He isn't going to be arrested or extradited if he is indicted. He will be allowed to turn himself in like Bannon. They may pull his passport, but he isn't going to see the inside a cell, even if convicted. My best guess, home confinement and fines, a lot of fines.

They refer things to the DOJ. The SDNY is the DOJ which is federal and extradition is not needed in federal cases. So, no again. If this was a serious referral it would have been made to a DA in NYC.

or answer complaints the State gets a default ruling and wins, meaning they could seize all of his property, sell it to settle their claims and then give him anything left over.

We'll see if the SDNY, IRS, and DOJ indict him.

Seriously, losing all the money he stole and being barred from doing business in NY has gotta hurt more.

If the IRS ignores it, then any jack and harry will over-value and under-value their properties left and right.

That is the reason TFG did it for so many years. A lot of them are/were already doing it. TFG wasn't shy about doing it. He has said he has done it but the IRS and fed still ignored him all these years.

they showed a shiny brochure of a private Caribbean island where money and free legal assistance and chocolate cake were provided, to get him on a private jet, to fly him to NY. Then as soon as he's in the jetway, close the door and fly the plane back. Leave him stranded in the NY airport without cash, assistance, directions, anything.

No reason to extradite, no problem for DeSantis. He'll find a way to make TFG look clueless and have a press conference claiming he was really helping
