Trump ordered to pay nearly 355 million in NY fraud case.

Not of this world
You do not seem to understand. In 2016 you had the independent vote. They were fooled once, They were not fooled in 2020. And you should be following politics right now. The George Santos replacement polls showed that it was going to be a very close race in New York for his old seat. That district voted Republican for Santos. They saw who was responsible for there not being a solution to the border problem. As a result there was a big swing for the Democrats.
You're talking about New York again. A Republican being elected there is an anomaly. In NY, the person is running for office needs to be gay, and lie about everything, or simply be a democrat.

You should check your sources before you make silly claims. Here is a map that shows the representatives by party. It is much closer than you think that it is:

Currently there are 16 Democrats and ten Republicans.

Only if success=fraud in your opinion.
Once again, it was shown that without doubt, from the evidence that Trump's team supplied that he committed fraudy.

You are aware of the building in which he tripled the square footage. Are you aware of how he lied using Mar a Lago?

These banks you're referring to aren't exactly small banks.
Size doesn't matter in banking or boinking.

(Thanx for setting me up for that.)
Do you think they just take a person's word for what something is worth before issuing a loan and agreeing on terms, especially when tens of millions of dollars are involved?
I think there must've been a corrupt relationship
between Trump & banking officers. It's the only
explanation for bankers entirely ignoring their
normal due dilligence.
Are you going to assume that these banks didn't do their own homework first?
I don't assume it.
I deduced it.

Have you ever taken out a commercial loan?

LMAO! You can't support your claim because it is not based upon the law.
It's based on the law because fraud requires a victim, as shown from Black's law dictionary, and the doctrine of contra proferentem. Both Trump and the banks could have benefitted from the deal, and given the fact that the state brought the case, not the banks, this is probably the case.

Not my problem that you don't know what a zero sum game is.
See above.

But as I said. The US is not under "Common Law". There is a good reason that we are now under Statute Law. The link that I mentioned brings this up early:

"Common Law Fraud

The instant action is not a garden-variety common law fraud case. Common law fraud (also known as “misrepresentation”) has five elements: (1) A material statement; (2) falsity; (3) knowledge of the falsity (“scienter”); (4) justifiable reliance; and (5) damages. See, e.g., Kerusa Co. LLC v W10Z/515 Real Estate Ltd. Partnership, 12 NY3d 236, 242 (2009) (“[T]he elements of common law fraud” are “a false representation . . . in relation to a material fact; scienter; reliance; and injury.”). Alleging the elements is easy; proving them is difficult. Is the statement one of fact or opinion? Material according to what standard? Knowledge demonstrated how? Justifiable subjectively or objectively? In mid-twentieth century New York, to judge by contemporary press reports and judicial opinions, fraudsters were having a field day.

Executive Law Section 63(12)

Along came Executive Law § 63(12), which began life as Laws of 1956, Chapter 592, “An act to amend the executive law, in relation to cancellation of registration of doing business under an assumed name or as partners for repeated fraudulent or illegal acts.” Jacob Javits, then the Attorney General of the State of New York (the position that Attorney General James now occupies), pushed for the bill, as did the Better Business Bureau of New York City. See Senate Bill Jacket, February 21, 1956. State Comptroller Arthur Levitt asked, “Why not grant the Attorney General authority to enjoin anyone from continuing in a business activity if such person has been guilty of frequent fraudulent dealings.” The preponderance of the evidence standard, the one used in almost all civil cases would apply. Comptroller Levitt noted: “In a suit for an injunction, there is no need to prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt, as in a criminal case—a mere preponderance of evidence would be sufficient.” Id. In the subsequent six decades, the State has toughened the statute. In Laws of 1965, Chapter 666, the definitions of the words “fraud” and “fraudulent” were expanded to include “any device, scheme or artifice to defraud and any deception, misrepresentation, concealment, false pretence [sic], false promise or unconscionable contractual provisions.” The statute casts a wide net.

“The general grant of power to the Attorney General under section 63(12) has traditionally been his most potent.” 3 Fordham Urb. L. J. 491, 502 (1975).

Executive Law § 63(12) now reads as follows:

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… 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 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."

From the link to the judge's descision.

A common sovereign citizen mistake. I hope that you are not one of them. Black's Law Dictionary has no legal standing. It is a tool that lawyers, judges, and lawmakers use. But it is just a guide. What matters is the law. One of the reasons that Sov Cits lose all of the time in court is because they make the mistake of trying to use Black's Law as a book of laws. They get laughed at.

And yet he's the most successful real estate developer in New York. Not bad for a complete failure, eh?
I accused his supporters of failing to understand
how real estate lending works. Read better.

As for Trump, his success was due to inheriting
a fortune to start with. Then to commit fraud
in building it up. And now to lose much of it
as the sexually assaulted chickens come home
to roost.
