Show me the man and I'll show you the crime. What you just posted proves my point.
If I ran for president you wouldn’t find much. Certainly not hundreds of millions of dollars in fraudulent profits. I doubt I’d find anything newsworthy on you either. Don’t attract the spotlight if you’ve done shady shit. If found, even if it was bill clinton in court today, I don’t have a problem with justice being served.

It's not that everybody does it, it's that AFAIK, nobody has ever been prosecuted just this way under this statute, and NOBODY has received a fine such as this.
Personally, I think it's unconstitutional.
I guess we'll find out.

I’d imagine there have been countless of similar cases prosecuted for such type of fraud and ill gotten gains. Not sure where to search and find that info, though.

I may be wrong, but my understanding is that no one has been prosecuted for such a case in which there was no loss by any of the lenders. At least that’s what I read.
Not sure where to search and find that info, though.
Let us know if you find something.

Here is a small list of the 9800 NY prosecutions (since 2015) for falsifying business records
President Trump case is on page 11 FYI

So, if someone kills someone with a fly swatter and that has never been done before, should the person still be prosecuted?

The analogy would be if fly swatter killings were not uncommon, but never prosecuted until now.

There is a first for everything. LOL. Again, if you broke the law and it has not been prosecuted before doesn't make you less guilty.
(I should say that I do not know the details of this cases whether he should have been found guilty of not. But the excuse that nobody else has been prosecuted for this is pretty week in my opinion. I have in the recent past there was a first time prosecution for crypto currency fraud. Claiming that you are innocent because others have been doing crypto currency fraud but not prosecuted........
Kind of like when the IRS prosecutes some high profile celebrity on a tax charge that "everybody is doing".)

Give me a week and intense scrutiny, and a good prosecutor could put you in jail.
And you might well be guilty. Of something.

Probably . But usually prosecutors will try to get the most "bang for buck", targeting someone who will give them the maximum publicity and exposure.
I am guessing that this case may cause others to think again before giving a false value of real estate.
Was that the reason here? No - I am sure it was political, but it may have the consequence of stopping others from doing the same thing.
As I mentioned above, like the IRS going after people. Lets say I knowingly do an illegal tax "write off". Everybody is doing it. Will the IRS come after me (or you) or go after celebrity XX? Even though they did not come after me, I would probably think again before doing the tax write-off
(For example, this just came up)

So it's your contention that Trump is being targeted because he's famous, and in turn, that's because this is the best way for those targeting him, to cut down on false reports of property value?
Or is there just some large part of your brain that becomes satisfied when you can weave a narrative that sounds good, even while other parts of your brain know the narrative is false?

Looks like there's been an average of about 300 per year, where this code is the top charge against a defendant.

I don't think the question is whether the statute had never been used before for any reason.
