I didn't read the whole complaint, just a short summary of the accusations.
Attorney General James Sues Donald Trump for Years of Financial Fraud | New York State Attorney General (ny.gov)
I'm still trying to figure out if the banks/insurance companies are the ones that allegedly damaged but they chose not to bring suit can the state bring civil charges on their behalf?
If the suit prevails does the cash penalty get distributed to the banks/insurance companies or is the state planning to keep it? If companies suffered the damages shouldn't they be the ones who get the award?
Is the suit claiming the state of NY was the victim and suffered the damage?
Again, no lawyer here. Sounds pretty weak and petty to me especially since there are no parties claiming damage.

I'm thinking the crime here is that Deutsche Bank loaned Trump money, and the state of NY thinks they could have made more money than they did by loaning him money at a higher interest rate because of his stated net worth wasn't close enough to his actual worth. Trump could have also just gone down the street to Goldman Saks or Bank of America or any of a hundred banks and got a loan from them of which I'm sure he shopped. This is a BS lawsuit against a former president for no reason at all other than the current party doesn't like him and I hope the payback is hell because in addition to trying to take down a former president they have done a really, really crappy job with the economy and have tried to destroy our morals and way of life.Again, no lawyer here.

I'm not sure that's not the case. As was stated before - the evidence supplied to the AG probably came from the lenders and insurance companies. They may not have to bring suit or do anything but report damages to the AG. I would suspect that any damage, even a .001% interest rate benefit would check the box of "damages." Assuming that element would be required.
I'm not sure why this is the sticking point, I don't see how this even a debatable point. The defense in my opinion would certainly focus on intent as the get out of jail free card. No doubt trumps lawyers will blame the accountants and underlings and that trump was oblivious to the day to day aspects of loan and insurance procurement.
The flood of future lawsuits based on the reasons for the case against Trump will be keep the legal system under water for decades.I'm thinking the crime here is that Deutsche Bank loaned Trump money, and the state of NY thinks they could have made more money than they did by loaning him money at a higher interest rate because of his stated net worth wasn't close enough to his actual worth.

We'll get links next week showing the case is meritless. Like we're getting yesterday and today showing merit. In the end, it will be another dud.I doubt Trump's lawyers will ever have to prove anything. This will either get tossed or settled for less than what the estimated legal fees would be.

I mean, this is common right? Common practice and commonly prosecuted. Right???

Government has to keep him out of contention by any means necessary.
Wouldn't a bank put its charter at risk by not doing DD wrt loans? Should there not be consumer protection lawsuits against those banks?
Same for an insurance company's license to sell insurance in a state?
