Not that I really care one way or the other. I was just asking about how it seemed folks were blasting Trump's valuation and giving Stewart a pass when I was under the impression the basis for the charges against Trump used the same valuation method from a NY assessor.
Stewart sold a home. Regardless of assessed value, you can sell a home for whatever someone will pay for it.
Trump, on the other hand, grossly overinflated the value of his properties to secure loans from the bank.
It's apples and oranges.
As I said to someone else, if you think Trump did nothing wrong, create a Profit and Loss financial statement and over inflate what you made for the year, let's say you make it look like you netted $20 million in a year as an example. Now take that down to the bank and try and procure a $50 million dollar loan based on the fraudulent statement. It will land you in jail, and rightfully so. Trump, however, walks free with a fine.
