Wait a minute. Are you saying that the state has no interest in my stating my home’s value at $10 million for the purposes of a loan?

Just for purposes of clarification, you as an individual applying for a mortgage or related loan secured by real property, are subject to conventional bank fraud statutes and likely would be indicted by the feds for lying in a loan application, especially by submitting phony financial statements.

These commercial lending scenarios are a bit different in that there's not a "standard loan application" package, the lenders are more sophisticated, ostensibly, than home mortgage lenders, etc.  So, this is why Trump hasn't been charged with federal bank fraud.

There are some counts in James' petition that attempt to allege this type of more conventional fraud:  Trump falsified, bank relied, bank damaged.  James didn't move for summary judgment on these counts, and, reading between the lines, even Engoron may be skeptical of the viability of these counts, depending on proof at trial.

Section 63(12) encompasses more than just 'bank fraud" or common-law fraud.  In that sense, it is somewhat unusual and I'm not sure analogizing it to conventional bank fraud or common-law fraud is particularly useful.  In fact, Trump and his lawyers continue to attempt to analyze/analogize the case to common-law or bank fraud despite the pretty clear law established by New York courts that 63(12) is much broader than that.

I appreciate your comments, Twice.  I'm guessing that most of the time that sort of approach is used against some sort of Ponzi scheme or other situations where "civilians" or other consumers have made complaints to the AG seeking relief.

I also note that this ruling was simply made upon the pleadings.  It would appear that there is currently no evidence before the court, certainly none that has been subjected to cross examination or rebuttal.

No monetary penalty has been assessed, so there's no "receivership for the benefit of creditors" here to satisfy that penalty.  And, in the usual course of things, whatever monetary penalty is involved subsequently will first be subject to voluntary payment before any extreme creditor remedies are invoked (forced sales of assets, etc.).

 

 

...yet.

Right?

Monetary penalties coming forthwith, in a separate ruling/hearing/whatever the fuck, right?

12. Whenever any person shall engage in repeated fraudulent or illegal acts or otherwise demonstrate persistent fraud or illegality in the carrying on, conducting or transaction of business, the attorney general may apply, in the name of the people of the state of New York, to the supreme court of the state of New York, on notice of five days, for an order enjoining the continuance of such business activity or of any fraudulent or illegal acts, directing restitution and damages and, in an appropriate case, cancelling any certificate filed under and by virtue of the provisions of section four hundred forty of the former penal law   3 or section one hundred thirty of the general business law, and the court may award the relief applied for or so much thereof as it may deem proper.  The word “fraud” or “fraudulent” as used herein shall include any device, scheme or artifice to defraud and any deception, misrepresentation, concealment, suppression, false pretense, false promise or unconscionable contractual provisions.  The term “persistent fraud” or “illegality” as used herein shall include continuance or carrying on of any fraudulent or illegal act or conduct.  The term “repeated” as used herein shall include repetition of any separate and distinct fraudulent or illegal act, or conduct which affects more than one person.  Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, all monies recovered or obtained under this subdivision by a state agency or state official or employee acting in their official capacity shall be subject to subdivision eleven of section four of the state finance law.

In connection with any such application, the attorney general is authorized to take proof and make a determination of the relevant facts and to issue subpoenas in accordance with the civil practice law and rules.  Such authorization shall not abate or terminate by reason of any action or proceeding brought by the attorney general under this section.

There are issues remaining for trial, one of which is the amount of penalty.  Trial presumably starts Monday.

Incidentally, the trial judge's ruling here seems to essentially moot the Article 78 petition for writ of mandamus that Trump filed last week, which would seem to mean that the trial proceeds on Monday.

Unless I misunderstood, the Legal AF folks were saying that in 10 days both parties have to submit three options for receivership, to independently manage the property while preparations for restitution (i.e. state foreclosure and auction) are made after the civil penalties phase of the trial is over; additionally because of the state licensing removal, even if anything is left over after the forced sales (my guess is there won't be), everything will still need to be liquidated.  Bottom line, not only is he done in New York, so are the sons, and everything business related is placed into forced liquidation.  He's always grifted off a shell game of properties, not any more.  
Now they also said that given the severity of this judgment, it should be expected that a stay will be granted on this for judicial review.  While waiting some more makes me anxious, I get that.  However, after reviewing the judge's finding, they both expect appeals to be unsuccessful; and that's coming from 2 lawyers with significant experience in New York law.

They only briefly touched on this to the post I listened to, but they did mention 2 things.  I'm not gonna get this entirely right because this isn't my field and it's from memory.  Basically, it can get an immediate appeal with one judge or be advanced to a 5 person panel of judges.  I got the impression that they felt it was better if it went ahead to the five person because it sort of skips a step, and in theory it would leave no where else to go.  New York law has a different set of steps and appeals processes, one that I am not familiar with.  In any event, they were both pretty convinced that any appeal will fail and quickly because there isn't really anything of legal merit to dispute.  

