- CNN's Laura Coates speaks with Kevin O'Leary, "Shark Tank" judge and Chairman of O'Leary Ventures, about the $355 million judgment against former President Donald Trump. #CNN #News
The comments section is testament to how goofy CNN viewers are
So true, it's mind boggling
Most are supporting Kevin. There are a few saying “victimless crime is a cop out” but “getting Trump” is more important than anything NY has to offer real estate development or it’s people
They are brainwashed...the problem is, they don't realize how dumb they are. That is a problem...lol
@@Adam444Tv yeah I see that. When I initially posted this the top comments were all negative towards O’Leary but it looks like they’ve been drowned out now
BRAINWASHED they are.
Mr. O’Leary seems to be tacitly confessing to also committing corporate crimes. Hopefully someone will investigate him next 👍
He says he does all his crimes in Oklahoma
I swear that's all I heard as he spoke too
No wonder he got so worked up about this penalty
Watch from 3:30 to 4:45. If you believe this is a crime what he is describing there is something wrong with you. There is clearly something wrong with society for punishing people this way. These government monsters steal our tax money and use it to start wars, murder people, shove people in cages, come up with millions of laws, and you people side with them. It's shameful.It's time for the government to face accountability.
Nothing to worry about unless you have been committing fraud, and he definitely seems worried.
The state lost tax revenue. The banks were cheated into charging lower interest rates. So yes there are victims. The people are the victim.
And, Who are the Banks? Let me answer that one....WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE BANKS. F Outta here O'Leary.
Like he said it's a victimless crime and it common for banks and developers to haggle over value and in the end its up to the bank to decide not the state BTW the banks said they love Trump and looking forward to doing business with him again
The banks were not cheated.The banks completed their own due diligence and they concluded that everything was OK.Everyone was happy except the idiots with TDS.Thanks for you're input anyway.
Sounds like mr wonderful needs to be audited if he’s in your state fact is the people should demand it since he is in public promoting criminal activity
@@Youcanthandlethetruth435 My bank still does not believe you, can you come down and hand in this loan application with me.
They keep saying I singed the information was accurate and not made up.
They keep threatening I can be held accountable for lying on a loan application...
*I am listing the value of my house at 100x the value because I put in a nice pond.
I am astoundingly amazed that people are not even aware how crazy this judgement is.
Those were the first words oit of my mouth. It's almost embarrassing. Do people really think it is only 1%ers that do this? I was a mortgage loan officer and everyone I talked to gave me an inflated value of the home. Hence the reason banks pay inspectors to value it for them.
Coates love to make her CNN points by interrupting Kevin. SO disrespectful.
@@AMC-eq3jr that's because she is respected for 1000 reasons. 🤣🤣
I'm astoundingly amazed at how far and long Trumps frauds go
@@AMC-eq3jr
It’s an interview.
He isn’t supposed to blather for minutes hitting his talking points. He agreed to be interviewed
Not a Kevin soliloquy
Love how the rich think they don't have to obey rules. It's always a victimless crime until stuff like the 2008 stockmarket falls, then the tax payer is on the hook!
This is a great point!
He’s an idiot
Yup, the lenders don't end up making as much money, and as a result, their rates increase, and the little guy ends up paying the difference. Victimless, my ass.
As if O’Leary has data centers in the U.S lol😅
A crook and a thief who cares about America 😂
O’Leary is right that crooked investors will invest in places where they have less risk of being charged with their crimes. Perhaps some DA should take a look at his business records.
He’s another that has never been held accountable.
Drunk driving in a boat…
Yes, you’re right. They need to hold this dickhead accountable too!!!!
Do you really think that you get rich by playing by the rules!!!
This country was built on crime. The people in office are criminals and us little people are still broke trying to follow the rules thinking that one day we'll win the game.
Sorry to tell you but America is a criminal enterprise as long as you pay the MOB boss aka IRS you can get a head.
The laws and rules are to keep us on a lower level and consuming all of the goods and services the criminals provide! 😅
He's trying to tell you and this anchor knows the truth too but she has to follow the script
He's outing himself right here.
I would be very suspicious
O'Leary keeps on asking, "who lost money on this deal?". The AG made it clear: the people of NY because millions in taxes were not paid. O'Leary can say, with a straight face, that all real state developers are crooks, that inflating assets is a common occurrence. Until they get caught.
Banks and financial institutes lost millions in interest payments because they were tricked into giving Trump low interest loans for his falsely reported assets.
Yes, and on top of that, when one person gets to break the rules they get an unfair competitive advantage. Anyone who followed the rules and could not keep up with Trump could also be considered a victim.
Banks lost money on interest. Honest developers lost money on several deals.
😂 as if New York would spend tax dollars on its citizens in the first place....
If you think hes a crook that’s laughable. Look at your congress and say that
This is a problem for EVERYONE across the globe! I recently negotiated the valuation of MY HOUSE with the bank and I said my house was worth more to get a bigger loan! Am I going to be prosecuted for fraud because I negotiated and said my property is worth more?
This is really bad
you forgot that the bank looked into and agreed with it , then a 3rd party comes in and says nah
Prosecution, at this time, is only for those who ideologically oppose the globalist elitists on a grand scale. They won't come after us until they have effectively silenced their big enemies and have seized power.
This same man stated in another interview with her, that he feels like he's in Venezuela; eluding to targeted prosecutions of political opponents.
Exactly EVERYONE DOES IT😂
🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏👏
Who is the Victim in this case 😂
Mr. Wonderful is killing me. He is actually arguing that he and others should have the right to game the system as much as they want because it didn't hurt anyone and everyone does it. The ultra rich will just find a new medium to move money, stop the pity party, bro. Today, the building is a 10,000 square ft private unit, tomorrow it's 30 and commercial, for tax purposes. Don't complain when common people lie on federal tax claims and ppl loans if this is ok. Don't cherry-pick.
The system is not gamed. Everyone gets to play by the same rules. The difference is most people do not know the rules.
It's amazing b/c you are also a criminal.
How many times you have jaywalked or smoked or touched someone.
I guarantee that you lied on your resume or lied to get good grades.

