  1. The #StateAttorneyGeneral has primary enforcement authority to make sure businesses comply with state laws applicable to them. The key state statute #LetitiaJames alleged #Trump et al violated is NY Executive Law 63(12). This law creates penalties for repeated fraudulent acts or demonstrations of persistent fraud. The statute defines fraud precisely yet capaciously. 3/

  2. The #NY #StateAttorneyGeneral #LetitiaJames brought this suit against the #TrumpOrganization, its component corporate entities, and its key personnel, including #DonaldTrump, #EricTrump, #DonJr, and others. The gist of the suit: due to misconduct by entities and the people who manage them, the entities should lose their right to operate in New York. The state gives out business licenses on the condition of lawful conduct; act unlawfully, lose the licenses. 2/
