Unpopular opinion: trump can both be unfairly prosecuted but also guilty of fraud even if everyone made money


Let me explain.

Apparently he said his apartment was 30,000 sq ft MULTIPLE TIMES when it was 10,000 and got a loan based on 3x value.

Even if he made more money for everyone with the borrowed money it's still fraud.

If the project had lost money it would be fraud.

The success of what you use fraudulently gained proceeds for doesn't change the fraud.

Ps I once voted for trump and don't hate him but realize now he lies a lot.

"In law, fraud is intentional deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain, or to deprive a victim of a legal right"


Unlawful gain doesn't require a victim per SE.