Kevin is concerned he's not going to be able to continue to fleecing the public.
How does he do that
The one thing you can depend on, is that Trump cannot resist his addiction to making, "M O N E Y," any way he can!
His first question is always, "Where's my cut!"

Absolutely!
Lmao i know.. this guy is sweating bulets... WORRIED
We'll just wait till he runs for president... the double standard
We all know that the bankers caused the subprime mortgage financial crisis, the government had to stepped in to bail the out for their crimes. 10 millions people lost their homes. The question now is why they were not charged with crimes but Donald trump even when there's no victims.
Everyone here saying O’Leary is wrong has never bought or sold real estate. He is spot on.

Anyone asking who's next is usually someone concerned about being caught. Not a victimless crime, fraud affects everyone Kevin.

@@sassouusasoo3607so let's imprison all the investors?
@@Riley_roloif they behave like Orangesama, yeah!
@kissmyaxe531 pretty sure it was still a crime!
Is it me or is he still arguing overvaluing for purposes of collateral and undervaluing to reduce your tax bill? Why does he think uncollected taxes is a victimless crime?
because we schmucks are suppose to foot the bill, because WE lazy peasants are NOT pulling our weight....
Taxation is theft. Do you enjoy being a slave for 30% of your work hours? The government will send men with guns to throw you in prison if you don't give them their cut. Just like mobsters.
It wasn’t about taxes. It is a standard practice used by all buyers to get as much of the price of the property covered for the loan and not have to come up with as much to cover the rest. It is a standard. Now they are trying to tell other buyers who are now cautious not to worry because they will not go after them…what’s up. I hope all investors pull out because if they go after 1 they need to take them all down and suffer the consequences. There was no victim…no bank loss of funds no tax loss. It was nothing more than going after Trump.
@@Leonardo1963ify Then use the same appraised value for taxes as you are using for getting loans.
So, let’s just not hold “investors” accountable. Where’s that right wing, “Tough on crime” perspective?
Based on Mr. O'Leary's admission on this video the State of New York need to begin investigating Mr. O'Leary. He's pretty much saying that law breaking is rampant in the New York real estate business. Sound like he's speaking from a wealth of personal experience.
It is. All major players bolster their assets. This is nothing new

I believe most people would use an appraiser as opposed to made up projections (aka fiction) of their mind as to what a property is worth. If the lender did not agree with the appraiser, then maybe it would be time to find another lender. But if 2 or 3 lenders all come up with the same numbers, then maybe it would be time to find a new appraiser.
And your job in the lending industry is what? Do tell us what makes someone in that industry good at there job. Troll.@@ryanjones4877

Imagine the dishonesty of the rich. "There's no victim," "Who's next?" How about you all follow the law? You don't have anything to fear if you don't break the law.
They got rich by doing this crap. The general public is naive and believes in the rule of law. They just hire a legal team
They'd be the victims, because it would ruin their lifestyle, if they played by the rules.
The judge put it best when Trump said that same stupid "It's a Victimless Crime" crap. The judge leaned in and asked... A victimless what ?? Mr Trump

When the supposed bank that has been hurt by this fraud testifies in your behalf and says no damage was done we want to continue to do business and the judge still says no way, that's when you know you have a biased judge.