Essentially, Trump's "legal" argument is that his "brand" value overrides actual appraisals, in some cases up to 700%.  The other base argument his attorneys are trying to make is that the state has no right to clawback the money, despite the fraud, because the banks were eventually made whole (probably not true with Trump, but whatever when it comes to legal filings).  The problem with this is of course if you don't punish for kicking the can down the road sort of fraud you are essentially allowing ponzi schemes to operate.  So if I understand this right (admittedly a big if), on one hand his lawyers are arguing no fraud because of Trumps imaginary "brand" value, and then on the other had they are saying, well even if it is fraud you can't take the money.  Lastly, he has some sort of disclosure statement he puts out that basically says in the fine print that all his numbers are bullshit, and let the investor/banker/whoever be ware.  The judge tore that shit completely apart, you can't disclose that you are or potentially are engaged in fraud in the fine print and somehow have that protect you.

What possible defense can there be for overstating the square footage of your residence by 3x resulting in ~$200mm in overinflated value used to get a loan? Especially when the "mistake" comes from someone who is supposed to be one of the most savvy real estate investors of all time? AND the actual square footage was public information that was stated in the condo offering documents. You really think think there is a defense to be mounted to stating in a signed/dated financial statement that your penthouse is 30,000 sq ft when it's actually 10,996? This isn't fake or ginned up evidence, it's all coming from Trump Org's own documentation. And this is only one egregious example from the court documents submitted by the NY AG.

THERE'S BEEN NO EVIDENCE OFFERED UP THAT TRUMP DID ANYTHING WRONG!!!!!!!111!!!!! But yea, all of this will just fall apart upon cross examination. GTFOHWTMFBS

JFC, you are a stupid mother fucker. Summary judgment requires admissible evidence and is a high standard for judgment to be entered without trial. The fact that summary judgment was entered means that not only was there admissible evidence in the record, it was so strong and irrefutable that a trial was deemed unnecessary. It's the complete opposite of what you're implying. Not only was there extensive evidence, trump and his rag tag team of shitty lawyers had no plausible defense. I also read that it was entered prior to a bench trial, meaning that the case would have been tried to the judge anyway without a jury. It means he waived the right to a jury trial. But keep "just asking questions," lol.

Well, I think what's happening to the now-banned entities is simply dissolution.  As we know, that can be done rather painlessly on a voluntary basis.  You're just shutting down a corporation/LLC for whatever reasons.

But this is INVOLUNTARY, court-ordered dissolution.  And, as such, a receiver is appointed, not to sell off assets for the benefit of creditors, but to supervise the dissolution and ending of business of the entity, making sure taxes are paid, creditors are taken care of, etc.  And when I say "creditors are taken care of," I don't really mean paid off, just that the obligations are transferred to the new entit(ies).

So, this is going to be a colossal and expensive pain in the ass, but it's not a liquidation of Trumpco assets or anything.

I do imagine that this judgment, and the associated ordered dissolutions would probably trigger loan covenants entitling many lenders to foreclose.  But, as you note, that would probably not be a wise thing for lenders to do, as it rarely is in big commercial lending scenarios.

I don't follow you here. A fundamental part of the process of dissolving any business entity is protecting creditors. Usually they're just paid, but I believe reserves can be established to protect them if they're not paid immediately. 

Why would the state of New York allow Trump Fraud Org 2 LLC, a NY LLC, assign its liabilities to Trump Fraud Org 2 LLC, a FL LLC? Could it even require the new FL LLC to assume those liabilities?

That's my thought too. There's no need to embellish this shit, it's plenty fraudulent all on its own.

More examples of blatant fraud that no reasonable person could ever consider an honest mistake:

Quote

Another example, according to the OAG, concerns Trump’s golf course in Scotland. The Trump Organization purchased the property in 2006 for $12.6 million. Trump’s 2014 financial statement valued the property at more than $435 million—a return of nearly 3500% in eight years. Given that no cache of oil was discovered on the property in the interim, it is unsurprising that the OAG alleges that some underhanded accounting was at work.

According to Trump’s financial statements, the Trump Organization had received planning permission in 2008 for “a residential village consisting of 950 holiday homes and 500 single family residences and 36 golf villas.” Only the 500 single-family residences would be available for individual purchase—the rest were to be short-term rental properties. According to a 2017 appraisal commissioned by the Trump Organization, 557 private homes would result in a net present value profit of £16–19 million ($18–21.5 million). Yet the undeveloped land was valued at more than ten times that amount in Trump’s financial statements.

Even when they actually had an appraisal instead of just vibes Trump still couldn't use a plausible value.

I mean you are correct, all of the obligations of the dissolved entity must be satisfied, but that doesn't necessarily mean that assets are liquidated for that purpose.  An executory obligation can be assigned, presumably with creditor consent.

ETA:  Sure, creditors with liquidated, currently due debts must be paid off, but things like leases, mortgages, notes can be assigned to the successor business.  And, I think the receiver's/New York judiciaries main concern is that the successor entity not be registered to do business in NY (or, possibly, registered to do business in NY, but not controlled by Trump).
