She crossed all her ‘ t’s’ and dotted all those ‘ i’s’.

New York Attorney General Letitia James stepped up and presented a scathing, over two hundred page complaint against Donald Trump and his children – Don Jr, Ivanka and Eric.

Donald Trump and his family business violated several state criminal laws and also "plausibly" broke federal criminal laws, said the New York attorney general, Letitia James. She is seeking to bar the Trumps from ever running a business in the state again. https://t.co/UgBv1V8tSM pic.twitter.com/c4eLfbQWB2

They key point:

For 20 years, Donald Trump and his family enriched themselves through “numerous acts of fraud and misrepresentations,” New York Attorney General Letitia James alleges in a new lawsuit that accuses the Trumps of “grossly” inflating the former president’s net worth by billions of dollars and cheating lenders and others with false and misleading financial statements.

The civil lawsuit, filed Wednesday in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, seeks a $250 million judgment and a prohibition on any of the Trumps leading a company in the state of New York.

“We found that Mr, Trump, his children, and the corporation used more than 200 false asset valuations over a ten year period,” James said at a press conference announcing the charges.

200!
She has evidence on 200!

Our suit against Donald Trump and the Trump Org alleges a years-long financial fraud scheme.

Here’s how Trump generated false and misleading values on his annual financial statements, which were then used to pay lower taxes, guarantee loans, and get better insurance rates:

➡️Ignoring legal restrictions on properties.

At Trump Park Ave, he valued 12 rent-stabilized units at market rate, inflating the value by 65 times.

At Mar-a-Lago, he ignored development restrictions to claim the property was worth $739 million.

Its value is about $75 million.

➡️Claiming he had cash available to him that he did not.  
 
For several years, Trump reported money in a partnership as liquid cash. In truth, he was a minority owner with no control of the money.

Actions have consequences. Along with referring the criminal violations we uncovered to the U.S. Department of Justice, my office is seeking to:

— NY AG James (@NewYorkStateAG) September 21, 2022

– Ban Donald Trump, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric from serving as an officer or director in any New York business.

– Ban Trump and the Trump Org from acquiring real estate in NY for at least 5 years.

As Attorney General of New York, I made a promise to ensure the rule of law applies equally to everyone, even a former President of the United States. 
 
No one is above the law.

— NY AG James (@NewYorkStateAG) September 21, 2022

Yes, this is only a civil case….but, she said herself that her office made a CRIMINAL REFERRAL

Actions have consequences. We're seeking to:

➡️Make Trump pay $250 million.

➡️Ban the Trumps from running NY businesses for good.

➡️Ban Trump and Trump Org from buying commercial real estate in NY for 5 yrs.

➡️We're making a criminal referral to the U.S. Dept of Justice.

DeutscheBank is probably cooperating because Trump can't just put down his property is worth $700 million dollars, he needs receipts. If DeutscheBank provided Trump fake receipts via fake appraisals, they're in big time trouble too.

Letitia James used Trump’s boasts against him. It was devastating. https://t.co/5Swk7x7TKm

Some truly rotten and horrendously criminal things obviously went down with SDNY, Bill Barr, Giuliani, and others while Trump was in office. What James just did might end up being our best chance at seeing those dirty secrets finally uncovered.

NY AG Trump case is NOT about "subjective" real estate valuations. These are not inflations of 10%. These are inflations of 1,000% or 3,300%.

If you have a house, and the appraiser says it's worth $300,000, and you tell banks it's worth $3,000,000 or $10,000,000, it's FRAUD.

— Tristan Snell (@TristanSnell) September 21, 2022

She's referencing massively false and misleading statements for loans — BY DEUTSCHE BANK. And she's referencing Westchester. She says they've uncovered over 200 examples of false valuations on statements.
This is going to send Trump off the rails even further than he already is.

NY AG James: Trump falsely claimed his own triplex in Trump Tower was worth $327 million — three times its actual value. "To this date, no apartment in New York City has ever sold for close to that amount." Trump claimed the apartment was 30,000 sq. ft. It was actually 11,000.

The NY Attorney General is citing Fmr Pres. Trump's (unprecedented) invocation of the 5th Amendment right not to incriminate himself in crimes as part of the evidence suggesting he committed crimes and knows he did.

If Letitia James wins in this lawsuit, she will have ended the reign of the Trump business empire in New York.
