curt- everything you said, I agree with. That's a very different subject than the post though. Is it "illegal" to lie on a job application? You could argue both ways. Does the company have the right to terminate your employment? Sure.
Most of the jobs I've had don't get axed by the application, they get axed by the background check/ clearance update. Getting into the federal government from college was a big one. The question "did you ever smoke weed?" they say no, and their social media shows them with hitting off a bong. Oops! they're gone as a security risk.
And to differ with your perspective, the victim is the company. You're not lying to the other people. You're lying to the company.
Regarding lying on loans. Given the number of loans in the US at pretty much any time since, say the 1970's, there is no LEA in the country that will touch a fraud unless the banks file. That's way too chickenshit to get into the bank's business.
Yet again, are you talking about "money laundering per. se? That's a different story. and different charges. Are they using the money for illicit purposes (such as a pyramid scheme and committing fraud on the investors)? That's a different story also.
AND you're "assuming" that banks don't have their own investigators that are paid to catch problems like this. That's why the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) was designed. Large financial institutions (meaning banks, casinos, real estate firms, etcetcetc) usually have their own people to catch this. Thusly, the SAR is born! The SAR is also a collective that also protects the banking system from scam artists that bank hop.
I know you're really trying to say that trumpster violated every law on the books, and that he needs to go under the jail. I think it's a stretch. At best. The bank got their money back. With interest. If you haven't got anything better than this, just give it up and look for something worthwhile.
If the dims were doing this to pedojoe, I'd say the same thing. If we're down to that chickenshit "justice" system, move to China, they're much freer.
To repeat what I’ve observed any number of times, there are no victims in New York’s hyper-politicized civil fraud case against Trump...After eleven weeks of trial, and still no victims, James upped the disgorgement ante to $370 million. ---Andrew McCarthy in the National Review
