Judge fines Trump more than $300 million, bars from running businesses in New York for three years
The former president denied any wrongdoing, calling the case "a fraud on me."
You're viewing a single thread.
Why is it that people who commit fraud for less than $10,000 get jail for decades but commit fraud for millions and you only lose your ability to do business in a single state for 3 years?
Because 300m fine and lawyers?
I guarantee you Trump would pay way more than $300m if it meant dodging 10 years in prison.
Just because he has money (debatable) shouldn't mean he should get a pass where other people wouldn't.
Agreed, but I'm so used to see rich people never get shafted in any way that this is a pleasant surprise. Luckily for us, Trump had the bright idea to fuck over bankers instead of poor people
That's the thing, he fucked over rich people, you can fuck over all the poor people you want and it's fine, but fuck over one rich dude with the slightest pull and you're done, that's what happend to that FTX guy, he fucked over rich dudes and now he's going to jail.
I agree money shouldn't give you a pass, since that would signify that justice is determined by money.
"would"? I want to live in your planet.
Yes. That's my point.

If he could get the money. Considering the amount of grifting going on in the Trumpyverse just to pay some of the legal bills, I have a hard time believing that Trump would be able to come up with 300m without selling properties.
For 35 years all his funding has come from Russia. Eric said so. $300m not a problem. Kompromat.
Which he'll overvalue! Honestly, considering the trials I'm not sure who would even buy anything from him for a serious amount of money. Might have to be at fire sale prices to get people to bite.
There is a property he owns around me, and I didn't know he owned it, but the first time i saw it I literally said "oh that looks like something that Trump would own". And it was.
It's the most ugly gory looking building in the world. It looks like the sort of thing that an african dictator would build, I cannot see anyone else wanting it.
Example of a similar crime of someone spending time in jail, please.
