"Within days, Donald Trump could potentially have his sprawling real estate business empire ordered ‘dissolved’ for repeated misrepresentations on financial statements to lenders, adding him to a short list of scam marketers, con artists and others who have been hit with the ultimate punishment for violating New York’s powerful anti-fraud law,” the AP reports.

“An Associated Press analysis of nearly 70 years of civil cases under the law showed that such a penalty has only been imposed a dozen previous times, and Trump’s case stands apart in a significant way: It’s the only big business found that was threatened with a shutdown without a showing of obvious victims and major losses.”

    As far as lying to the banks its the equivalent of grabbing a box of lobster tails at the grocery store and ringing it up as bananas at the self checkout. Then when busted being like “What I paid something, its not like I just walked outta the store with them” Sorry there dollarama mussolini, thats called theft.
