It's Official: Trump Appeals $355 Million Ruling in New York Civil Fraud Case -- February 26, 2024

It makes a HUGE difference on how the case will be looked at by the courts.

The 8th applies to punishments (fines, etc.), disgorgement (restitution based on illegal activity) are two very different things.



Disgorgement isn't a fine. It's the removal of ill-gotten gains

What ill gotten gains? All the banks did their due dilligence and were paid making a profit on the loans granted to Trump and his Corporations. Additionally, there were no victims in the case.
 
A Republican just told me that lenders actually perform appraisals on properties of interest, such as those Trump used as leverage to secure loans.

Speaking as a left Democrat, that tad bit of information is more than my bobbing brain can take. Left news tricked us into thinking Trump himself did the appraisals.

No intelligent person was tricked.

Some thing Timbs will be controlling, but it isn't as it's a criminal case.

In Liu the court clearly indicated that disgorgement of illegally obtained profits is not the same. It's the removal of ill-gotten gains.

The eighth amendment to the constitution forbids excessive fines and forfeitures in civil cases. The SCOTUS already ruled (9-0) on this in Timbs vs Indiana (2019). The state cannot assess excessive fines.


Trump will win on that alone.


The judge constructed the ruling in order to avoid that. Man, you're stupid.
 
Like the authors of Plessey tried to construct their ruling to avoid the 14th amendment?
If trump is the multi billionaire he says he is, $350 million is a drop in a bucket. And he was banned from running his grifting enterprise for only 3 years. For a young man like Trump, it's hardly a lifetime.

In Liu, the court also said the money had to be repaid to the investors.

It's not restitution if the State keeps the money- it's just a fine.

"The Court issued its decision on June 22, 2020. In an 8–1 decision, the Court ruled that courts can award for disgorgement in security fraud cases and affirmed the implied stance from Kokesh but limited them to the net profits of the conduct from the fraudulent activity. Also, the decision required those funds to be paid back to the defrauded investors.[6] Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote for the majority, which was joined by all but Justice Clarence Thomas.[7] Sotomayor affirmed in her decision that "Congress prohibited the SEC from seeking an equitable remedy in excess of a defendant’s net profits from wrongdoing," under 15 U.S.C. § 78u(d)(5).[8] She further wrote "To avoid transforming an equitable remedy into a punitive sanction, courts restricted the remedy to an individual wrongdoer's net profits to be awarded for victims."[9]

 
Correct. Such experts would toast FPOTUS#45's inflated numbers as completely out to lunch.

Non knower not knowing but always chirping.
Most of the land mass and improvements were not considered. . This was to establish “The Club” as the resource being evaluated. Its called”deliberation to not achieve value” it was outlawed over redlining. The ruling had a targeted diminished value and manipulated accordingly.
Although experts may say Trumps evaluation was high or may be asked nothing about it, they will 100% guaranteed declare the 18 mill artificially low and contrived. Ser how people who Know address this situation ?
 
I’ll gotten gains, that means money gained from better than average interest rates from banks?

So, are they going to take this money and return it to the banks? If he owes back taxes and fines, that’s one thing, but doubtful those equate to over 400 million, so if this judgement is on behalf of the banks..then should they money go to them? Instead, the state of New York gets to keep it, because they sued trump on behalf of banks who didn’t request a lawsuit and were not defrauded? (They agreed to the terms of the loans).
 
Where were they?

Also an appeal is not a retrial.
See they testify at appeal Your “ where were they” further shows you are ignorant of the process and matter at hand. Nobody needed them until judge nut case came up with the contrived bullshit.
