Donald Trump tried — but failed — to switch the addresses of key assets from Trump Tower in New York to Florida, officials with the state attorney general's office said in their latest civil fraud case filing.

Days after losing the 11-week fraud trial, Trump's lawyers "announced for the first time that various entity defendants operating in New York are allegedly now located on a golf club in Florida," state officials complained in the new filing.



The attempted "relocation" effort proves that Trump cannot be believed when he promises his assets would never be "secreted" out of New York, lawyers for state Attorney General Letitia James said.

"Defendants attempted that relocation even as they claim to this Court that those assets 'cannot be summarily disposed of or secreted out of the jurisdiction,'" the attorney general's lawyers wrote, quoting Trump's own past assurances in their new filing, which totals 132 pages. The filing asks a Manhattan-based appellate court to order Trump to post an appeal bond for the entirety of what he owes New York in fraud penalties.

[Think. Again.]

1. I was going to say that the last address...

...on the IRS tax filings would probably hold up but I then I laughed at myself.

I hope the court-appointed monitor has this all covered.

2. Shouldn't it be criminal fraud or something?

3. Don't worry. The Supreme Court of the Confederate Majority

will rule that buildings are people, and can choose their own home of record.

4. Criminals gotta crime.

5. I recall that his lawyers tried to gloss over the changes.

...referring to the NY addresses as "errors", as if they were always located in Florida.
Watching every move he makes.

6. Once upon a time

I worked in default management (a nice way of saying "collections&quot and people never really understood when I would say that there are folks out there who are 1) well to do, 2) professional deadbeats and 3) would to great lengths to avoid their obligations.

These deadbeats were experts add hiding, obfuscating, structuring and locating their assets to prevent the enforcement of any and all judgments.

And now we have Trump publicly showing off that they tried to do this.

I am willing to bet that Trump has documentation "proving" that this shift was something that was in the works well in advance of not only civil judgment but also prior to the filing of any suits. This will be used as evidence to combat the accusation of fraud.

7. Trump National Golf Club Jupiter, 10th hole, Portable Kiosk.

Knock on concession window if closed.

8. Wouldn't this be a fraud on the court? Punishable by some jail time? 5-days maybe?????

Silly me, still clinging on to a little hope for a smidgen of justice.

9. What happened to Judge Ergeron's Trump Org Overseer?

The appointment was made to prevent such shenanigans.

10. I think when the judge opted not to do the "corporate death penalty"

and restrictions for ability to regain control ranged from 2 - 3 years (vs forever), that overseer arrangement was supposed to shift. I don't remember what was to happen with that but originally, the family (and other managers) would have had to have "permission" to do anything with the corporate entities.

11. His tactic to deal with a fraud trial loss? Yet more fraud. Brilliant!

His tactic to deal with a defamation case loss? Yet more defamation. More brilliance!

Meanwhile, my odd Vladimir-from-Waiting-For-Godot coworker keeps proclaiming nothing will ever happen to the guy who's closing in on over half a billion dollars in fines, fees, and liens.

12. Oh, snap, caught again.

The man just can't lie and cheat anymore without being caught. Good, very good.

13. Of course he did, just like he moved boxes of

classified documents and put them on a plane to hide them from the FBI.