@@andrewkathe3471 how?
So, this fellow says EVERY business man does what Trump has done.
OK.
Time for a quick look over some of your books.
Getting cheaper insurance by making false declarations is NOT a victimless crime.
Seconded
Have a crisis, find out the taxpayer has to pay for their loss and make the equation: tax payer = no victim. Now you have learned the foundation of their business.
There may be the proclamation of buyer beware however, all the forms I've signed all have the clause the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge. Buyer beware doesn't apply.. banks don't care as long as they get their stipend. Unpaid taxes are another matter I'd say.
What is a false declaration?
Kevin O'Leary is saying everyone commits the crime so therefore the law is moot. It's kind of like speeding, right? But, you can still get a ticket for going 1 mile over the limit. And, you'll pay for it too.
Traffic experts always assume that the average speed driven on a given road will be 15% higher than the posted speed, and the cops generally look the other way
I'm sure the controlling tax authorities allow a similar fudge factor.
Trump did it on such a massive scale that it could not be ignored.
When one has no scruples whatsoever, the sky's the limit. He's just being brought back to earth.
Right! Also, the law is not going to be so concerned with just a few mph over, but someone going WAAAAY over the limit? That person needs a hefty fine, and once it's been proven he's got a pattern of such speeding and reckless driving? He needs his license revoked.
No cause speeding above the speed limit can cause accidents. No one lost money in this, he basically undervalued and overvalued valued his assets to make it advantageous for taxes and loans.
We all know that the bankers caused the subprime mortgage financial crisis, the government had to stepped in to bail the out for their crimes. 10 millions people lost their homes. The question now is why they were not charged with crimes but Donald trump even when there's no victims.

So, are you saying you support fraud?
@@krakken- What fraud? You still didn't understand what he said, He said that all entrepreneurs do this. And now because of this case, any entrepreneur can be fined.
@@MrDuglas72 It's not hard to grasp. All entrepreneurs don't do "this". They don't all lie about the facts of their assets. For example, if you say your apartment is 30,000 sq ft when it's 10,000 sq ft, that's not a difference of opinion, that's a lie. To obtain better interest rates on the basis of that lie is Fraud. Similarly, if you value property as worth $1 million because you say its residential, but its actually registered (and taxed) as commercial but worth half that value, then you've lied about the facts of the asset, and that's fraud. That's the sort of thing Trump was doing.
If all other "entrepreneurs" are doing that, then your markets are broken. But they're not doing that.

They do. Developers are the worst kind of greed.
The banks ask what your property is worth. Then they go and appraise the property and base their loan on that. Trump has a brand name that adds value. Something i do not have. This is a dangerous precedent.

