    Yeah, and? When I put down my wage on a loan application it’s because I’m trying to convince lenders to loan me money. It doesn’t mean I lied about my wage. What a brain dead article.

      If you lied about your wage in the application for the loan you committed fraud.

          Lying about your wage to get a loan or lying about your assets to get lower interest is fraud.

            Again though, it hasn’t been proven that he lied/committed fraud.

              Are you talking about this time or the time he defrauded the children’s cancer charity?

                Which one is he in court for here? A children’s charity? No? So why bring it up?
