I don't need to speak to whether or not assets were inflated. You missed the point entirely.
Considering that was one of the things Trump was charged with, it does seem pertinent.
That's CNN buddy....not Fox News.
That finding, part of [COLOR=var(--theme-paragraph__link-color)]shocking ruling that found Trump and his adult sons liable for fraud,https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/26/politics/trump-organization-business-fraud/index.html was just one of multiple examples in which Judge Arthur Engoron found the Trump real estate empire to have been grossly inflated in value.[/COLOR]
But the Mar-a-Lago finding in particular is raising eyebrows among real estate and legal experts because of the metric Judge Engoron relied on: the county tax assessor’s appraisal value.
Funny, but you missed the very next line of that piece:
But it’s widely known that the tax assessor valuation is typically, though not always, less than what a property would command on the open market.
And therein lies the problem. Mar A Lago cannot command an "open market" price, due to easements.
As I pointed out earlier.
See, the easements on Mar A Lago means there are restrictions on the property, such as how it can be used and what it can be used for, which affect its market value. Meaning it cannot be sold for the figures Trump alleges it's worth...so it's
not actually worth that.
Now, you quoted the law....you dug your own hole. You made your own bed.
Not at all. The assessor's appraisal value is what Trump paid taxes on. It's "fair market value" is limited, due to the easements Trump got for the tax breaks. So the value Trump continues to attribute to it isn't based on what the property can actually be sold for.
Appraisal fraud is based on fair market value? Right?
So either this judge is mentally impaired, corrupt, or merely unfit for the bench....but he shouldn't be going off tax assessments that have zip to do with fair market value.
Or he knew about the easements, and you didn't.
Even though I mentioned them before.
And all without a criminal complaint. That's malicious prosecution. Obvious bias.
There was a complaint, issued by the AG's office. In civil court, not criminal.
If you see bias in that, feel free to point out exactly where it is.
No I didn't....and I offered you a chance to explain her words yourself and you failed miserably.
Are you somehow under the impression I'm her press secretary or her spokesperson?
I'm not.
And neither are you.
She can speak for herself.
She's not telling people who aren't breaking the law they should not worry about being prosecuted. Why would they worry about that?
You had your chance...I paraphrased her perfectly.
Nope, you mischaracterized her. Read her own words again, she didn't say what you pretended she said.
-- A2SG, you are, of course, free to believe whatever you wish...but she's not beholden to your imagination.....
