This Footnote on Trump Boasting About His Saudi Line of Credit Is Terrifying

But in a deposition, Trump “seems to imply that the numbers cannot be inflated because he could find a ‘buyer from Saudi Arabia’ to pay any price he suggests,” New York state Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron wrote in his ruling.

“This statement may suggest influence buying more than savvy investing,” he added in a footnote. ...

 

Trump has also hosted LIV Golf tournaments at his clubs. The Saudi-backed golf league is widely seen as an attempt to sportswash the country’s human rights record.

Dissolving Trump’s business empire would stand apart in history of NY fraud law

Updated 7:58 AM GMT+7, January 30, 2024

 

NEW YORK (AP) — Within days, Donald Trump could potentially have his sprawling real estate business empire ordered “dissolved” for repeated misrepresentations on financial statements to lenders, adding him to a short list of scam marketers, con artists and others who have been hit with the ultimate punishment for violating New York’s powerful anti-fraud law.

 

An Associated Press analysis of nearly 70 years of civil cases under the law showed that such a penalty has only been imposed a dozen previous times, and Trump’s case stands apart in a significant way: It’s the only big business found that was threatened with a shutdown without a showing of obvious victims and major losses.

 

AP’s review of nearly 150 reported cases since New York’s “repeated fraud” statute was passed in 1956 showed that nearly every previous time a company was taken away, victims and losses were key factors.

Judge Engoron will probably ensure that the terms of his verdict won't be overturned on appeal. So, he probably won't permanently cancel business licenses.

AP’s review of nearly 150 reported cases since New York’s “repeated fraud” statute was passed in 1956 showed that nearly every previous time a company was taken away, victims and losses were key factors. Customers had lost money or bought defective products or never received services ordered, leaving them cheated and angry.

 

What’s more, businesses were taken over almost always as a last resort to stop a fraud in progress and protect potential victims. They included a phony psychologist who sold dubious treatments, a fake lawyer who sold false claims he could get students into law school, and businessmen who marketed financial advice but instead swindled people out of their home deeds.

A judge holds the fate of Trump’s empire: What to know about the coming verdict

Updated 3:56 PM EST, Tue January 30, 2024

 

"After a contentious 11-week trial, Judge Arthur Engoron is poised to rule how much money Trump and his co-defendants owe for fraud as well as whether the former president can still do business in the state. He has already ruled that Trump engaged in fraud."

 

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/01/30/politics/trump-fraud-trial-verdict-what-to-watch-for/index.html

 

This action is in 2 parts and the 'fact' ruling came 26SEP 2023 *. So while Judge Engoron may try to 'ensure' his not yet decided damages awards are not subject to appeal, the 'fact' issue is a fait accompli. No do overs. 

 

And if the 'facts' are overturned on appeal, it may not make any difference what the damages are.

 

* https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23991872/ny-ruling-on-trump-business-fraud.pdf

Seems like there could be a one-week delay in delivery of Judge Engoron's assessment of Trump's liability.

 

Trump LLC monitor Barbara Jones' report has generated some interest with both the Judge and Trump and is the likely cause of the delay.

Possibly Judge Engoron will be incorporating a larger fine from the monitor's findings.

This mainly stems from Trump's tax avoidance scheme from the $334M loan default for his Chicago Tower Project, circa 2010.

It looks like Weisselberg will die in jail to protect Trump.

More on Weisselberg, how it might impact Trump and Judge Engoron's verdict.
 

 

How many people lie on the witness stand to protect Donald Trump?

This is supposed to be a big week for judges to make decisions about Trump's crimes. But, I don't expect much, I think the big stuff will happen after the Super Bowl.

The verdict is rumored to be released on Friday.

 

 

Donald Trump's Fraud Case in New York Is Far From Over | Opinion

Updated Feb 12, 2024 at 9:39 AM EST

 

By Thomas G. Moukawsher
Retired Judge and Author

 

The New York Supreme Court decision in former President Donald Trump's fraud trial will show that American justice is real—and real slow.

Yes, Justice Arthur Engoron's decision will show that no one is above the law.

 

But the case is about to show us something else too—how needless delays will mean that Trump will face no consequences until long after the election. Trump is a master at manipulating the legal system and will doubtless seek to jam its gears in the hope that his election will somehow save him.

Of course, Trump has a right to file an appeal of the Justice's ruling. Review on appeal is fundamental to a fair handling of his case. But it can easily take many years. Here's how.

 

Nominally, Trump has 30 days from the entry of the judgment against him to appeal the ruling. But Trump also has 30 days to ask Engoron to reconsider his ruling. In some courts, you can file multiple motions like these in a series. They stop the clock ticking on the deadline to appeal. A skillful lawyer can drag this pre-appeal process out for months and sometimes years. They start by filing a motion and then seeking extended time to file their briefs. They encourage lawyers for the other side to seek extra time. They seek permission to file additional briefs. They drag their feet about arguing the motions. They insist they should call witnesses even when the trial is over. They might reopen attacks on the judge, the witnesses, or the government, claiming new information and the like. A judge must be mighty fleet of foot to stamp out all these little fires lit under his ruling. Finally, after months or years, the appeal gets filed.

Friday is supposed to be E-day.

 

My guess is damages at $379 million, a little extra penalty for bad behavior in court.

 

I doubt that Trump will ever pay in his lifetime, and his estate will be worthless.

   What joke was that ?

Trump did write :

 

"My warmest condolences to the family and many friends of Congressman Elijah Cummings,” he wrote online. “I got to see first hand the strength, passion and wisdom of this highly respected political leader. His work and voice on so many fronts will be very hard, if not impossible, to replace!”

Someone had to write that for him (he is incapable of genuine feelings as well as that sort of writing) after he made jokes about Rep Cummings at one of his endless rallies, as the comment was (obviously) seen as cold. Perhaps there's a tape of it, but you can search for that. His other cold comments appear in various books written by former staffers. trump is arguably---as many psychiatrists have stated---a psychopath, incapable of empathy.

 

He also made jokes about Paul Pelosi, an elderly man smashed on the head with a hammer by one of trump's goobers.

“I will stand up to crazy Nancy Pelosi who ruined San Francisco... How's her husband doing by the way? Anybody know?” Mr Trump said at the fall convention of the California Republican Party in Anaheim on Friday.

 

“And she's against building a wall [on] our border even though she has a wall around her house, which obviously didn't do a very good job,” he added to laughter in the room.

I suspect even the Donor Class on the Right is going to stop writing checks to the RNC, since trump and his DiL plan on siphoning off the entire war chest to pay for what trump cannot afford. The RNC might as well put E Jean Carroll and Judge Engoron/AG James on their campaign fundraising letters.

 

What will be fun to watch is how trump is going to service the SIVs he has through Deutsche Bank, as the lenders are Russian Oligarchs. I would bet some of them are right now saying "Stand Down & Stand Back" to Wagner Group knuckledraggers.

The cult is totally captured by their false messiah.
