Donald Trump's civil fraud trial in New York that he "overstated" the value of the company's assets in 2018, reported ABC News on Monday.

According to the report, when a third-party accounting agency asked for the total amount of Trump's liquid assets, "Hawthorn said he consulted the financial statement that listed 'cash equivalents in excess of $290 million'." But New York Attorney General Letitia James alleges that 30 percent of those liquid assets were actually owned by Vornado Partnerships, a company with whom Trump had a partnership interest but was distinct from the Trump Organization, which was not disclosed on the statement.

I’m sure these were all simple errors and that he did not intend to a fraud.
Go Trump!!! Everyone does it. If you don't you're stupid. I claim I'm worth twice what I'm really worth on paper. The dimocrats are afraid of him. Biden is ten times the crook as Trump, and he's not even a good crook. They have hard evidence on him and his son

So far-

Trump has been indicted 4x and facing 91 felonies.

Biden- likes ice cream. 0 indictments, 0 crimes.

Math is hard,

being a fraud for Trump and his followers is easy.
... And yet - TRUMP surely continues to lead in the Polls! ...

Indictments are becoming cheap distractions.

Maybe the system needs overhauling.

Biased prosecutors take opinionated “evidence” before a bunch of biased citizens.

They can ruin lives with no reprecusdions.

This attitude is what's wrong with a large portion of the world and most of our politicians. There are those who game the system and those who don't. I respect those that work hard and pay their taxes. I bitch about the ones that game the system and then brag about it. Let's try to be a part of the solution and not a part of the problem.

It's much to early to rely on polls, even though I am a firm believer of polls. Currently in most polls 15-20% of voters are "Undecided" which is huge, meaning a lot can change in the next year. Trump leads in most polls in Arizona and Georgia. Biden leads in most polls in Michigan and Wisconsin. Polls in Pennsylvania are mixed. Trump must win 3 of those 5 states to win.

Trump has a lot to lose in upcoming months with his trials. His downside is huge at this point in time.

If you apply for a loan and overestimate your net worth by 2 times what it actually is on the application, that is fraud.

"According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), making false statements on loan applications is a white-collar crime and is punishable by up to 30 years of imprisonment. While going to prison for lying on an application is rare, it can happen – and has happened."

And no, there is no hard evidence against Joe Biden. The committee led by Comer has not come up with any tangible evidence as of this point in time, even though they are looking hard.
... The Banks didn't believe Trump "over-estimated"... But glad to
see you agree with FBI interpretation of the rules.
Is THAT the same FBI who told us Trump colluded with Russia?
And also told us that the Hunter laptop is fake and Russian dis-info?
... THAT same FBI??

Is the FBI really the Fraud??

... Hmmm... No "hard" evidence - and - No "tangible evidence"
against Joe Biden? ... So YOU then, Speed, surely must
believe the Joe Biden is telling the truth with all of this?

... Biden is the Fraud... Just like the FBI.

In all honesty, I do not care much about the outcome of this trial or his Stormy Daniels trial. Even if found guilty, the impact to Trump's election campaign will be minimal. However, the trials in Florida, Georgia, and Washington, D.C., if Trump is convicted on a number of the counts against him, could go a long way in destroying his election chances.

It will be up to the rest of 'Merica' to do the right thing and vote for the persons' who don't face formal charges, convictions and records of not following any laws.

Than the next time you pay your property tax, send them 10% of what they are asking. Tell us what happens.

Again, stay on topic. Thread is about fraud. You know. What donny&co was screaming about the election but never presented in 60+ court cases. Not Mueller, hunny b, easter bunny, etc.

Don't be pushing to get this thread closed because you don't like the facts being presented like the other thread you closed.

Eye, Speed, TxDot, thanks for your post that support what i've said on another thread and is apropos to this one. Facts that are presented in the proper forum (be they a hooker site or court of law) can not be ignored with off the cuff, intentionally duplicious (sp) remarks of those not wanting to believe them.
