CrakHoBarbie Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 I've heard a load of far right zealots claim that since Donald "believed" his property valuations were correct, then Donald cannot suffer legal consequences. To be clear, the issue is that Donald inflated the value of his properties to get loans, then deflated those same values come tax time. So, no.... It doesn't matter what Donald "believes". He is guilty as sin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebound Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 I read about the value of Mar-a-Lago, which is only one of many properties that he inflated. Trump’s claim that the club is worth “billions” is utterly false. Trump was losing money on Mar-a-Lago and unable to pay the property tax bill, so he agreed to a deed restriction which limits Mar-a-Lago to use only as a private club, limited to I believe just 500 members. This is why Mar-a-Lago is worth so little. It cannot ever be resold as anything other than a country club, which is basically a hotel/restaurant that has a lot of upkeep and fees to sustain its operation. The place makes about $20 million a year gross, much less net, of course. This is why it’s only worth about $20 million and it will never sell for hundreds of millions or a billion dollars. 500 members maximum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrakHoBarbie Posted November 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 17 minutes ago, West said: banks would do their own appraisal on his property before signing off on a loan. Trump’s loans were not approved through the same method as your house or commercial property where the bank’s appraisal is the most important factor. Paragraphs 563 and 564 of the lawsuit explain why: 563. Starting in 2011 the relationship with Deutsche Bank was revitalized when Mr. Trump and the Trump Organization initiated a relationship with bankers in the Private Wealth Management (“PWM”) division of Deutsche Bank, which enabled them to obtain more favorable terms than they could have received through the CRE division by having Mr. Trump personally guarantee the loans based on his net worth as reflected in his Statements of Financial Condition. 564. In essence, rather than obtain credit facilities through the wing of Deutsche Bank with an expertise in commercial real estate, Mr. Trump began to seek funds from a wing of Deutsche Bank focused on servicing ultrawealthy clients. Hence, Mr. Trump’s personal guaranty, and his representations regarding his finances that backed up that guaranty, featured prominently in Mr. Trump’s loan transactions through the PWM wing of Deutsche Bank. This wasn’t like any bank loan process you’re familiar with, so you can’t assume it works the same way. The banks were approving loans based on all his holdings and the claims he made about them — not just on the property he wanted a loan for. The banks were not doing their own appraisals on every asset and liability Trump had anywhere in the world, they were relying on other appraisals he provided, and the financial statements he provided. This is where many of the frauds occurred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the banks did their own appraisals, and maybe they didn’t, but the court has already ruled that the Trump organization committed fraud. The independent appraiser might believe the statement that the penthouse was 30,000 square feet, when Trump knew it was 10,000. They might not have found that certain deed and rent control restrictions were in place on certain properties. This is why you are legally obligated to honestly disclose everything on these applications. The Trump Organization submitted these evaluations to banks repeatedly, and they grossly overstated the values of dozens of properties over and over. It’s not like they fudged the numbers by 10 or 20% of one property one time. This was far beyond an honest mistake. It was deliberate, and the testimony shows that a wide number of Trump employees were in on it and aware of it. I just explained why Mar-A-Lago is worth only $20 million-ish, yet Trump continues to lie about its value.

Quote claim that since Donald "believed" his property valuations were correct, then Donald cannot suffer legal consequences. Fraud does require mens rea. You have to knowingly misrepresent something. So.. while you're being a little general there it's true in as much as he has to believe ALL the information passed over was substantially accurate. If he does then it's not fraud. Quote To be clear, the issue is that Donald inflated the value of his properties to get loans, then deflated those same values come tax time. No, that's not the issue. That's already been proven beyond a doubt - the taxable amount is not calculated at ALL the same way, it will be radically different Also the tax assessment comes from the gov't not from trump. The issue is that he provided information about the value, including the valuation and data about the property, which may have been inaccurate. Certainly the size of the property is. It was noted that the tax assesment was smaller which was presented as evidence that his valuaton was too high but every expert has said "of course it was". Quote So, no.... It doesn't matter what Donald "believes". It entirely matters. Sorry kiddo The valuation itself is pretty hard to argue. Normally you would value it by looking at what comparable properties actualy sold for - but this proterty is unique and that's not possible. Things like sq footage are far less 'etherial'. It's been said he gave false sq footage. That can absolutely happen by accident and that's something we see ALL the time in real estate markets - it's not like he would have gone and measured himself. But - having said that if he had been reasonably informed that the nubmers were wrong and still kept putting them out then that's an issue. And of course there's whether the banks were given a chance to verify. There is a reasonable amount of due diligence expected in a transaction. Now - lets remember this is a zero harm case. Nobody is complaining, the lenderwas paid back on time, the lender is not questioning the accuracy and was happy with the valuation. So what this is would be a democrat friendly prosecutor digging and looking for anything he could possibly twist into being a crime and then charging for that. Whether he's guilty under the laws of that state will be a matter for the legal system to decide. But its highly questionable if he was guilty at all, and certainly this trial isnt' about him committing a 'crime', it's about technical violations that have no basis in the real world. Now - i know that's a lot of words for you so i'll keep it simple here at the end - You stupid, trump has to know to be guilty, this is witchhunt Edited November 11, 2023 by CdnFox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's already promised to go scorched earth on crazies like this judge Trump could have appealed the summary judgement and he can appeal anything else. So if it’s true that this is a rogue judge, the decision will be overturned. For some reason, large verdicts are almost always reduced on appeal. But you haven’t made a legal argument. The law is the law and Trump broke it. So your side has nothing to fall back on except to call the judge crazy. You need to tell a court of appeal more than that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this isn't criminal 'fraud' we're talking about, this is different. So the only difference here is the bar the evidence has to reach. A judge just has to be convinced that the charge is likely true. This is often referred to as balance of probabilities or preponderance of the evidence, i don't think it even needs to meet "clear and convincing" and is miles away from 'beyond reasonable doubt" But the judge does have to conclude that trump did not believe that the figures he presented were true.
