Not sure how many of these are covered by this ruling:

Assets Owned by the Trump Organization

[YGIFS 19,452]

This would explain why Eric attempted to file a de novo charter on non-domiciled fintech-based bank earlier this summer.  They're going to try to "bank themselves."  Unfortunately, they didn't get it filed with the OCC before this ruling came down.  So I'm guessing, it'll be done through another pass-thru.  The Jerky Boys predicted all of this...

Dude, I have laughed more at myself in the last year on here than anybody.  I pos rep almost every joke at my expense.  I just get sensitive at the bitching about me coming back as another handle (not directed at you, other cunts who've posted my real name and other shit), like it was a masterful crime.  There was a whole thread devoted to it in Board Help for like three months.  I can laugh it off, except the real name part.  I just get salty because it's a fine line between jokes at my expense (totally fine) and then people probing around and discussing whey I came back on other threads that refer to the thread that brought me back.  If that makes sense.  But guys like Bearschlong, Twicehorn, Macanudo, et. al.  I could take or leave this place, as it could with me, but those guys helped me get outta my comfort zone to take care of some shit and I love them for it.

Tiffanys silence is understandable.  But even cokedup Don, Jr. has gotten eerily quiet lately.  Eric is probably still struggling with the same revolving door at Trump Tower, so his absence makes sense.  Ivanka and Jared have been incredibly effective at getting off the grid, I almost tip my hat to them.  And Melania and Barron are nowhere to be seen.  I'm sure his supporters will say, "Trump is an old-school, Gary Cooper type.  He'd never drag his family through all of this.  He'll go it alone and spare them the drama!"  But one by one, his inner circle and family are abandoning him.  They're seen with him in public less and less.  Who the fuck is on that big 757 with him?  No idea.  

But now they're gonna start getting Trump Organization C-level/mid-level folks to start folding.  People who at least had the justification in the mirror every morning of, "I know he's not totally on the up-and-up and I didn't like him as President.  But I'm just a senior analyst or investor relations specialist or SVP for marketing.  I did my job and did it above board."  To carry out this level of fraud, it wasn't just Trump and the boys...many others in that building were in on it down to the initial underwriting teams.  Rudy or Flynn might take one for Team Trump to continue on with millions in grifting but Doug and Linda in Trump Org.'s accounting department don't have an out.  They either lose licenses, jobs, and financial assets or they cooperate.  The worst part is they won't be able to afford decent counsel.  They'll be seen as collaborating with AG James and they'll spend the rest of their lives looking over their shoulders.  The horrors that await some of these poor fuckers.

Anyway, I'm skimming these asset mis-statements.  This is fucking insane.  I am not being hyperbolic at all.  Beau Vine and I used to joke on here that this could make for a couple of lectures in B-school on corporate workout deals.  BUt this is a fucking semester-long course in workouts.  There's drug cartels looking at this shit like, "Wait, you can do that for 30 years to obfuscate financial information and you don't even have to murder children?  Da fuh?  PACO!  GET IN HERE!"

a bit more fun from NYT:

 

Quote

 

Justice Engoron’s decision narrows the issues that will be heard at trial, deciding that the core of Ms. James’s case was valid. It represents a major blow to Mr. Trump, whose lawyers had sought to persuade the judge to throw out many claims against the former president.

In his order, Justice Engoron wrote scathingly about Mr. Trump’s defenses, saying that the former president and the other defendants, including his two adult sons and his company, ignored reality when it suited their business needs. “In defendants’ world,” he wrote, “rent-regulated apartments are worth the same as unregulated apartments; restricted land is worth the same as unrestricted land; restrictions can evaporate into thin air.”

“That is a fantasy world, not the real world,” he added.

The judge also levied sanctions on Mr. Trump’s lawyers for making arguments that he previously rejected. He ordered each to pay $7,500, noting that he had previously warned them that the arguments in question bordered on being frivolous.

Repeating them was “indefensible,” Justice Engoron wrote.

 

Quote

 

But Justice Engoron, with whom Mr. Trump’s lawyers have tangled at every turn, mocked those arguments.

“The documents do not say what they say; that there is no such thing as ‘objective’ value,” the judge wrote, summarizing his take on their arguments, and adding, “Essentially, the court should not believe its own eyes.”

In a footnote, he added a quote from the movie “Duck Soup” uttered by Chico Marx: “Well, who ya gonna believe, me or your own eyes?”

You know deep down inside that before Zillow, Eric spent an hour on the MLS Miami site to find real estate comps, before his personal assistant assured him that "Sir, that is not $59,000,000 for an estate called Lionel Messi on the Intercoastal of Miami.  You're on the Inter-Miami CF site for their best player who gets paid $59mm/year sir.  He's not a house, he's a soccer player.  It's Major League Soccer, not Multiple Listing Services.  Let me queue up Zillow for you.  No, they don't speak Argentinian there, Sir.  They speak Spanish like everybody else in SE Florida.  What?  No, he's not a fucking resort.  He's a Argentine footballer.  Never mind.  Do you want pudding or not?"

Today, someone needs to introduce Eric to the following term relevant in appraisal of real property: "stigma."

Appraiser: "Nice house.  I'll have to run some other traps, but looks like it's worth about $250k in this neighborhood"

"Yeah, it is nice.  And it has all new carpets, because we had to replace them all after Jeffrey Dahmer gutted his victims on the old ones and then cooked their flesh in the kitchen. We kept that stove, though -- it's a good gas range, and Jeffrey said it had great temperature control."

Appraiser: "Okay.  So...I'm going to lower my appraised value to tree fiddy now."

Again, I gotta give Commander Dipshit credit.  Literally just received a Summary Judgement indicating he unlawfully misstated financial assets and valuations in order to defraud legitimate banks.  So what does he do? Publicly states his $18mm valuation is easily worth 100x that amount as a basis for invalidating the accusation that he mis-represents his assets.  

Now, MAGA apologists will come forward and say there's a difference between mis-stating to the IRS, to a bank, and then to the general public via media/marketing channels.  Fine, I'll entertain that notion.  Before bed tonight, go to your mailbox.  In it, you will find 2 or 3 marketing mail pieces from various female realtors with soft lighting and a popped collar indicating they are experts in your area.  on the other side will be homes they are currently listing to show you their sales expertise.  The home price will be listed as $1,800,000.  May sell for a bit more, may sell for a bit less.  What they won't do is put in print, "F/S: $1,800,000 which could easily be worth 100x that amount."  Because that's called fraud and Linda would lose her license by mass distributing that through the mail.  At the very worst, she'd fuck over every banking and title relationship she ever had.

But what does MAGA nation do?  They send him more money.
