    "Obstreperous conduct."

    "Lives in a fantasy world"

    "Fraudulently inflating"

    "Claiming money you do not have is not 'The Art of the Deal', it's the Art of the Steal' --- Letitia James, NY AG.

    His NY Business certs are CANCELLED by a Judge.

    It appears the judges feels that there isn't anything here for a jury to figure out, the facts are blatantly clear,

    ORDERED...the parties are directed to recommend the names of no more than
    three potential independent receivers to manage the DISSOLUTION of the cancelled LLCs.

    Ouch!

    What the jury will be required to do is decide what are the damages. I guess that's the fun part!

    Karma's a bitch, I know.

    NEW YORK, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Donald Trump and his family business were found liable for fraud on Tuesday by a New York judge in state Attorney General Letitia James' civil lawsuit accusing the former U.S. president of illegally inflating his assets and net worth.

    The decision by Justice Arthur Engoron of the New York state court in Manhattan is a near total defeat for Trump, and limits the scope of a scheduled Oct. 2 trial largely to how much the defendants should pay in damages.

    Will this disqualify Trump from running for president? Oh wait, only the voters can decide that.

    Wasn’t that the goal of the AG? After all, she said she would get him. So did Bragg. Remember, this is New York politics where even corruption by governors is ignored.

    After more than 2 years of unsubstantiated whining about being the VICTIM of fraud, we find that that the Whiner in Chief was really the Fraudster in Chief...!

    Perfect.....:roflol::roflol::roflol:

    These very low-IQ judges and affirmative action AGs are clueless. Third party appraisers for both the banks and insurance companies determine value, not Trump. He'll win this on appeal.

    We know y'all don’t — the only accurate statement he has ever made was that he could murder someone in Times Square and he wouldn’t lose a single supporter. I guess that does say something about his base.

    The convictions have not happened yet — just wait

    They just ordered the entire trump organization dissolved

    No, its not just those evil Republicans. My fellow democrats on this forum seem completely out of touch with reality right now. We are going to lose while you guys keep posting these "gotcha" post that only the extreme in our party care about. Average american does not give a ****.

    Biden, Biden, Biden... This thread is about Trump. Oh, it's not like it is expected that you violate your own principles.

    BTW: Your allegation that Biden will loot a building is total B$. The people picketing are actual WORKERS, you know, the ones that Trump pretends to have on his side. But, where is Trump?

    Back to the topic of the thread: Anyone with a brain cell knows that Trump and sons inflated the values of their properties when it comes to getting loans, but under-reported when it comes to paying taxes. That's how tax cheats roll.

    No, unfortunately what ‘your’ party is doing is playing too much by Marquis of Queensbury rules. Touting low inflation, good job numbers, growth, etc. They’ve avoided fighting the ‘he’s too old and mumbles a lot’ fire with fire...

    Meanwhile, The Stain presents an almost irresistible target, with his recent boasts about beating George Bush in the 2016 primaries, beating Obama in 2016 AND 2020, threatening the outbreak of World War TWO and musing about executing generals....and yet not one shot taken by ‘your’ people..!

    She said she would get him and certainly tried hard enough.

    Not true, they often accepted his numbers because of his celebrity.

    What timing?

    Trump has found himself in court more than 2,000 times since he started doing business.

    He has been convicted of all kinds of fraud, misrepresentation and non-payment of suppliers and contractors.

    How much did he have to pay the 1,600 defrauded students at the fantastic Trump University?

    25 million $....

    If Trump weren't in politics today, what's happening to him today would go completely unnoticed.

    But since he's the head of a cult, the MAGA call him a victim on the same level as Jesus.

    Wrong!

    Build a luxury condominium tower in Manhattan, and it might be worth $500 million. Put the name “Trump Tower” on it, and it may be worth $800 million because people are willing to pay a premium to live there.

    The replacement value — which is the basis of the insurance premium — is going to be closer to the $500 million value because if the building is destroyed in a disaster the insurer isn’t paying to rebuild a brand name, just a building.

    FTR, I think the indictment count is only 91... well short of that magic 100 number....

    I find it a bit sad that Trump and his pack of offspring don't face actual fraud criminal charges for the criminal fraud committed here...
