angaron valueing ma-a-lago at 18 million, when any fool knows it is worth at least 200 million
You do know that Trump lost his first systemic fraud case on
summery judgements due to his own companies records showing that he was involved in systemic fraud. That fraud was indefensible in court based on the facts of the case, facts supported by his own company records showing his assets being valued at one price (for tax purposes) and then at another price (to access discounted loans); ain’t document trails a bitch.
The second systemic fraud case was held to determine what level of
disgorgement should be provided as a penalty (cause he ain’t Riddick and he doesn’t get to keep what he kills). This second case required a few more elements to be proven above those of his first case. his previous conviction to be proven beyond doubt
As to Mar-a-lago’s valuation, which do you reference… the commercial valuation with the development encumbrances that Trump himself added to reduce taxes or the overinflated residential valuation (which can‘t be true because of the commercial encumbrances that trump himself added to the property).
The fact is that Judge Engoron has never placed any valuations on any of trumps properties, he only referenced Trumps own company documentation as to what it may be worth. And it was the double standards that Trump himself used in his double valuations that were the demise of his scheme to defraud (on land tax or on interest paid)…
Really, Trump should be thanking his lucky stars that he was indicted for a civil systemic fraud offence rather than a criminal offence as the later carries both disgorgement and jail time…
