    For anyone else wondering but who doesn’t want to click:

    Manhattan prosecutors had looked into bringing criminal charges over the same conduct but declined to do so

    If not successfully appealed, the order would strip Trump of his authority to make strategic and financial decisions over some of his key properties in the state.

    So again, the worst punishment for the rich is having a small portion of their ill-gotten gains taken away. The people of Manhattan need to get on their prosecutor’s cases and get some criminal charges going.

      Rich person commits fraud = slap on the wrist, and a telling off
