@SQUEEKY2 We have discussed numerous times how this trial was a sham. It starts with the fact there is no victim. The banks were satisfied with the final valuation they used to approve the loans, the loans and interest were all paid back. The next problem is the judge ruling on the case before the trial ever even started. It is customary in civilized nations to allow the prosecution to present their evidence and the defendants their evidence before a verdict is reached. Imagine, for a moment, if you were arrested for murder and the judge ruled, before any trial started that you were guilty and the trial was just to see how guilty and what your punishment would be. Would you consider that a fair trial? Go ahead, try to justify it. Or better yet, just do what you always do and dodge it. The next sham is the calculation they used in trying to determine the penalty. Since there was no victim, trying to add interest into anything, or even a principle for that matter, is idiotic.
What these liberal activists just did is to tell every real estate developer that they can and likely will be taken through just the same sham because the Dems can. Great way for the state to get money, isn’t it? Accuse and punish with no victim, no crime and no trial? Wanna bet business flee NY state in droves and no one will move back in to fill the void?
As for boycotting, there are drivers all over refusing and now carriers are joining the boycott. Again, Letitia James and Judge Engoron just declared war on business.
