For the record, "this fraud" is "mortgage fraud," specifically getting a mortgage while claiming more than one primary residence. It's worth clicking through if you want details, but the clickbait headline of the article annoys me. (I lay the blame for this on rawstory, not on OP for faithfully transcribing it.)
The first lender I spoke with when buying a house told me to lie on my application and tell the bank the unliveable property I cosigned on with my brother was my primary residence. She said it would be fine but it wasn't worth taking the risk so I walked. Same thing these folks did except if I had been caught I wouldn't have the $$ to pay fines.
Turns out if you make a rule but don't enforce then the folks who can take advantage of your lack of enforcement will break the law.
Every accusation is a confession from this guy.
So he was the one eating the dogs?
Yep. Watching his reaction to a stenographer read a sentence from that shooter's manifesto was instructive.
Remember, he IS a rapist. He was not in any way "vindicated". Just because NY has a narrower definition of rape does not change what he did.
HAY! That's SERIAL rapist.
Know your presidents.

He is still at large.
So very, very large.
Came here to basically comment this
I keep imagining a world where if you declare something illegal (when it's not) and you are found to have done it, it amounts to the courts treating it as though it actually is illegal, but just for the accuser. I feel like it would clean up a lot of frivolous lawsuits and political bullies.
It would probably cause a lot more problems though, and likely wouldn't be applied fairly. Like all laws.
At this point, it'd be easier to count the laws he hasn't broken.
Public intoxication is probably the only one he hasn't done because he's a tea totaler
Do you think he has fucked a porcupine in Florida, because that is a law there.
If he hasn't yet, I'm sure RFKJr has him covered.
Personally, I think all the child raping should disqualify him from freedom.
Because of course.
this fraud
Local Lemmy user answers to clickbait with this comment , upvote to see what happened!
Nono, he can't have committed fraud. Fraud is when the other guy wins.
Like you need any sort of probe to determine a trump committed fraud. That's literally all that family can do
another headline I'd expect to see on The Onion lmao
