No, this is just the fraud ruling and the associated interest. The E. Jean Carroll trials aren't included in the amount on the page.

One of his legal losses. This doesn't include the E. Jean Carroll rulings.

^This. You can get titers checked for all of your childhood vaccinations. Hep B is a good one to check because it doesn't always "stick" even when you get 2 doses as a kid. Almost every childhood vaccination can be given to adults with roughly equivalent effectiveness.

Even if they don't die now, there's complications that can kill them that happen 2 months later (for the more dangerous one), or 7-10 years later (for the sneaky one). Measles is a nasty virus and there's a long list of damn good reasons why everyone who possibly can should be vaccinated against it.

The edit history would show things like copy/pasting large blocks of text versus normally typed edits.

If you write something in Word or an equivalent program, there will be metadata of the save files that shows creation and edit timestamps. If they use something like Google Docs, there's a very similar mechanism via the version history. I actually had the metadata from a Word document be useful in a legal case.

The point of the laws he broke is to limit corruption and fraud in business in New York. What he did is exactly and explicitly what the laws are in place to try to prevent.

His tax evasion is a significant piece of his fraud. Even if you insist on discounting it, the laws and regulations violated in this case are set up to allow enforcement of fair business practices in New York, and in large part were enacted in the 60's because of how easily businesses were evading the common law fraud regulations. It's less about whether or not there is a victim, but rather about whether or not outside businesses and interests can rely on fair practices and enforcement in New York as a whole.

He cheated on his taxes by having the deed to Mar-a-lago restricted to commercial use only while using it and valuing it as if it were a single family residence. It's a massive difference in value when it comes to taxes and that isn't the only property he had deed restrictions or easements on.

The case was about all the fraud involved in the financial statements alongside disingenuous valuations and deed restrictions on his properties.

The fraudulent valuations went both ways. He artificially inflated the values for lines of credit and loans, and artificially deflated the values for the purpose of tax evasion. Letitia James pulled an Elliot Ness on him with this case.

That needs to be a serious sit-down conversation. I'd advise against making it about her health because that's more likely to put her on the defensive and ignore everything else. You could print out a credit card statement to show her how much it's costing you and what that money could be going towards. Also, it would be worth pointing out how much of the door dash bill is going to tips and delivery fees. I think the issue a lot of people have with door dash is the lack of sticker shock. You don't notice the impact of a bunch of smaller purchases anywhere near as much as a single big purchase.