@@WillSummers-yz5oo
How is Ttump’s “brand” worth anything?
His name has been removed from buildings all over the place.
The problem is that Trump paid back his investors
With interest!
So to paraphrase... a) NYC is bad for business if rich a-holes are not allowed to cheat without consequences and b) he is wondering if he is next, implying that he is already cheating in his businesses. Hope the authorities are paying attention and that he is indeed next.
Who was cheated? Reality doesn't just take a back seat because Trump's involved. This has gone way too far.
Man, you people are sad. Missing the forest through the tree's. If what Trump did was wrong, why is the bank getting away scott free? You people can't seem to answer that. Whats more is that we both know they will never go after the banks.
@@StodgyAyatollah Here are a couple: (1) shareholders of banks that have had to write off loans when Trump (or anyone else that did this) declared bankruptcy and (2) ordinary NYers that were cheated out of tax revenues. It fell on the middle and lower class to make up the difference. Kevin doesn't care, of course, because billionaires don't become billionaires without a very loose interpretation of laws.
You did not pay attention to any of this case.
Trump's company sought a loan, and negotiated with a bank to secure the loan. The loan was paid in full, with interest. Where's the fraud?
Trump was already fined $1M for this exact thing in 2022, and the woke AG asked the judge to increase it to $354M (which he did) because she and the judge have trump derangement syndrome and their goal is to ruin him as a person rather than enforce the law. "we're saving democracy by bankrupting our only major political opponent, for "crimes" that every single real estate developer does!"
She ran for AG in 2018 saying "she'll go after trump"... she has tried numerous times and this is the only one that stuck, and it juuuuust so happens to be right before the election... why did they wait until now if this was so vital and important a case? so clearly a misuse of the justice system. Judges and AG's shouldn't be reveling in the fact that they're attacking their most hated opponent in politics.... justice is supposed to be blind, and unbiased.
Laticia James just said "Trump wrote the art of the deal, but he perfected the art of the steal"... does that sound like an unbiased judge who is simply enforcing the law as it's written? Or is it a hateful, spiteful, angry woman who has TDS??
Really he’s like admitting I’m a crook right on television I swear to God no one has any kind of decency or honesty or morality. I wonder where we’re all gonna move to when they trash this place
There are about 50 fortune 500 companies in New York which i do not hear of being ask to pay $355 million.
Yet
That's because they're aligned with the corrupt NYC judicial system. Trump isn't.
It’s like driving and not going 10 over the speed limit; 15/20 and you’re looking for trouble. When in actuality, 1 mile over is it. Are we ALL pulled for 1 -5 - 9 - most aren’t. Now - start drifting lanes, no seat belt, on the cell, illegal tints, and see how fast you’re pulled. Kevin: “…EVERYONES going with the flow of traffic, why did I get pulled?” LEO: because you’re a dummy. That’s basically the judge’s take. They know they all inflate but this is beyond EGREGIOUS.
what Kevin is deliberately leaving out, is how New York City is the financial capital of the United States (if not the World) and home of WALL STREET, and is NOT GOING ANYWHERE. thus if he and the numerous OTHER "corrupt entities" want to leave...? or want to direct their investments elsewhere in the United States...? what you have to do is "call his bluff" and say fine go DO IT ALREADY...!!!
because i guarantee the VACUUM he and others create by their departure will simply be filled by any number of other Domestic and Multi-National entities who SEE AN OPPORTUNITY created by their absence. yeah so what's happening is, is that Kevin's GINORMOUS EGO is "blinding him" to the fact that at this late date in the History of Capitalism, is that he and his "merry band of thieves" are not remotely the ONLY the people on Planet Earth with Companies to run, and have Multi-Millions-Billions of Dollars ready to invest.

This is truly funny. "Did he just say " every real estate investor is doing it?" Perhaps NY should investigate him next.

Yes, every real estate developer in the country tries to get the best loan possible for their property. The banks have always been the ones to ultimately make the decision. Here a single state judge ( who knows nothing of luxury real estate ) is deciding
Yes, he did! Birds of a feather?!

@@juliec5309Who exactly were the victims of said fraud? All of the banks he used said they would absolutely do business with him again. You’ve probably never gotten a loan before have you? You obviously don’t know how it works.
😂😂😂 CNN was not expecting this reaction from Kevin O'Leary. Trump 2024 🎉
"Because everybody is committing the crime, means that it shouldn't be prosecuted."
Kevin O'Leary
Commit crimes as long as everyone makes money from the act. What about those (individuals and businesses) who'll potentially lose money from those crooked acts.
Everyone gets bribes... everyone knows everyone is corrupt because we're all corrupt 😂
I totally disagree. For starters, this isn't fraud. Does a judge have the right to tell you how much your home is worth? If someone approaches you to buy your home and you fix a price and the buyer eventually buys it. Would you be happy if a few years later you get slammed with a penalty for overstating its worth? Someone may look at that same property and value it at $1 but you believe it should be worth $10m, would it be right to be forced to sell at $1?
This judge used the valuation that was provided by the Trump Corporation! Trump valued his properties one way to banks (high, to get a better loan), and to the govt (low, to avoid paying taxes). This is the very definition of fraud, and is illegal in every state in this Union. O'Leary is pissed because him and his buddies won't be able to fleece people anymore...and he's shaking in his boots because he is guilty of the same fraud. You can't buy off a DA who wants to stop crime, a true believer. The same thing happened when NYC decided to stop organized crime rackets run by the mob. Just ask your boy Rudi "Drunken" Giuliani. He used to be a hard-nosed prosecutor sick of watching the mob terrorize his city, and now, in this grand tradition, we have another DA sick of watching developers commit fraud and flaunt the law in broad daylight. She said ENOUGH, and now the hucksters are terrified. And now maybe some of those limited resources will go to a small business owner instead of a huckster billionaire who couldn't give two craps about his fellow man. @@TitoTabz
BECAUSE EVERYONE IS COMMITING THE CRIME IT SHOULDN'T BE PROSECUTED. BUT BECAUSE ITS TRUMP, IT SHOULD BE PROSECUTED.

