This is not a case that involves sales...this is a case that involves valuations (and there is a difference). The value of anything that has just gone through a sales transaction is easy and very cut and dried. There is proof of the value. This case is about setting values of things to be used as collateral, and under the NY law used making repeated and consistent misrepresentations, even if no party was harmed, is all that is necessary.Neo » 03 Oct 2023, 10:53 am » wrote: ↑ Why would anyone do business in NYC? Would think something speculative like property value would allow for some degree of promotion, of exaggeration. What is sales if not telling customers they can't live without your product and the product you currently have is ****? Do they allow used car sales in NYC?
There are LOTS of similar laws... MOST of which are NEVER used, because they are HAIR BRAINED, and serve no purpose except to HARASS someone who NOT Guilty. What you say MAY be correct... I'm not an attorney... HOWEVER...ConsRule » 03 Oct 2023, 10:43 am » wrote: ↑ I understand what you are saying and I agree with you. However (as it was explained on the news) the parts I highlighted in red ARE NOT NECESSARY for there to be a crime under the NY law used in this case. There doesn't even need to be an intent to defraud.
Also, while the part highlighted in green is also true...under the NY law used in this case that IS NOT a defense...it is completely irrelevant to the pertinent law.
Basically, this law is a "We don't like you so we are going to charge you with a crime for which there is no realistic defense, get a conviction, seize much of your business and fine the hell out of you" law.
This is NOT a federal case, it is a state case using a very strangely written (and rarely used) law so virtually all the typical defenses/processes you are accustomed to are "N/A". Lastly, Trump will not win this case. The finding of guilt has already been handed down by the judge in this case...what is taking place now is basically the penalty phase. Probably the best Trump can hope for is it being overturned on appeal or finding something in the law that violates the US Constitution.
I believe, in the court of public opinion, a large majority of people don't give a **** about what is happening to Trump. They are tired hearing about him and are taking the position he brought this on himself because of his ego and non-stop bluster. If the Trump family is removed from the equation, you may be spot on.ConservativeWave » 03 Oct 2023, 11:07 am » wrote: ↑
I believe the in the COURT of Public Opinion, America is beginning to see CLEARLY that THIS is Part of a Witch Hunt, by a WEAPONIZED Federal Government... and that a determination of GUILT is being handed down by the AMERICAN PEOPLE... AS WE SPEAK... in VARIOUS opinion Polls, the Supreme Courts ruling refusing to ban Trump from running for President, and SOON, the American People will have the opportunity to SPEAK CLEARLY, and LOUDLY at the BALLOT Box...
IT IS TIME for this DARK PERIOD of our History to be BROUGHT into the LIGHT... to be EXERCISED, and PURGED... OTHERWISE, we are LOSING this Nation !!
If THAT were true. then the Republican Party would be finding SOMEONE out of those running against Trump, that would be doing MUCH better than what they are.... as it is Trump is at over 55% and rising, and the nearest competitor is DeSantis at around 14%... and falling ! ...AND THAT is with EVERYTHING that the democrats have been trying to throw at him in the process.ConsRule » 03 Oct 2023, 11:27 am » wrote: ↑ I believe, in the court of public opinion, a large majority of people don't give a **** about what is happening to Trump.

Ramaswamy 6.4%
Pence 3.4%
Christie 2.8%
Scott 2.2%
Burgum 0.8%

I think EITHER DeSantis, or Haley (Rahmswanny is just too much of an unknown quantity)... depending on who he "meshes" better, and/or has the better relationship, with... EITHER could be a GREAT VP, and might be a shoe in as the NEXT President !
