The verdict in Donald Trump’s $370m fraud trial will be coming later than expected, with a decision expected in early to mid-February, a New York court spokesperson said on Thursday.

The New York judge Arthur Engoron had initially said he would aim to deliver a verdict on the potential $370m fine by 31 January. “I will do my best” to meet the deadline, he said on 11 January after the trial’s closing arguments.

Engoron had found Trump guilty of fraud – inflating the value of his assets on financial documents – in a pre-trial ruling in late September. The trial was over whether Trump and his company had committed fraud with intent, which is punishable with a hefty fine. The New York attorney general’s office, which brought the suit against Trump, is asking for $370m in disgorgement and to ban Trump from doing business in New York.

Just like the Sublime song: "Not doing time, the livings easy"

that's because he's rich now, and rich people obviously don't have to face cosnequences.

Well no. Thats just how much his fine is for committing tax fraud. Someone can absolutely correct me if I'm wrong but I'm not sure it's public knowledge how much he defrauded the IRS out of. At least I can't find anything definitive myself.

i dont think the specific number matters here, does it? its a lot. can we agree its a lot?

Considering today is February 1, that tracks. :)

As long as he gets it right, who cares if its a couple weeks off. As long as he makes it appeal-proof (which it likely is in the alternative all by itself because DT needs to post bond on the verdict amount if he wants to fruitlessly appeal and he's not gonna wanna post 300-700 million the judgement is likely to approximate in disgoregment fines), its all A-OK

For once, thank God its New York, the system fucking works :)

He should work for Kroger. They steal money from me every week.

Do it while you can. Give it enough time, and they'll have image recognition built into the overhead camera acting as an item verification.

Damn it Engoran hurry up I need this, I live on schadenfreude and flickers of vengeance.

[–] formergijoe@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

He's probably waiting for what is revealed in Weisselberg's perjury plea from this case.

[–] magnetosphere@kbin.social 7 points 9 months ago

Let him worry about it for longer. That’s fine.