Not surprised liberals have no idea how loans work.
Rich guy falsifies docs intentionally - don't charge him. Common guy makes a honest mistake - prosecute him to the extent of the law. Wow Kevin Wow. I mean why have the laws in that case, just because no one got charged previously is a precedent ?
What did he falsify? If you fill out a mortgage application and put down what you think the property it worth, and it doesn't agree with the lender's appraisal value do they charge you with fraud? The lender has an obligation to protect themselves and assess risk. They NEVER take the borrower's word for it, this was even brought up in the case. This is quite a decision, NYC just further killed itself.
@skidmoda If you get an appraiser who appraises it at $10k, 1k sqft but you write $100k, 10k sqft - then yes ! You have falsified docs ! Read the verdict report !
nailed it
How about you charge neither and let the market decide who’s a winner and a loser? Over regulation is the downfall of America. I mean you can’t even collect rain water. Why do you think that is? Because regulation I created to keep power with a certain group of bureaucrats.

What do you mean? What the government is doing by stealing our tax dollars from our HARD WORK and using it for wars, murders, etc, and using it to find illegal immigrants--free housing, healthcare, etc. while we work is a slap in the face! Government are the real criminals!
Laura is a joke trying to downgrade the bs judgement!!! NICE JOB Kevin!!!
Investors should be asking "who's next". That's the whole idea of a deterrence. It's basically the definition of the word.
"Who's next" is how I felt as a nurse when I saw people dying because of they believe ex-Potus lies about covid
Good point, very good point!! I'm gonna steal that if you don't mind.✌️👍
They actually came out and said "don't worry, we're only fucking Trump"
Im the last three years, Border Patrol has had 336 known or suspected terrorists arrested between entry points in the southern border.
"Deterrence"
It was an obscure law that haden't been applied since the 1950's and a George Soros DA in a left leaning state of NY.
Literally the banks all made their money back from his investments, if his properties are "over valued" doesn't that mean he over paid in property taxes?
Mindless drones.
Kevin says it’s not about Trump, but he is talking about it like it’s an injustice. The trial was over several months. The valuations and devaluations and square footage changes were not just reasonable adjustments they were 3 or more times the valuation.
But the banks in which he got the money from approved it all and also DT paid the loans back , don't you get it!!!!
Ok he did no different than what all other businesses do in times of high demand. For example airport food prices are jacked up into the heavens because they know its a matter of convenience and if you want to eat you buy it. Should the state come in and the airport with gouging prices?
All of them are next. "We've been stealing for 75 years, you can't stop us now..." These thieves started to think fraud is normal
Ridiculous. Do you really think the banks aren't going to make their own evaluations before lending?
The part where he got burned was that he actually gave bad information to the bank's appraisers. It wasn't just the overall value it was also floor size and occupancy rates. Then of course they would go in the other direction when it came to taxes
if you lie to the banks, it's fraud. i hope that is easy enough for you to understand.
@@GerhardMack You're talking about the one error out of hundreds of thousands of pages of paperwork where a random apartment building sq/ft was listed as three times than what it was right? Trump wasn't indicted on that because there is no evidence it was anything other than a single random paperwork error. If you're going to indict someone for civil fraud you have to have a preponderance of the evidence that this is something they KNOWINGLY and with INTENT do often and repeatedly. A single instance with no evidence that it was done on purpose is simply not going to fly.
Trump was indicted for "inflating assets", which in legal terms has never been used before in a courtroom under these circumstances because it's so patently ridiculous.
In regards to taxes. You obviously have never owned a home. It's pretty common sense to boost the price as much as possible when your trying to show off the property, versus when the tax appraiser comes around, then you try to downplay the value as much as possible. Obviously don't lie about things. But if I know tax season is around the corner you can bet that I will wait until afterwards to fix that broken water heater or allow a new renter to occupy the place. It's called using common sense and trying to save yourself money where legally allowed.
@@geelangfordo3272 That's not what happened. No one got defrauded, period. Unless you wanna say that arguing for why you think your property should be worth "x" amount is suddenly illegal
@@geelangfordo3272 You have to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that Trump knowingly and with malicious intent ordered his floor of paper pushers to lie about sq/ft of a single condo. Which we simply don't have. And out of the millions of documents of paperwork that runs a real estate empire this is the only "beneficial" error we can find? That smells more like human error, especially if there is not a repeated pattern of this and it's the only instance we can find out of literally millions of documents.
The occupancy comment was Trump Jr on the stand for a mere five minutes in November 2023 where he was asked about the CURRENT occupancy rate of 40 Wall Street. He answered 90% occupancy. That's when prosecution pulls up a document with occupancy numbers from June of 2023 which is where the 77% occupancy comes from. I dunno know how much occupancy changes in 6 months, but I would argue that's a weak argument, especially since prosecution never bothered to cross examine him on current rates in November and not June.
In regards to the property being developed, referring to Aberdeenshire. Trump was seeking to build a golf course along with some residential buildings. In this particular county you have to get approval from an elected county council to build anything this large. The county council approved of Trump building 500 residential homes and a golf course. Now switch over to the loan with the bank. Here is some secret sauce in knowing the dealings with real estate development that both the banks and the real estate developer know. Both parties know that often times once the initial development is partly/fully built and it's good for the community, the county will approve for bigger development. Ergo when Trump's company in 2019 filled out an SFC, it listed the amount of residential homes that COULD potentially be built on this land. Basically an SFC is an argument to a bank on major developments saying "hey, here is the potential value we can have with this project if we make full use of the acreage, you should give us a good deal that way in the future if we potentially build more houses we'll continue to work with you."
Who decided that this common real estate lingo and paperwork constituted as fraud? Some judge who has zero experience in real estate and what its documents mean. The judge said and I quote that the DA "has demonstrated liability for the false valuation of Aberdeen as appears in the SFCs from 2014 to 2019."

