Judge rules Donald Trump defrauded banks, insurers while building real estate empire
what are the consequences?
Ya know, that actually accounts for three of the four paragraphs of the article.
I mean, I count about 24 "paragraphs" (many are just single sentences), but you're right, at least 3 of them discuss consequences, which unfortunately just amount to "Trump loses 'control' of his fraud businesses."
Given that his name is still on the building, and he "controls" them about as much as the average person "controls" their cat, I doubt anything comes of this.
That sounds like the absolute minimum punishment for fraud.
It was a civil case. The district attorney chose not to pursue criminal charges. The prosecutor in the case quit in outrage. That prosecutor then went on NPR and laid it the case in an interview. It was fascinating. Basically they were about to charge Trump, but before they could the district attorney lost the election and the new guy didn't want to charge Trump with a case that he thought wasn't a 100% guarantee to win.
