NY attorney general sues Donald Trump and his company Loop Jamaica

New York’s attorney general sued former President Donald Trump and his company on Wednesday, alleging business fraud involving some of their most prized assets, including properties in Manhattan, Chicago and Washington, DC.
Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit, filed in state court in New York, is the culmination of the Democrat’s three-year civil investigation of Trump and the Trump Organisation. Trump’s three eldest children, Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric Trump, were also named as defendants, along with two longtime company executives, Allen Weisselberg and Jeffrey McConney.
The lawsuit seeks to strike at the core of what made Trump famous, taking a blacklight to the image of wealth and opulence he’s embraced throughout his career — first as a real estate developer, then as a reality TV host on ‘The Apprentice’ and ‘Celebrity Apprentice’, and later as president.
James, a Democrat, announced details of the lawsuit at a news conference on Wednesday. The case showed up on a court docket Wednesday morning.
“Donald Trump falsely inflated his net worth by billions of dollars to unjustly enrich himself, and cheat the system, thereby cheating all of us,” James said at the news conference.
The goal, the attorney general’s office has said, was to burnish Trump’s billionaire image and the value of his properties when doing so gave him an advantage while playing down the value of assets at other times for tax purposes.
James is seeking to remove the Trumps from businesses engaged in the alleged fraud and wants an independent monitor appointed for no less than five years to oversee the Trump Organisation’s compliance, financial reporting, valuations and disclosures to lenders, insurers and tax authorities.
She is seeking to replace the current trustees of Trump’s revocable trust, which controls his business interests, with independent trustees, to bar Trump and the Trump Organisation from entering into commercial real estate acquisitions for five years, from obtaining loans from banks in New York for five years and permanently bar Trump and his three eldest children from serving as an officer or director in any New York corporation or similar business entity registered and/or licensed in New York State.
She also seeks to permanently bar Weisselberg and McConney from serving in the financial control function of any New York corporation or similar business entity registered and/or licensed in New York State.
James said her investigation uncovered potential criminal violations, including falsifying business records, issuing false financial statements, insurance fraud, conspiracy and bank fraud. She said her office is referring those findings to federal prosecutors and the Internal Revenue Service.
Alina Habba, an attorney for Trump, said the lawsuit “is neither focused on the facts nor the law — rather, it is solely focused on advancing the Attorney General’s political agenda”.
“It is abundantly clear that the Attorney General’s Office has exceeded its statutory authority by prying into transactions where absolutely no wrongdoing has taken place,” Habba said. “We are confident that our judicial system will not stand for this unchecked abuse of authority, and we look forward to defending our client against each and every one of the Attorney General’s meritless claims.”

Why Bounty Killer did not attend Merciless’ funeral Loop Jamaica
Black Immigrant Daily News
The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News
After a major furore over the weekend by the absence of several celebrities from the thanksgiving service for the life of deejay Merciless, top flight entertainer Bounty Killer took shared why he avoided attending the funeral.
The Warlord claims that he believed the service was more about celebrating Merciless’ victory against Beenie Man, Ninjaman and himself at the infamous 2000 staging of Sting than about celebrating the deejay’s life.
“Showed up when they are there celebrating Leonard’s victory over us at Sting instead of his life? Did unuh all saw the… grade of disrespect displayed there. Then unuh all was looking for us to come share our sympathy at the time? Unuh fava rat p**s soup,” Bounty posted in resonse to a fan on the social media site.
Merciless, real name Leonard Bartley, is best known for a legendary clash that took place at Sting 2000 when he annihilated a mighty triumvirate of Ninjaman, Bounty Killer and Beenie Man, turning the tables in a lyrical face-off at the Jamworld Entertainment Complex in Portmore, St Catherine.
Over the weekend, veteran sound system selector, Ricky Trooper had lashed out at several artistes for not turning up at the funeral for the late dancehall artiste Merciless.
Bartley was laid to rest on September 17 at St Gabriel’s Anglican Church Hall on Church Street in May Pen, Clarendon.
He was 51 at the time of his death.
The late Clarendon native was known for songs such as the Robert Livingston-produced ‘Mavis’, which was the top Reggae single in Jamaica in 1995. Other standout songs include ‘Gal Dem Gizzada’, ‘Mama Cooking’ and ‘Mr Whodini’.

Phase One, Edinburgh allottees now able to access their land
Black Immigrant Daily News
The content originally appeared on: INews Guyana
After almost two years of waiting, the first batch of allottees in Phase One, Edinburgh, West Coast Demerara (WCD), this morning participated in a lot of identification exercise.
Some 65 persons were invited by the staff of the Survey Department of the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) to identify their lot and boundary lines.
These persons were allocated lands in December 2020 at the first ever ‘Dream Realised’ event in Region Three (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara).
A total of 410 lots have been allocated. However, during an inspection of works earlier this month, Housing Minister Collin Croal was informed of some challenges facing the contractors. As a result of these challenges, there has been some delay in the pace at which infrastructure works are carried out.
Even as works are ongoing to make the remainder of the scheme available, the CH&PA has committed to start identifying lots with persons in phases.
The Ministry of Housing noted that by the end of September, allottees in Phase Two and Three will be able to access their land.