@@truthwarrior2727 yeah the lockdowns were great. Our gas is the same as it was pre-covid, so I don't know why it's not the same in your area. Maybe you should check out your local or state government.
so true
Yeah, Trump fights the corruption in the government on behalf of the people and the corrupt government doesn't like it. Who would want a president like that? I want my taxes sent to the Ukraine, both sides of the Israel/ Gaza conflict, but not the US border, and inflation could be just a bit higher. I hate it when I get more for my dollar like I did under Trump. Just awful.
I remember during the height of covid and PPE loans were being handed out to help businesses actually harmed by the downturn. They were running out of these funds and reports of large businesses and people not actually in need were draining the systen, leaving nothing for those who these loans were created for.
O'Leary was on CNBC, which I was listening to on satellite radio in my over the road tractor trailer as I was going down the highway somewhere. About as middle class blue collar as it gets as I listen to what this millionaire/billionaire is about to spew next.
O'Leary said that it does not matter if
businesses in need were getting screwed over because the money was being grabbed by the big corporations. That it did not matter that businesses that were actually failing, ended up folding because the big boys who did not need the help took all the money. He said these big businesses have a "fiduciary obligation to their investors" to get all the money they can. I remember that quote distinctly. Nothing else and no one else mattered.
That's the kind of person Kevin O'Leary is. Us little people mean absolutely nothing to him and we mean nothing to Donald Trump either.
That's very enlightening. I didn't know O'Leary was such a weasel. I was impressed by his success as a Canadian. I should have suspected that like most, if not all, at the top he only got there by climbing up a pile of bodies. Your memory is impressive. Thanks.
@trudycolborne2371 I remembered that moment and that quote in particular because it was so heartless. He had zero empathy, and it really struck me in the moment as I, among thousands of other essential workers, were out there doing our part in a trying time. While simultaneously, my tax dollars were being gobbled up by greedy corporations and other wealthy people who didn't need it. Taking from others far less fortunate than them. I always found O'Leary abrasive and really disliked him after hearing those comments.

It's true, Trump is a train wreck and his sycophants are destroying democracy and killing the middle class.
The investors that don't cheat the system lost money Kevin! Banks lending to cheaters leaves less money available to lend out to others who don't cheat. Kevin knows that, he's a cheater or he wouldn't be worried about doing business in NEW YORK.
Also O'leary says there was no victims. LOL The Gov't is the victim; "we the people"" Trump inflated his assets and then deflated his assets during tax season. Money the Gov't would have collected had he not done so. The fraud is against the Gov't. the victim.

Inflating valuation isn't fraud. If you cam but/develop a building worth 5million and over time do renovation, you can now fix the price of the building at a higher price. The banks can verify that if you need to mortgage the building or use it as a collateral for loan, etc. How's that fraud??

That how you get a good loan. Not only that he paid along back with interest so he apparently the resources to pay them back that alone, I feel like it was not necessary to sue the former president, regardless of affiliation for something so small.
I also think regardless of politics, a person should not talk about, or mentioning suing, or being a pain in the butt hole as stated by the prosecutor. That’s just shows her bias, which is why I also think it’s wrong.
When it comes to taxes, Jeff Bezos, Elon, musk, millions of the rich and wealthy, always find ways to pay less in taxes. Most often did not. They never are charge. The reason why Donald Trump was charged was because he was a former president a Republican, who had the wrong political views in that state. I just wish instead of pertaining like politics, hasn’t to do it this is wrong. The crime was committed or not which I know we disagree on.

