Current Events > Trump changes his NY business addresses to Florida; Letitia James wants to block

New York Attorney General Letitia James is asking a judge to block Donald Trump from changing his business address from New York to Florida, arguing that his executives "carry out the business activities" of the Trump Organization at Manhattan's Trump Tower.
In a Thursday letter, James urged Judge Arthur Engoron to "reject Defendants' attempt to change the business address of the six entity Defendants to Florida as the record establishes those entities are located in Trump Tower at 725 5th Avenue in New York, the office building in which the executives who carry out the business activities of those entities work."
Trump owes New York state almost $454 million, including interest, after a civil fraud trial on charges that he inflated his wealth on financial statements to deceive banks, insurers and others. Engoron handed down a nearly $355 million verdict last Friday, but that figure goes up $87,502 every day that the former president doesn't cover the bill. James has said she plans to seize some of Trump's assets if he fails to pay.
"If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets," James told ABC News on Thursday.
On Wednesday, Trump's attorneys had asked Engoron to delay enforcing the multi-million dollar judgment against him for a month, accusing James of an "unseemly rush" by asking the judge to sign off on a proposal judgment just days after the ruling. Trump has 30 days from when a judgment is entered to post bond and appeal.
His legal team also told the court that several of the addresses for Trump in James' proposed judgment were incorrect and included "proper address" for those entities, all of which were in Florida. The addresses listed included the Mar-a-Lago estate, the Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter and the Trump National Doral Miami.
Engoron's decision not only hit Trump with a $355 million verdict, plus interest but also barred him from acting as an officer of a New York business for three years.
Should Trump appeal the judgment, which he has signaled he plans to do, it is likely to be a costly fight. Even before he files an appeal, Trump would have to deposit the full amount he's been ordered to pay into a court account under New York law. Due to the size of the award, he's expected to obtain a bond, which would have him paying somewhere in the $400 million range even before he appeals.

"No no, I can't be in trouble for New York businesses. These businesses were in Florida the entire time!"

Replying cuz I can't see the thread (No messages were found on this page.)

GameFAQs has been falling apart for a few days now. No idea why, but it came after an extended read only mode so they probably changed something on the back-end that didn't work as well as they hoped

But, yknow, in a normal functioning society if you tried this, Florida would just respect New York's decision and bar Trump from being an officer of those moved businesses.

But, yknow, Florida

Did James also prevent the NRA from leaving NY a few years back? Or was that another AG that blocked their move?

They can move there but it's not as simple as "I declare... Bankruptcy!" And they would still owe all the money.

They should allow him to move only if he moves trump tower. Not buy a building and name it trump tower, not build a new trump tower, disassemble trump tower and reassemble it in Florida.

I'm saying nobody should have been surprised. It's been common knowledge that one of the outcomes of that case could be that his business license would be stripped by the state. Any business would be making plans to find a different state to move to because it would take time to get all the paperwork filed. The alternative would have been doing nothing, having the state strip him of his business license, and then having to go through the process of moving somewhere else while also dealing with the fact that your businesses have to shut down in that timeperiod.

^Imagine posting that and thinking it was serious or meaningful.

Why don't you go back to trying to claim suicide squad is getting low ratings because people think it's too woke. That seems more your lane.

Didnt read your post because you have nothing meaningful to say.

I didn't. It's entirely possible James was well aware this was going to happen, but if so I would have expected some sort of request to the judge at the beginning of the trial freezing any sort of asset move until after the trial had concluded. Since asset freezing is a pretty common order to request I guess I interpreted this request being reactionary vs previously proposed as being surprise, but I could easily be wrong. Whether she knew or not doesn't change the ruling in any way though.

Everything you will ever say or think is wrong.

Where did you read that asset freezing was "pretty common" in civil trials against businesses/business owners? I can think of lots of reasons she wouldn't pursue this before the trial started (and I'm not a lawyer).

James is going to block this.

That won't stop him from owing money

Fuck that guy

This is literally shit 5 year olds do.

Good thing Republicans don't have the capability to feel shame, their fucking heads would be exploding from this.
