Dr. King envisioned a world where all our diverse communities would join together. Today, I had the honor of recognizing #MLKDay by doing just that.

It was great to stop by @bx_uniongrove today to celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the Bronx. Attorney General James attends a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
I joined @BAM_Brooklyn for its annual event to pay tribute to the legacy of Dr. King.

Dr. King's work touched every corner of our society, and his message has been carried on through music and the arts as an instrument of change. Attorney General James speaks at a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr
Dr. King taught us that arc of the moral universe is long, but it always bends towards justice.

Proud to have been in the House of Justice with @TheRevAl and @NationalAction this afternoon to continue carrying out Dr. King’s legacy. Attorney General James speaks at a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr

New York: Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your Attorney General for four more years.

It is my profound honor to pledge my service again, and to commit to fighting for all of you.
Four years ago, I made a commitment to use this office as a force for justice and to never be afraid to take on powerful forces.   
   
That’s exactly what we did.
We secured $7.5 billion from those who tried to skirt the law, including over $2.5 billion from the companies responsible for the opioid crisis.

We stood up to predatory landlords, fought for workers, took down dangerous gun and drug trafficking rings, and rooted out corruption.

I'm suing Cold Spring Hills, a Long Island nursing home, for allegedly taking $22.6 million in government funds meant for resident care for their own personal profit.

This is the third nursing home we have sued in the past month to protect vulnerable New Yorkers.
The owners and operators of Cold Spring Hills engaged in years of fraud and self-dealing.

They neglected and hurt residents, understaffed the facility, and created poor working conditions for its employees.
- Residents weren't fed or given medication.

- They were forced to sit in their own feces for hours and weren't bathed for months. 
 
- They didn't receive proper wound care.

- Wheelchairs, beds, shower chairs, and ACs were broken and unusable.

My office is suing Fulton Commons, a Long Island nursing home, and its owners and operators for allegedly taking over $16 million for their own personal gain.

As a result of this fraud, residents have been abused and mistreated for years.
The owners of Fulton Commons illegally took millions of dollars in government funds to enrich themselves instead of using the money for resident care.

They understaffed the facility, created inhumane conditions, and engaged in a devastating pattern of abuse and mistreatment.
- Residents were illegally restrained and drugged.

- They didn't get necessary medication and treatment. 
 
- They were sexually abused. 
 
- The facility failed to give residents basic care, leaving them filthy.

Today, I'm suing The Villages, a nursing home in Western New York.

For years, the owners and operators of The Villages took over $18 million that should have been invested into the facility for their own personal gain, causing significant harm to its residents.
The Villages ignored the law and pocketed government funds at the expense of the health and safety of its residents. 
  
Even before the pandemic, this led to chronic understaffing and inhumane conditions, with vulnerable residents being denied the most basic care.
The Villages:

- Forced residents to sit in their own urine and feces for hours.

- Did not provide proper wound care.

- Failed to provide proper feeding.

- Refused to provide sufficient staff.

Hy Cite Enterprises pressured Hispanic New Yorkers into buying their products, misled them about their refund policy, and refused to let them return products.

We're making them pay for their wrongdoing: Hy Cite will pay $300,000 and refund customers.
Any New Yorker who tried to return a product within 20 days of purchase from Hy Cite or its brands, Royal Prestige and Kitchen Charm, but was denied, should contact my office:

Hy Cite Enterprises presionó a los neoyorquinos hispanos para que compraran sus productos, los engañó sobre su política de reembolso y se negó a permitirles devolver los productos.

Les estamos haciendo pagar por sus fechorías: Hy Cite pagará $300,000 y reembolsará a los clientes

Our suit against Donald Trump and the Trump Org alleges a years-long financial fraud scheme.

Here’s how Trump generated false and misleading values on his annual financial statements, which were then used to pay lower taxes, guarantee loans, and get better insurance rates:
➡️Using objectively false numbers to calculate property values.

For example, Trump's apartment in Trump Tower is 10,996 square feet.

Yet, he said it was 30,000 square feet to value it at $327 million. A New York City apartment had never sold for that much.
➡️Ignoring legal restrictions on properties.

At Trump Park Ave, he valued 12 rent-stabilized units at market rate, inflating the value by 65 times.

At Mar-a-Lago, he ignored development restrictions to claim the property was worth $739 million.

Its value is about $75 million.
