Judge denies Trump's request to delay enforcement of $355M fraud case penalties

 

Just a few more weeks before "billionaire" Trump has to either pay or start losing his assets.

USA TODAY
Update 21 FEB 2024 5:09PM ET

 

But without a traditional victim in the fraud case, the appeals court has broad discretion to set a bond at perhaps a fraction of the total judgment.

 

If Trump asks to post less than the full judgment, ( Mark Zauderer, a senior partner at Dorf Nelson & Zauderer, a business law firm) said a five-judge panel will consider the request.

 

The panel will collect written arguments, giving Trump and attorney general's office each several days to file, and then typically reach a decision in about three weeks. The panel could set bond anywhere from zero to the full judgment.

 

“The court would have discretion," Zauderer said. “That would then stop enforcement while the appeal was pending.”

What is a "traditional victim"? Tax fraud cases are tried every day.

What is a "traditional victim"? Tax fraud cases are tried every day.

AP’s review of nearly 150 reported cases since New York’s “repeated fraud” (63(12))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.

This didn't happen. The fine was imposed because NY tax payers lost the amount of the fraud.

AP admits there were lots of cases they couldn't review. You're still harping on about victims. Read the articles that discuss the victims.

The trial court looks at it one way; an Appeals Court might look at it differently especially as to the kind of precedent the current Engoron ruling presents.

Trump's claim that there were no obvious victims, while not helpful for him when presented to Justice Arthur Engoron during the trial, could be a matter of concern for appellate judges.

"It is unusual, and that's one of the issues here," said white collar criminal defense attorney Paul DerOhannesian, who was not involved in the case. "We haven't really seen this type of proceeding before against a very large New York business."

An Associated Press analysis of nearly 70 years of civil cases under the (63(12)) 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.

Engoron’s decision last week spared Trump’s real estate empire from what the Republican front-runner deemed the “corporate death penalty,” reversing a prior ruling and opting to leave his company in business, albeit with severe restrictions including oversight from a court-appointed monitor.

 

 

This is from the post this morning from USA today yesterday:

 

But without a traditional victim in the fraud case, the appeals court has broad discretion to set a bond at perhaps a fraction of the total judgment.

 

And with that the cross-examination began 2 hours ago.

 

And here it ends.

There are victims of the fraud. The writer is confused because the State of NY served as plaintiff.

 

Like a murder case. There is no living victim, and the State represents the deceased. A convicted murderer doesn't get off because there is no "traditional" victim.
