Depends on how likely your bank thinks you are to default on your mortgage…
Tell your bank, you’ve lost your job, going to prison, and you’re newly divorced with large alimony payments. /s obviously.
Waitaminit…
If a bank sells a mortgage, there obviously has to be a buyer.
Any buyer who does their due diligence is going to see a mortgage on a commercial office property, and weigh the risks of the borrower defaulting on their mortgage, or the borrower not being able to refinance when the mortgage is due.
So given the current environment for commercial offices, any reasonable buyer is going to offer to buy commercial office mortgages at a discount, maybe even at a significant discount, which likely means a financial loss for the bank anyway.
So what’s the difference if the bank holds on to the mortgage, and if the borrower defaults, then seizing the building, i.e. the real asset, and auctioning it off for whatever it can get?
Wouldn’t the loss on a mortgage default and asset seizure, likely the be about same as the loss as selling to a prospective buyer for the mortgage, a buyer who had properly calculated a discount for the risk into their purchase price?
That is highly likely what Jones will do, unfortunately.
As well as hide his income behind all kinds of shell corporations
Sorry Abe, the modern Republican Party is not in your image…
US courts can still try him in absentia, i.e. if he’s not present in the courtroom.
If he’s in a country with an extradition treaty with the US, e.g. the UK, he can be extradited to the US for the trial or with a conviction.
I’ve been saying this for years: The US economy is not “growing” not because we’re making more and better products, but because we’re commercializing social support systems that we used to get at low cost, or for free, from our families, relatives and neighbors: Health care, child care elder care, live-at-home spouses and homemakers, even talking with your neighbors and friends has been replaced with social media.
The cost of birthing and raising a child is even commodified in the health care system.
Is it any wonder why wealthy countries’ birthrates are falling? Asides from environmental factors, like microplastics and climate change.
The reasons why the US population is growing are related to immigration: Both directly counting immigrants, and those who still retain enough social capital in their communities to have families.
The so called post-capitalism economy is not productivity growth and making lives better for everyone.
It’s making the production of wealth increasingly meaningless for the average person.
It’s mining social and middle class wealth into the pockets of the wealthy elite and non-human corporations.
But what happens when the wealth in the mines is all gone?
Or maybe reduce gun ownership in the US, so that it’s less likely that people falling into despair attempt suicide by cop?
I was thinking the 72 days they had that fillibuster-proof Senate majority during the Obama presidency.
Since the Comstock Act would have been obsolete at the time, before Roe v Wade was overturned, it should have been a formality.
…And they were busy getting ObamaCare passed, for which I am eternally grateful…
But… Democrats…
Shoulda done that when you had control of both houses of Congress and the presidency…
Excessive heat and related stress has unpleasant and sometimes deadly effects on human physiology.
Even affecting brain function.
Panting is one way of shedding excess heat, but if it’s so hot that even panting doesn’t work…
How about Fox News, Newsmax, OANN, and Infowars while we’re at it?
A biographical movie of this guy is going to be… entertaining…
An opinion piece from the right wing echo chamber…
Every single article on the home page right wing slant about the Trump trial.
Why? To kill them off faster?
There’s no indication that this group attempting to bribe her are violent, and there was no explicit or implied violent “or else” threat, at least none mentioned in the AP and Star Tribune articles.
Since she dropped the money off with the police, the person who owns the money can come and claim it.
If nobody claims it within a certain period of time, then the money is officially hers to keep.
If someone does come and claim it, then they will probably get in a lot of legal trouble.
i.e. The money’s about as good as the former juror’s. She just needs to wait.
Those involved in the fake elector scheme aren’t just criminals, they’re traitors who really need to be dealt with severely.
Is “Have you had an abortion?” going to be on Texas college application forms?
If so, will there be room for an accompanying essay?
