I love how the lawyers were fined for presenting shitty arguments that they were specifically instructed not to. Hope that sets a precedent.

”Because of those misstatements, Trump had inflated his true net worth by billions of dollars.”

Aren’t those called Lies?

Fraud is also criminal in the State of NY. This is for the civil case. A DA could choose to press charges as well.

The smoking gun ...

The judge added that if liability for fraud is established under New York law, that statute allows the attorney general to obtain an order enjoining defendants from continuing to do business or “any fraudulent or illegal acts.”

Even after Engoron appointed an independent financial monitor for the Trump Organization last year, “defendants have continued to disseminate false and misleading information while conducting business,” the judge wrote.

“This ongoing flouting of this Court’s prior order, combined with the persistent nature of the false [statements of financial condition] year after year, have demonstrated the necessity of canceling the [defendants’ business] certificates ... as the statute provides,” the judge wrote.

LOL. Fucking traitor cunt.

In layman’s terms, what is happening to the voided properties?

The fact that Trump is appointing the independent feels… conflict of interesty.

Will wait for Legal eagle video

Letitia James rocks and I'm so excited with the verdict! This is such wonderful news!

AOC, while questioning Cohen, sends her regards.

Meh. Just confirms we knew he was a fraud.

Being a financial crime or whatever, the result will likely just be fines or restitution at worst (because rich people are involved) that will probably be neutered further in appeals.

IOW, nothing he hasn’t probably seen before, and nothing with any serious teeth that will prevent him from carrying on being the POS he is.

And so the cheap glue holding that cheater's house of cards together starts to come undone. There's a breeze in the air...

Huh, so apparently Ivanka is still free to do business.

All because his lawyers early in the case checked a box for bench trial instead of jury trial, then blew through all the deadlines involved in fixing it. Absolutely massive fuckup, especially when your legal strategy is to annoy the judge with repetitive nonsense arguments.

When your lawyers are getting fined personally for making stupid arguments too many times, your case is not going well. Trump's only hope was an idiot juror to hold out on a guilty verdict and give him a mistrial. No jurors in a bench trial. Truly and irrevocably fucked.
