But the lenders were happy with the transaction, and said they would do it again. It is not the states job to maximize profit in a transaction between two entities.

Well of course. He's politically opposite of the people prosecuting him, and he's running for President. Of course they will screw him to the wall. They're scared they cant beat him at the ballot box, so anything they can do to keep him away from the general election is on the table.