A little hyperbole is allowed in business. But saying your 10,000 sq. ft. apartment is 30,000 sq. ft. is not a "little." Telling the IRS Mar-a-Lago is worth $27M and then claiming it's worth $1B is not a "little". It's fraud. And if you're an investor who fears the NY government because you keep 3 sets of books - one for IRS, one for lenders, and one real one - then perhaps you should do business in another state.

When banks failed because of overvalued assets back in 2008, guess who picked up the tab to bail them out? The taxpayer. All of a sudden, capitalism went out of the window and all of a sudden 100% pure socialism (apparently) was required to save the day. The state stepped in to turn private sector debt into public sector debt and thereby protect an incompetent private sector that didn't have a clue about where its debt was and how much risk it was exposed to. Hence banks stopped lending to each other. All of us paid for that to avoid a banking collapse.
Let's remember that when banks take on excessive risk, you and I end up footing the bill. Not them. Nor the property developers that they service. We're told that they're too big to fail.
This sort of crime is not victimless. Taxpayers across the world are still victims of the last banking disaster. All of us have taken a massive hit to our public services, finances, taxes and quality of life to keep fat cats (like Trump and O'Leary) raking it in and giving them the conditions to do so.
Criminal behaviour is criminal behaviour. With so many little guys struggling but the 0.1% rolling in it, it's long overdue to hold common criminals (who have literally banked the proceeds of their crimes) to account.

Not trying to argue here but do you honestly think this has ANYthing to do with ‘respect to the law’? Taking your specific personal feelings of Trump outta the equation, does this actually seem like a case of simply righting a wrong regarding the value of property?
I would contend that simply looking at the date of the next election and the fact that he appears to be heading to a landslide victory for the position of arguably the highest ranking job in the world would absolutely suggest that foul play is afoot. If you look at it thru that lens combined with the insane penalty of $355 mil, then doesn’t it feel more like a political agenda much more than simply a case of ‘respecting the law’.
I totally get that it’s what you want and it makes you happy that he got that kind of punishment but that’s a totally different discussion. I’m talking about reviewing the facts with zero emotion or care for who it involves. And in that scope, does this legitimately feel like justice? If it does, well, I think this hill the country is sliding down is only gonna get steeper moving forward and that’s a scary thought 😩

If I falsify my business records and get caught, I have to answer that. It's tax evasion. It is time for all states to enforce lawful business accountability. Taxes might be less for all.
Oklahoma is trying to get some business though
There is tax and financial accounting are not the same. Market value is also different. This is not fraud. No one lost money, they made money from Trump. If you borrowed 80% of the equity on your house and repaid it on time, in full, would you be charged with fraud if you stated a market value on your application someone later challenged? This is exactly that.
No lost money, no damages, no complainants? How is this the largest penalty ever imposed?
the honest people who didn't lie to the banks are the victims. trumps fraud gave him an unfair advantage when applying for a loan. that money could have gone to help small businesses get started, or to help people buy a home, but instead it went to a fraud.
If you can’t do business without committing crimes, that makes you a criminal by trade. If you can’t perform the daily duties of the business without being a criminal, maybe don’t do crimes or business, Kevin.

