It's not important whatever happens to her.


There is a reason this thread is in the Sandbox.
... It's in the forum HERE because the Monitours didn't feel
that the thread is political in nature.

... Though I'm rather NOT seeing WHY you are posting here
IF you don't fancy the content of the thread.

... See? ... Some of us DO CARE what happens to Letitia James. ...

A private citizen many have saved a little money on interest......so it requires the US President to get involved ? This is a case for a beginning law school graduate. Originally Posted by VitaMan

She broke the public trust and deserves the book thrown at her, just the way she did to politicians she doesn’t like. It just tastes more delicious being nearly the exact thing she pretended the president did.
... Letitia has "lawyered up" even before charges are brought.
Rather High Priced barrister named Abbie Lowell.

No doubt he'll surely refer to whatever Letitia signed in
those documents as "mistakes"...

As the barrister will claim that the case against
Letitia must have "political motivations"...

... And --- A NY Ethics Complaint has been filed against
Letitia James for her conduct - thus being a barrister herself
and signing paperwork that has false or misleading facts
on the propertys that she owns. ... So she could get better
mortgage terms and save herself tax liability.

Mistakes, outright lies, and mis-representations are CRIMES.

... In the case against Trump - she ultimately decided that
TRUMP bared the responcibility for the documents submitted
to mortgage lenders - whether it was Trump who filled out
the paperwork or someone else.

... So, it would then seem that Letitia James should thus
be held to that very-same lofty standard.

... It's onley fair. ...

Smells like chicanery. Either that or dead fishes.

BIG NEWS by Joel Gilbert on the Letita Files: My Visit to Letitia James’s Apartment Building CONFIRMS Mortgage Fraud Allegations

...On our visit to 296 Lafayette Avenue, Antar and I sought to document the number of units in the building and the number of floors. The first thing we did was walk up the steps to the elevated first floor of the building.

Just outside the main entrance were doorbells for four units, labeled “1 floor,” “2 Floor,” “3A” and “3B” – four separate apartment units beginning at the elevated first floor.

The entire first and second floors were single apartments, while the third floor was split into two apartments, exactly as indicated on the official Certificate of Occupancy.

On the CoO, there is an additional apartment unit on the ground floor, listed as “basement.” We looked at the ground level, and sure enough the basement apartment had a separate entrance with its own doorbell.

This made for five total apartment units as listed on the CoO, and not four as James has claimed in her many mortgage applications.

The next issue we sought to verify whether the building had four stories or three stories as James has maintained in her annual HPD registrations.

In New York City, a building with a basement apartment and three additional floors above it is considered a four-story building for the purposes of HPD registration.

To qualify as “a story” a basement unit must have at least half of its height above the ground level.

If the building’s lowest level meets the definition of a basement, especially if used as an apartment, it must be counted as a story. Misclassifying a basement unit to understate the number of stories is a registration violation and can lead to potential penalties.

I measured the height from the sidewalk to the top of the floor of the basement apartment at 87 inches or 7 1/4 feet. Then I measured the distance from the sidewalk level to the bottom of the single step that led to the door of the basement apartment at only 16 inches, or 1 1/3 feet.

In sum, the ground floor “basement” apartment was roughly 82 percent above ground, unmistakably more than the 50 percent above ground needed to qualify as a “story.”

In fact, the Certificate of Occupancy for James’s building lists a “cellar” as well, under the “basement” unit, further indicating that James’s basement apartment unit is a “story” and cannot possibly be considered a cellar...
... Not-onley THAT - but SIX (6) electrical metres there.
One for each "apartment unit" and a sixth metre for common spaces.

Letitia misrepresented the number of units to get a better loan.
A special rate programme that's onley good for buildings with four units
or less... Five units or more do not qualify for the special rate.

So, Letitia then cheated by claiming there's onley 4 units there.

This is just ONE of fraud issues against her. .. There's a few more.
