Hope his appearances lead to him being investigated for his confession of fraud. He has the same sense of entitlement of Trump to break important laws that makes business in US safe.

[rauldeluna]

Yes Kevin, the risk of breaking the law is high, even for white collar criminals.

Laura is great. Held her composure when Kevin started talking about how unfair the NY courts system is. Please Kevin, you should pay more taxes and anyone that builds skycrappers should too.

[peanutbutterpanda]

Steal over $1000 in New York and it's a felony, with a fine of up to 2x the amount stolen and up to 4 years in jail.
But if you steal millions, then guys like this balk at having to pay any consequences at all.

[pierrr]

Kevin trying to rehabilitate his image after his FTX shenanigans…. no credibility mate. None.

[gmp]

This guy embodies the 2024 version of “only the little people pay taxes” (and other fines and penalties).

[johncannoli]

Why does CNN keep bringing this guy on?

[nonameissafer.]

Shut him down sell off his lame properties. Commit fraud pay the price.

[RockWILK]

Spoken like a developer. “We should be able to do whatever we want, including lying to make more money” unreal.

[mr.mauriceevansjones]

If he has a problem with New York State. Tell him to go back to Canada. He is not a American citizen.

[matthagen]

In 2008, when banks failed, the federal government GAVE banks money. By March 2009, the Fed had committed almost $8 trillion to bailing out the banking system. The crime of fraud is not victimless. Common folks like you and me pay.

[scurra]

I love how his argument boils down to: 'We'll be held accountable for skirting/violating the law! The risk in NY will be too great!'

[sYnSilentStorm]

This is a guy that said it's a good thing that the separation of poor and rich is getting larger and larger. He's a criminal and he needs to be investigated immediately, he's confessing his crimes live on air.

[dennislewis]

Rich people getting mad because they caught in the game that they've been playing for years

[steveblackimages]

Oh Kevin, just keep your mouth shut.
You are just putting yourself on AG James' radar.

[larspothast]

Here we go again: rich guy does not like rules, considers regulation and being held accountable as ‘a risk’ rather than a means to provide an honest and level playingfield.

[johndanenberg]

Mr Wonderful condones Trumps business criminality. He's calling the kettle black.

[steveswartz]

CNN, “Let’s get a con man to tell us about a con man”

[mandytomtube]

I thought the shark was under investigation for real estate fraud

[Dunkinthetrunk]

Oh look, a rich guy thinking this is unfair. The size of the penalty is supposed to match the crime. Any less and there's no deterrence for future crime. He knows that.
