The judge never valued his property. He stated that there are records indicating that MaL had been valued at 18M.
"Many others don't" oh ok there big hoss lmao
Not even 18, between 18 and 26 or 27ish. And apparently based on the fact that the property is essentially frozen as-is, that seems to make perfect sense lol
The prosecutor. They brought the charges. They cited the “market value” as those numbers. Trumps financials were under “fair market value”. They’re two distinct things. Keep trying to stand on someone else’s shoulders when you’re oblivious to the subject matter.
I think it's interdasting that you would criticize me for having a lay understanding of the subject matter, while simultaneously ignoring @panamaican and his very obvious and detailed professional expertise. Kinda makes it seem like you have no interest in approaching the subject out of good faith (which also tracks with your principal objection being based on personal incredulity lol).
He said it had restricted use. I never disputed that. We disagreed that the tax valuation was representative of the fair market value. They aren’t the same thing, cnn author and whoever they cited for their clearly liberal slant agree.
....and the fair market value is bracketed in by the various zoning, land use, and business regulations stipulated for that specific property. In this case, it is dramatic because the property is historic and comes with extremely onerous and restrictive rules that would prevent anyone from extending the value much beyond where it is already at.
You gonna regurgitate someone else’s work some more? Go argue with the cnn writer. I’m sure they’d love to hear from you.
Well I don't have a direct line to that CNN author so it might be a bit difficult, not that this appeal to authority has any merit anyway.
I never disputed he overvalued it. The prosecutor picked the tax assessed value and compared that to his “made up” fair market value to get the biggest bang for their buck on the headline. They would never match.
In this case, of course, they didn't just "not match", but were off by hundreds of millions of dollars lmao. His "made up" fair market value was indeed a total wild fabrication.
Again, that wasn’t my point. The prosecutor used an incorrect value and I pointed it out. Now cnn has an article on it saying just as much because I originally posted a NYpost article and ya’ll dummies came out of the woodwork telling me I was dumb. Good job you played yourself.In this case, of course, they didn't just "not match", but were off by hundreds of millions of dollars lmao. His "made up" fair market value was indeed a total wild fabrication.
The value range wasn't incorrect, it was an estimate. And based on the apparently numerous and stringent restrictions on the property, a reasonable one. You're desperately trying to a) create a distinction without a difference and then b) use it to undercut or ignore the entire basis for Trumps issues here. Oh the numbers were wrong, oh it's political, oh the prosecutors are exaggerating to make it all look worse than it is. No sane person thinks that property is worth less than a bazillion doll hairs. Bloobity blah blah blah.
It’s a tax assessed value. Are you dense? Oh wait you’re just using someone else’s words and passing it off as you’re own knowledge. How could I forget.
Saaaays the guy telling me to go fight it out with a CNN opinion piece author lol
No, you ignored that the Palm Countty assessment was the market value. I underlined it the first time I said it.
The GAAP fair market value (presumably what trump was using in a financial statement for bank purposes) would most likely not use a tax assessed fair value.
Trump lost a fraud case because the numbers he was putting on financial statements were not true. I don't care what he puts on the paperwork when he was lying on the paperwork, lol.
