Huh. I was looking for some more information (about either the developer or maybe whatever CAD engine was being used), and it seems that there is another block based CAD editor with a very similar name. Block CAD (this) versus Blocks CAD[1]

It's even easier than that - Cohen already pled guilty and was convicted for this campaign finance violation. During the trial Cohen explicitly named Trump as a co-conspirator while the prosecutor decided to call him "Individual 1
