Is Letitia James at it again?

Asked by seawulf575 (16712points) 2 months ago

Letitia James brought the fraud suit against Donald Trump. This was a case where there was no victim, basically no crime. But she won with the help of Judge Engoron who ruled Trump guilty before the trial even started.

This ruling made business people in NY very nervous because it said to the world that if NY wants income, they will create a charge and take it to their courts to win the case. Gov Hochul made a statement that the case against Trump was a one-off…only because it was Trump. So none of the other business people needed to worry.

A week after this statement, Letitia James filed suit against JBS Foods, a Brazilian company that specializes in beef production. Her reasoning? They put out on their website that they intend to be carbon neutral by 2040. James’ claim is that is a lie so they are guilty of Deceptive Business Practices and False Advertising. But their claim is for 16 years in the future.

Does this bizarre lawsuit show that she is not above going after random companies?
