      It wasn’t, the victims just can’t be named due to scope.

      The state serves as the people for the purpose of the lawsuit due to tax law. 450M is what he owes the state govt. not local bodies. He fucked over everyone else far harder with the dodges.

        i’ll name them: the People of the State of New York.

        see? not that difficult.

      NY should go after other fuckers too. Starting with the ones that said “victimless”. Could provide some funding for the state.

        Yeah seriously. They should go after every guy who’s done shit like this, in every state. That’s what they’d do if the establishment was even half assed competent. But they aren’t willing to do that, because they’re either donors or elites don’t attack elites or whatever the reason may be, but it’s lending credence to the “this is a trump witch hunt” narrative.

      Because it was a bullshit case that should never have happened and people like stewart are just cheering the end of the US. I understand how people love their R or D team, but this case is so obviously nonesense that I cant understand how its not obvious.
