    Trump lawsuits

    Is the Orange Grimace on DataMerch yet? He's on the NY court website!

    https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nys...sultsPageNum=1

    As a person involved in finances, if we assume that he lied, I view this as really really bad. Will the right-wing podcasters shrug it off? When a merchant gets blacklisted from lending because he fudged a number, we accept it. But if Trump fudges numbers, should he be able to get away with it? How many underwriters would reject financing Trump, but are die-hard pro-Trump enthusiasts? Everyone has the benefit of innocent until proven guilty, so I'm curious from a forum of lending, what the optics are in your minds? Can Trump do no wrong, therefore a black liberal woman DA is automatically assumed to be 100% politically-driven in her quest? Curious to hear your thoughts.

    Also, interesting article. Axos Bank refi'ed Trump. They're also the bank that originates a ton of WBL deals and a lot of brokers have their accounts there. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...oney-rcna22068

    As Trump said "Why plead the 5th?? That's a coward move...."

    As Trump also said "Under the advice of counsel I will invoke my 5th Amendment as provided to me by the constitution" blah blah blah

    Cases like these go straight to plea bargains in due time. But as Trump's history shows, he drags that mf'er.

    Nothing worth keeping my eye on because no two sides can ever say the actual truth.

    She will lose this case and cost taxpayers millions of dollars, and she wont care because it is all political and will not cost her a penny .It is up to lenders to do their own due diligence and appraisals then come up with what they want to do .

    Fair point. Can you name a former president that wasn't a fraudster?

    Not to the extent that the Donald has committed. More people charged in his administration and more lawsuits pending for him far exceeds any former President in the history of our country. Look up the word Sociopath in the dictionary. You will see a picture of Donald Trump.

    Facts.

    This isn't a red or blue situation.

    The man knows how to cheat the system, but apparently he did it a little too much. So if he were to be caught red handed, with all the evidence in the world, will people still claim it to be a setup?

    I wont sit here and defend him. There are more than enough topics to dislike him about. Why pick one everyone else does as well? Doesn't make sense. Every president in my lifetime has been a criminal. Some just hide it better than others. A bank failing to do sufficient due diligence on assets they are collateralizing is probably the most minimal thing he has done wrong. Don't you do collateralized deals all day long? Is every client that you have ever gotten an amazing appraisal for a fraudster now too?

    Since everybody cheats, it's OK....just the big or stupid ones get caught.

    Actually you may not be far off the truth.

    The objective of business is to screw people and make a profit.

    That's the definition of capitalism.

    At no point did I say its OK. I just stated that there are way more egregious topics to point out relative to Trump. Seems like anyone in the industry thinking he did something so bad, is kind of the pot calling the kettle black.

    He wont answer any questions directly. It is all just deflection and redirection. Answering questions with questions. I don't care red/blue however the lack of self reflection or accountability blows my mind.

    I am not a Trump fan, however let a lender value my house for triple what its worth and I am damn sure cashing that check. Does that make me a fraudster or does that mean that the bank needs to reevaluate how they underwrite?

    RE: Trump Lawsuits

    IMHO it's another political witch hunt.

    A borrower can't just "over state the value" of real estate assets in order to get a larger loan.

    Banks don't just take a borrowers word for that. There's this little thing called performing due diligence and getting an arms length appraisal, no matter who you are.

    Hasn't anyone noticed that the dems have brought up countless accusations ever since he was elected in an "attempt to overthrow a duly elected president " - 4 years worth? All ending up as nothing?

    Before he was elected they kissed his ass. When he beat Hillary all of a sudden he was an enemy of the state.

    They're just trying to keep him from ever running for office again.

    I don't think he can run again. They succeeded in turning public opinion against him no matter whether any charges were true or not.

    But again IMHO this is all political male bovine excretion.

    No skin off my ass either way, or yours so who really gives a flying what - not?

    Um, a borrower can over state the value of their assets. And yes, Banks do take their word for it. This is coming from a bank loan originator for 5+ years who now is on the other side as an underwriter.

    Both Trump and the Bank can and should be held liable. However, the way our justice system works, nothing extreme is going to happen here.

    This is all a matter of KYC blowing up in the banks face and taking the Borrower's word. Due Diligence here for this caliber of transaction can somewhat slip through the cracks, just not drastic enough to warrant immediate regulatory red flags. With so many assets under this mans name, one cant sit there and evaluate them all for proper values when the borrower may have some sort of rapport.
