Complete left-wing BS.

Since when do banks take the word of any real investor regarding the value of their real estate?

The bank would have an in house appraiser make the determination of the value, or hire someone independent to make that appraisal for them.

Complete political bullcrap.

I can absolutely envision a scenario where an appraised value of a property is much higher than its insured value.

Trump is accused of falsely claiming the amount of square footage in his properties, especially his personal suites. Then using those inflated values to secure loans. I'm not sure that's criminal, but it should be pretty much accepted how much square footage a suite has, should it not?

BS. If he had sone that, they would have found it out years ago when they were trying to keep him out of the presidency.

people (lawyers, libs and AA) who do not own Real Estate in NYC should not meddle. If they haven’t gone through the steps of getting a loan using a building as collateral, then they should shut up. The laws are so twisted. There are so many fees and paperwork that a lot contradict themselves. Mostly it is how the property assessments are done.

Trump is innocent.
NYC government is guilty.
case closed.

"Embellished appraisals are now a capital crime. Ridiculous."

Funny. It is the government that embellishes just so they can tax more. They decided what your income is even though you have proof you don't. Try to fight that! Impossible!

Alan Dershowitz has said that DJT will surely find justice in the Federal appeals courts.

Not a chance this decision will survive appeal, largely because the banks were completed discharged on their loans WITH INTEREST and very satisfied with Trump as a customer.

KANGAROO COURT.

A more detailed article states that he overvalued Trump Tower. I’ve been to Trump Tower, rode up the escalator. In my opinion, he undervalued it. Fabulous building in terrific location.

And what the heck does a judge know about monetary values?

Thanks for posting this, TexasGator.

The last 10 paragraphs of the CNN link are VERY helpful with the legal issues and New York legal policy.

Speaking personally, I am ALWAYS interested to learn about the strategy and deceptions of my political opponents.

As someone who works in the residential mortgage industry for a living, I’ve found it to be VERY commonplace that an insurer’s replacement cost estimate on a given property is valued lower than the actual market price (especially when you get to properties valued in the upper six digits to the lower seven digits, at least in my experience).

Re: "CNBC - Always the rat spin"

If you do not know how the Democrats are spinning, how do you plan to throw a consequential counter punch?

I guarantee the Democrats have a half dozen well paid political professionals who read every comment, on every post, on every day, at Free Republic.
