2/ More from Bloomberg:
A New York appeals court struck down a $464 million fraud penalty against President Donald Trump and his company in a civil suit over his asset valuations, but upheld his liability in the case
3/ Via Brad Moss:
So he did break the law but the penalty was excessive. OK, adjust the penalty.
ADDED: Media reporters: Trump is still adjudicated criminally as a fraud and civilly as a fraud. Get your act together.
Zaneveliz@GottaLaff but how is it excessive? It is on par for a multibillionaire? The gov never cares if you can not afford the fine why now for someone who has stolen more than that from small businesses over the decades
GJ Groothedde 🇪🇺@GottaLaff It was once such a decent country.
@Eetschrijver Tell me about it
@GottaLaff I share your grief.
@Eetschrijver That's exactly what it is.
