Everybody who thought Letitia James lied on real estate documents is wrong

7. I figured this case had to be bogus

There is no way she would have thought she could or would get away with saying she was living in VA. She was literally the most famous state AG in the country and very large numbers of people handle mortgage applications, the notion that one of those people wouldn't have recognized her is absurd. Similarly there is no way that she could have gotten away with saying a building had 4 units when it had 5. An inspection is part of any mortgage (even newly built buildings) and the first part of that would be saying how many units it had. That leaves the third one, of all of them, that is the only one that was plausible. But even that, given her status as public figure (and this one was in NY) seems pretty hard to assume she would get away with it.
