Yikes. Hank. You can’t wrap your mind around this difference?

Of course. The owner is irrelevant to the valuation. It’s the uniqueness of the property that makes comps difficult. It’s the lack of access to financials and the lack of knowledge of demand for such a unique property that makes it different. I should not have to lead you to this.


Take a look at how accurate Forbes valuations of sports franchises have been. Usually off (low) by 50-100 percent. And there are at least a few comps they can use there.


Relying on Forbes for a valuation of a closely held entity is foolish. Not realizing why MAL is different than 20 plots of land is even more foolish. But I would be happy to base the valuation based upon the average value of land in that neighborhood.


You won’t like what that does to your “argument”.

There's plenty of others who've given similar valuations. Get off your arse and Google them up.


And there are others that disagree. Lending credence to the difficulty of preparing a valuation of such a unique property. The wide range of valuations given proves there is no fraud.

Clearly the banks thought it was legit. Do you think they just believed Trulmp?

And none are valid for a valuation from a decade ago, when trump estimated fraudulently its value to be over half a billion. And by his own admission using a valuation specifically restricted by his deed.

And who his own executive stated it was fraudulent in court, under oath. But yeah man, you know better.

You have zero capability of approaching anything concerning Trump in a rational, unbiased manner.

You have proven that over and over and over.

Link his executive saying it was “fraudulent”. My recollection was that he said he used a method that would be used for a residence and not an income producing property. That may mean he used the wrong valuation method, but it in no way means the numbers on the loan application were incorrect and certainly doesn’t mean they were fraudulent.

I’ve got plans I’m heading to, but I look forward to you linking the executive saying the words “fraudulent”.

If he did, I’ll eat my crow as to his testimony.

The real property called "Mar-a-Lago" is not a closely held entity, though it is owned by a closely held entity. The ownership of the real property does not effect the value of the real property.

Now, if you are trying to discuss a value of the "going concern" of the private club, and if that is what Forbes was trying to value (which I do not believe to be the case), I do agree with you.
quote:

It’s the uniqueness of the property that makes comps difficult.
And, again, the nature of the ownership of the real property is irrelevant to that question.

I absolutely agree that a property such as Mar-a-Lago (again, only one of about 20 properties as to which Trump is alleged to have inflated his valuations) is unique and thus difficult to find good "comps."
quote:

I don't even understand what point you are trying to raise here. Mar-a-Lago is just one of approximately twenty properties that the AG has alleged were intentionally and knowingly over-valued by Trump. Another is his Trump Tower penthouse. I think that Bedminster was another. Understand now?

You seem to be thinking that Mar-a-Lago is coomprised of twenty parcels or maybe that there were 20 (bad) local "comps."

Gee. I wonder why I would use the 20 number.

Was the court presented with MSJ evidence of these other valuations by all these financial institutions?

Again, this was an MSJ. Very different rules than a trial on the merits.

Trump's counsel have repeatedly over the past three years proven themselves to be essentially incompetent. Is there any reason to believe that THIS set of Trump lawyers suddenly became competent in responding to THIS motion?

Not sure who this "Hank" might be, but I did just assume that anyone discussing this issue would have read both the entire thread and the controlling Complaint. The AG alleges that Trump intentionally and knowingly over-valued about twenty DIFFERENT parcels of real property, of which the Mar-a-Lao property is only one.

Perhaps that was a foolish assumption.

Sorry!

You're a lawyer in a thread defending a case which you now claim never should have been filed. Does that register?

If taxpayer compensated attorneys filed any case they could concoct against any defendant they choose to target, with targeting based solely partisan politics, they could financially crush 49 of 50 families they targeted ... even if all 49 were completely innocent.

Does that impropriety register?

I am NOT defending the filing of the case. I disapprove.

I am EVALUATING (correctly) the substantive merits of the claims, separate and apart from the selective enforcement issue.

Why? I am not certain that the constitutional concerns related to selective PROSECUTION apply to civil cases. SCOTUS often draws that distinction in other areas of civil regulation/enforcement vs criminal proceedings.

I think that would be improper. I think that the prosecutor who did that should be replaced at the next election. But (in a civil case) I am not convinced that the Constitution has been violated. Does that DISTINCTION register?

Andrew Amer, a lawyer for the New York state Attorney General’s office, asked McConney whether he had been asked more than once to help Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg commit tax fraud. McConney said yes.

McConney also admitted that Weisselberg had told him to process a payroll check for Weisselberg’s wife so she could get Social Security benefits, even though she was not a Trump Organization employee.

McConney has previously acknowledged he knew he was breaking the law. He testified Friday that he continued to commit fraud because Weisselberg was his boss, and McConney knew he would likely lose his job if he stopped obeying.

What an odd question.
How many times has Allen Weisselberg been convicted for committing """tax fraud"""???

No Hank. Not putting your napkin in your lap at the dinner table is "improper".

Breaking an innocent family financially because they do not espouse critical theory, Marxism, or their 14y/o daughter being anally sodomized on the filthy floor of a high school restroom is a legal atrocity.
