The verdict in Donald Trump’s $370m fraud trial will be coming later than expected, with a decision expected in early to mid-February, a New York court spokesperson said on Thursday.
The New York judge Arthur Engoron had initially said he would aim to deliver a verdict on the potential $370m fine by 31 January. “I will do my best” to meet the deadline, he said on 11 January after the trial’s closing arguments.
Engoron had found Trump guilty of fraud – inflating the value of his assets on financial documents – in a pre-trial ruling in late September. The trial was over whether Trump and his company had committed fraud with intent, which is punishable with a hefty fine. The New York attorney general’s office, which brought the suit against Trump, is asking for $370m in disgorgement and to ban Trump from doing business in New York.
remember folks, if you steal 100$, you can do jail time. this guy stole 370 million from taxpayers, and wont to a day of jail time.

Just like the Sublime song: “Not doing time, the livings easy”
that’s because he’s rich now, and rich people obviously don’t have to face cosnequences.
Well no. Thats just how much his fine is for committing tax fraud. Someone can absolutely correct me if I’m wrong but I’m not sure it’s public knowledge how much he defrauded the IRS out of. At least I can’t find anything definitive myself.
i dont think the specific number matters here, does it? its a lot. can we agree its a lot?
