    No, his organization was. His family business. The symbol of his wealth. Which, apparently, was built on fraudulent means. Much like a gangster.

    Soooo - you would be quite happy to walk into a bank with an overinflated asset claim on a loan? You would do that yourself yes?

    And he was turned down for a casino licence in Sydney Aus back in the day because of “too many mafia connections”

    He might have fooled a lot of Americans but he didn’t fool us……:p

    1 do you have any evidence of corruption by Engoron?

    2 he did not deny a jury trial. Trump didn’t ask for one.

    3 he did not “decide” the property was worth 18 million. He referenced the assessment at that value, but did not determine that was the value of the property.

    4 Mar a Lago has legal restrictions on use that other properties in the area don’t. Those restrictions severely restrict its value.

    His fraud is catching up to him.

    Whenever Trump's lawyers sued for election fraud they had no evidence. Every public opinion survey in 2020 had Biden winning.

    There was no Jury because Trump did not Check the box requesting a jury trial. That point is ALL on him. In the very opening minutes of the Trial Engoron pointed this out and the Trump legal Team did not object.

    If you are going to whine abour sonething, at least whine using facts.

    Fraud is a crime.

    Trump has declared bankruptcy before - the banks got lucky this time - but just as someone who speeds in a car can't claim to be "innocent" because
    he didn't get in an accident, Trump can't declare himself innocent because - for once - he didn't declare bankruptcy. The law is the law.

    Refusal to allow a jury, charging Trump with bank fraud when the bank says it never happened, ignoring the statute of limitations, falsifying property values he knows nothing about, instituting his ignorant over the top penalty for a fraud case with no witnesses claiming to be defrauded, for starters

    Wrong again
    Trump lawyers didn’t forget to check a box on jury trial, Judge Engoron says
    https://www.legaldive.com/news/trum...a-box-on-jury-trial-judge-engoron-say/696385/

    • Donald Trump’s attorneys did not forget to check a box to request a jury trial in the Trump Organization fraud trial, New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron said this week in an effort to clear up misinformation about the high-profile case.
    • “We are having a non-jury trial because we are hearing a non-jury case,” Engoron said, according to Yahoo! News and ABC News reports. “It would have not helped to make a motion. Nobody forgot to check off a box.”


    And wrong yet again
    Engoron. being the idiot he is, claimed the he used Palm beaches tax assessment of 18 million not having the knowledge of why Palm Bch does that for hotels and commercial properties. They only asses the value of the club members annual payments, not the actual value of the property.


    And wrong again
    That property is 62,000 sq ft of ocean front on 17 acres. Mansions that are not ocean front on 2/3 and acre go for over 40 million.
    The most recent bare properties on that street go for 150 million an acre.
    Their are no restrictions on that property and you couldn't name them if you had too.

    No, Democrat corruption is what voters are seeing no matter how much cheese you put on it.

    Good, don't forget to save these with it
    Over 545,000 New Yorkers left the state in 2022 —headed for Florida, Texas and farther
    https://nypost.com/2023/10/24/news/over-545000-new-yorkers-left-the-state-in-2022-census-bureau/

    New Yorkers Are Moving to Florida in Droves
    https://www.newsweek.com/new-yorkers-moving-florida-droves-1851708

    Nearly third of New Yorkers want to move out, fed up with crime, housing costs, poor schools and more
    https://nypost.com/2023/04/12/nearl...ime-housing-costs-poor-schools-and-more-poll/

    And I saved the best one for last.
    The official claims of the New York Mayor too dumb to face reality and too dumb to know any better at the same time

    NYC mayor blames, in part, rat infestation on why people are leaving the Big Apple

    Too bad for you, but everything I said is correct.

    1 you have not presented evidence of corruption. You may believe Engoron was wrong, but that in itself was not evidence of corruption.

    2 I am correct. Trump did NOT ask for a jury trial. If you can show that he DID ask for a jury trial - in any way - go ahead and prove it. You can’t. Because he never asked for one.

    3 you are wrong again. Engoron did not determine the value of MaL to be 18 million. It was one of several figures he quoted, but he never determined that was the market value. If you say otherwise, quote the part of the judgment where he determined that as the market value.

    4 I’m correct again and you are wrong. You do not address the fact that there are restrictive covenants on the land that affect its value. Covenants by which the other properties that you consider as comparable are not bound.

    This judgment is legally sound. This is not Democrat corruption. It is trump being held accountable for his fraudulent business practices.

    Perhaps you can explain, then, why the population of NYC has undergone recent growth not seen since the year 2000…???

    https://www.macrotrends.net/cities/... area population of,a 0.1% increase from 2020.

    Why wasn't he tried via a criminal trial?

    But, it was Trump being sued, not his company.

    Selling cocaine is illegal. Applying for a loan is not illegal.

    The trial certainly was a conspiracy.

    There were no forensic audits done. That was Trump’s mistake.

    And applying for a loan in the state of NY using false data is. Seems exceedingly simple to me, but quite inconvenient for Trump and his followers.

    If I have the Mona Lisa painting to sell to you and have given you a letter produced by me saying it was the genuine Mona Lisa painting and you give me the going rate under the belief it is genuine but it is later found to be fake, has a crime been committed?
