  3. In Judge Engoron’s #SummaryJudgement, the order for dissolution of all Trump businesses, it discusses disgorgement — which is legalese for what they have to pay for their “ill-gotten gains.”

    #Trump atty, #Kise objected to the #Mccarty testimony saying the calculations aren’t "ill-gotten gains" for the purposes of disgorgement w/o testimony banks wouldn't authorize the loans w/accurate SFCs.

    (Besides the amt they’ll pay, the trial determines if they get barred from operating in NY)

  5. #NYAG shows footnote 21 from Judge #Engoron’s #SummaryJudgement re #Lostlnterest.

    It’s from the section ordering the #dissolution of #Trump's corporate entities.

    “The subject loans made the banks lots of money; but the fraudulent SFCs cost the banks lots of money. The less collateral for a loan, the riskier it is, & a first principal of loan accounting is that as risk rises, so do interest rates. Thus, accurate SFCs would have allowed the lenders to make even more money than they did.”

  7. More on the #stay & #dismissal filing:

    #Engoron's #SummaryJudgement #fraud ruling canceled Trump's #NY #business licenses & ordered #dissolution of defendants’ NY #LLCs due to persistent fraud.

    The filing to stay called the ruling a "grave miscarriage of justice."

    "The far-reaching implications of its unprecedented directives are of staggering consequence to Appellants.”

    The filing called the move "corporate death sentences,” & said that Engoron did not have the authority.

  9. From last week’s #SummaryJudgement ruling on the #fact that #Trump is #liable for committing #fraud:

    "Exacerbating defendants' obstreperous conduct is their continued reliance on bogus arguments, in papers & oral argument... That is a fantasy world, not the real world."

  13. #Defense #Attorneys should take note of the following #statement and file for #SummaryJudgement as the #students are no longer #enrolled in #publicschools making most of the #issues raised in the #lawsuit #moot.

    The only remaining issue to be decided is are these homophobic parents entitled to public funds to privately educate their children, over their #FrivolousClaim that not being able to #OptOut of #classroom #lessons they don't like somehow infringes on their #1stAmendment rights (1/2)
