Cy was not in the office as Mr Morgenthau was approaching retirement. At that time, Dan Castleman was the First Asst DA - a more intelligent, capable, brilliant and dogged prosecutor the office did not have. However, Cy chose to contest the seat and the political powers chose him. I disagreed with the choice, but so be it - that’s why we call it a democracy.

The justice system is fundamentally broken, inaccessible to the layperson, and extremely favors those who have money. How in any sort of common sense does a petty drug dealer get 10 years in jail while Elizabeth Holmes gets 12 years (likely 5 for good behavior) for stealing billions? A $25M Ponzi schemer gets only 6 years? Our justice system incentivizes financial fraud through and through. This is what happens when you make DA's politicians who can be bought like Allen Bragg.

@@MultisportOfficial so, the allegation here is that the borrower used a fictional or even disingenuous valuation system. The counter evidence is that the bank validated whatever valuation system the borrower used, and the bank is the opposing party here. The bank has a vested interest in ensuring the valuation was accurate. If it’s not their own money is at risk. They’re not validating the valuation in order to lend the government’s money, it’s their money. Their risk.