@@SplashIt34 The NY DA prosecutes a hundred business fraud cases every year.
@@SplashIt34 How is fraud not a crime? 🤦🏻♀️
The guy is a crook. Granted real estate people have flexible cap rates, nobody should think they can vary their property valuations by 10x and get away with it.
There are industry norms that allow for speculative valuations but even those have limits! Sounds like fraud to me.
They overvalue their properties to the banks and then undervalue their properties to the tax assessors. Thats the fraud
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I can’t believe you are allowed to vote
That’s not 10x off by around 25%
cnn viewer's should be ashamed to have ever watched cnn😅😂
O'Leary is saying that all developers are committing fraud. It is just the way they do business. These criminals should not be held accountable.
No, O’Leary is saying only the AG and Judge, who are ignorant about business found fraud. Not a single witness testified that Trump committed any fraud. In fact, expert witnesses testified that he didn’t.
You folks are too ignorant to understand the ramifications of this case!
😵 I think you are confused pal. Rethink your ending statement.
Negotiations with a bank isn't fraud 😮
@@brianmartinez7530but saying your properties are worth less to the tax assessor than you say they are worth to the banks, then that is fraud. And that is what trump did. He defrauded the people of New York
@@brianmartinez7530it’s not a negotiation if he lies fool
Kevin, if you don't want to go to jail, don't commit crimes......for that reason, I'm out.
We all know that the bankers caused the subprime mortgage financial crisis, the government had to stepped in to bail the out for their crimes. 10 millions people lost their homes. The question now is why they were not charged with crimes but Donald trump even when there's no victims.
Do you have a business or are you into investing or own a house? If you do everyone pitch their property higher than normal period!!!!
What crimes are they committing? I own a house. The market on my house is about 700k, I would like to pitch it and try to sell it for about 720-750ish
I think my house is worth more and I want more, then I want to borrow more after to get a bigger house? Plz tell me what crime was committed, when everyone got paid, everyone was happy and no issues were there....
send the Biden crime family to jail
Here’s the crime… If you bought your house for 700k, and now, it’s appraised at 750k by a real appraiser, you are welcome to sell your house at that price. Or list it… However, you cannot tell the bank, the IRS, the FDIC, that your 700k house is worth 1.2Mil because you think your time and effort are worth that much. That’s called fraud, and it’s a serious crime. I own a trailer in the middle of nowhere because rich f*cks drove property values sky high. It’s okay, though. We have a Justice system for criminals like that; that’s the crime.
Insecurity is loud, confidence is quiet.
She is trying to Damage Control the situation for New York. And she is doing a pretty awful job
At least he's acknowledging that it was a crime.
If you are an honest investor, you have nothing to worry about. Are they worried about having to pay taxes finally?
They are terrified of that!
Honest investors! Good one 🤣😂
Yea there’s maybe 2 of those on the planet. Dude, remove the ignorant blinds, every single investor does this. Even the little guy with only 6 digits in the bank.
@@chrisguillen1495 he's a puppet lib, what do you expect.
@@chrisguillen1495 everyone who has ever borrowed against their own property according to these smooth brain folks
Kevin O'Leary has now exposed that the investment community is OK with committing crimes. Kevin would sing a very different tune if someone lied to HIM about how successful they were. If he invests in something, he wants to know the risk. The higher the risk, the higher the rate of return he expects. He would quickly sue someone for fraud if HIS money was on the line.
He is just lying when he tells you this is a victimless crime.
And how is this a victimless crime? Trump received money that could have gone to another citizen, thereby depriving that citizen her right to the same funds...funds that could go a long way of supporting her and her family.
this is banana republic tier stuff
If you're going 50 over the speed limit but don't hurt anyone, should it still be illegal?
what kind of point is this. Apples and Oranges.. and yeah. speed limit is about safety ... not fraud. THIS IS FRAUD. This is getting advantages in taxes by lying. This is about ELITES getting by with crap Ave. people and businesses cannot. TWO TIERED system Kevin and Trump have been gaming for years
Exactly. Could you defend yourself if a cop stopped you by saying another driver was doing 60?
Good comparison...............NOT
Should my renter be sued by Karen. Just because he lost his job but still keeps paying me rent on time?
Great comment 100% agreed.
So he is saying he needs a place where he can do crimes without any punishments.
Exactly. He's a damn crook and wears it proudly
Your comprehension needs adjustment.
@@seannguyen1866 how so?
Its called real estate. Move out of your parent's house.
He’s so rich he’s not even afraid to admit this shit on national tv
Victimless crime??? I'd say the victims are the small business owners who pay higher interest on their lines of credit because so much bank money is soaked up by speculative real estate deals. If this is how "everyone" in commercial real estate does it, then maybe there need to be a lot more prosecutions and that would change.
But the bank was paid off full plus interest, which means they now have more money to lend out to people. Follow me for more tips.
@@pgnandt with this crappy logic then , if banks were alllowed to lend anyone any amount they asked for , according to what any one was claiming they were able to repay , they would then profit unthinkable money to lend back,, haa ?
Trump paid over a $100M in interest. And more in taxes in a year than you and ur family will ever pay in a lifetime
Bruvf! Just use your brain cell! Banks don't take the word of the borrower, they do their independent valuation of the properties at stake.
O'leary says there was no victims. LOL The Gov't is the victim; "we the people"" Trump inflated his assets and then deflated his assets during tax season. Money the Gov't would have collected had he not done so. The fraud is against the Gov't. "the victim"
Who was victimized by Trump???? Nobody, just a political hit job............................
when shitty people cheat, the victims are those that follow the law.
So, what he's saying is that NY needs to prosecute MORE real estate folks?
Just a matter of time they won't have any business folks
Just watch New York become the same cesspit like it was in the 70s

@@mastakrafsta As long as there is money to be made, there will be business folks there. The ones who like to lie like Trump? Nope, and not a great loss either.
Kevin O'Leary is saying other investors are just as crooked as Trump. That is a stunning admission.

Agree
YOU TELLING ME THE BANK IS STUPID😅😅😅
If I were someone in charge of investigating shady business people, I would definitely look into that guy! What a creep.

Because he tells the truth? Good lord.