Update: Murdered son often defended mother from abusive father
Black Immigrant Daily News

As police continue their investigations into the tragedy that struck at Ann’s Grove, East Coast Demerara (ECD) this morning, details are emerging about the unfortunate circumstances leading to the bloodshed that left a young man dead and his mother critical while their abuser committed suicide.
Seon Scott, 21, a security guard, was brutally chopped to death by his father whilst he was still asleep. Scott is the only son shared between Sharon Scott, 53, and her 57-year-old husband, Leon Bobb.
INews was informed that Scott and his father were often at loggerheads, mainly because of the man’s abusive tendencies towards his mother. In fact, the young man often slept on the verandah of their house – something which neighbours suspect was a means of keeping the peace in the home.
However, on Tuesday evening, the young Scott slept inside the house.
At around 01:45hrs today, neighbours said they heard the woman screaming and upon checking, saw the husband armed with a cutlass, chasing her around the yard.
It is presumed that at this point, the son was already dead since he never showed up to rescue his mother, as he had done so many times in the past.
During the commotion, the suspect’s brothers turned up at the scene and tried to pacify him but to no avail. Bobb, a farmer, eventually chopped the woman about her body and also set her on fire.
Subsequently, the man attempted to end his life but when police arrived on the scene, the man was still breathing.
Both the suspect and his wife were rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital. Bobb succumbed to his injuries while the woman is battling for her life.
Speaking to this publication, a neighbour recalled several instances whereby she heard the woman screaming at the hands of her abuser. “Sometimes he beating her for sex, all them things he does be doing…,” the neighbour explained.
“They does deh quarreling. The son and him don’t live good…every now and then you does hear them really going on,” another neighbour explained.
Meanwhile, a friend of the now dead young man revealed that the father had previously reportedly attempted to kill both his wife and son.
“Seon always coming to complain about his father, telling me how he father always beating his mother,” the friend expressed.
“A time last week, he say the father go to poison the water and that was it…every Sunday when I home from work, he always come, if he have something to tell me, he would tell me. I always encourage him to go to the station or don’t do nothing stupid. So last night, I don’t know what happen…,” she noted.

The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) at its statutory meeting held on Tuesday, appointed Beverley Critchlow as Assistant Chief Election Officer (ACEO).
In a statement, GECOM said Critchlow’s appointment emanated from a transparent process that involved all of the Members of the Commission, i.e. one in which all Commissioners were availed of the opportunity to interview all of the shortlisted candidates and, thereafter, indicate their respective choice to fill the position.
In this regard, having heard the submissions of all of the six the Commissioners relative to the candidate of their respective choice for the position of ACEO, Justice of Appeal (Ret’d) Claudette Singh, Chairperson of the Commission concluded that Critchlow’s qualification and experience, as well as her institutional knowledge, placed her at an advantage above the other candidates.
The newly appointed ACEO was employed with GECOM for 20 years and acted in the position as ACEO on multiple occasions, the most recent being 2017-2019.
The experience she garnered in the field of registration and electoral processes; having worked in different areas including but not limited to the registration of eligible non-resident persons, non-resident balloting, overseeing the operations of 29 Registration Offices and Sub Offices, preparation of Official Lists of Electors (OLE), extracting names of members of the disciplined forces from the OLE, make her eminently qualified for the post.

En espera las gasolineras para recibir combustible, mientras líder de detallistas hace llamado a la calma
Black Immigrant Daily News

El presidente de la Asociación de Detallistas de Gasolina, Esdras Vélez, descartó una crisis por falta de combustible, luego de que se reportara que gasolineras del sur no cuentan con el producto. No obstante, sí indicó que le preocupa la situación con el diésel.
Más temprano, el gobernador Pedro Pierluisi indicó, en conferencia de prensa, que el municipio con problemas de despacho es Yabucoa. No obstante, Vélez detalló que el problema no es solo allí, aunque invitó a tener calma.
“El llamado que yo hago es a la calma. Los camioneros, las compañías de distribución ya han salido a entregar […] Estamos todos en lista de espera. Yo estoy en el área sur. Me han entregado. Me he quedado sin combustible y estamos en espera. La única situación, lo que a mí me preocupa, es el abasto de diesel recordando las ambulancias, los hospitales, nuestra industria también corre con diesel, quienes nos entregan corren con diésel. Y el viernes pasado, llegaba un barco a Puerto Rico que fue desviado. No pudo descargar”, informó Vélez.
Asimismo, pidió al secretario del Departamento de Asuntos del Consumidor (DACO), Edan Rivera, un alivio para los detallistas debido al costo adicional al que han incurrido a raíz de la emergencia tras el huracán Fiona.
“¿Qué podría hacer él? Escuchar nuestras sugerencias como desde el día número uno. La gestión que ha hecho, el comunicado que ha emitido, ha sido ninguno. Nos ha cerrado la puerta. El tiene su decisión ya tomada y entiende que estamos equivocados nosotros. Lo peor que puede tener una persona es que no escuche para tomar una decisión salomónica”, finalizó el líder al afirmar que desde ayer se trabaja para suplir a las gasolineras.

Une onde tropical active traverse l’extrême sud des antilles. Elle génères des averses orageuses et ne concerne que peu la Martinique.
Selon le dernier bulletin cyclonique de Météo-France paru ce mercredi 21 septembre à 11 heures 38, une onde tropicale active se trouve à proximité de Trinidad et poursuit sa route vers l’ouest. Cette onde tropicale génère une forte convection avec de nombreuses averses orageuses. Après avoir passé aujourd’hui l’extrême sud des Antilles, il existe une forte probabilité qu’elle évolue en phénomène cyclonique en mer des caraïbes dans les deux prochains jours.
Le risque est faible pour la Martinique qui devrait uniquement subir quelques averses de courte durée dans la nuit de mercredi à jeudi (22 septembre).
