Judge has ruled that Donald Trump committed fraud for years while building the real estate empire that catapulted him to fame and the White House.

Judge Arthur Engoron, ruling Tuesday in a civil lawsuit brought by New York’s attorney general, found that the former president and his company deceived banks, insurers and others by massively overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth on paperwork used in making deals and securing financing.

    More just cause and effect. Commit obvious financial crimes on paper for years, you might get caught.

      Yeah, and get caught doing enough crimes, you might get punished.

      I doubt he’ll ever see prison though, or be forced to forfeit his ill gotten gains—hence, karma is fucking bullshit.

      He’s a thief, a liar, a con man, a rapist, and a fucking traitor. With what he’s done to America and Americans alone, there’s no “karmic” outcome that would suffice to balance the scale opposite this disgusting piece of shit.
