But an Associated Press analysis of nearly 70 years of similar cases showed Trump’s case stands apart: It’s the only big business found that was threatened with a shutdown without a showing of obvious victims and major losses. “This sets a horrible precedent,” said Adam Leitman Bailey, a New York real estate lawyer who once sued a Trump condo building. But AP’s review of nearly 150 cases reported in legal databases found that in the dozen cases calling for “dissolution,” victims and losses were key factors. The New York attorney general who filed the lawsuit, Letitia James, said that helped the ex-president receive lower interest rates. In fact, the bank made its own estimates of Trump’s personal wealth, at times lopping billions from Trump’s figures, and still decided to lend to him.

“This is a basically a death penalty for a business,” said Columbia University law professor Eric Talley. Bank officials called to testify couldn’t say for sure if Trump’s personal statement of worth had any impact on the rates. His nonprofit Trump Foundation agreed to shut down in 2018 over allegations he misused funds for political and business interests. The Deutsche unit making the Trump business loans wasn’t the typical lending unit, but its private wealth division. A POTENTIAL COMPROMISETo be sure, the attorney general’s office has argued that there are larger issues than victim losses at play in Trump's case.

Minneapolis CNN —The New York civil fraud trial of former President Donald Trump carries extremely high stakes for the self-proclaimed business mogul. “It’s between severe and seismic” as to the effects on Trump’s businesses, Thomas told CNN on Monday. Early last month, an appeals court judge paused the dissolution process for the duration of the ongoing $250 million fraud trial. A New York judge fined Donald Trump's family business the maximum penalty of $1.6 million for committing tax fraud. “[Trump] has largely been absent from the New York market for a long time,” he said.
