The way i see it is the docs will get the DOJ a foot in the door to secure some accountability- but I have to believe that sedition and conspiracy related to jan 6th is where the DOJ is aiming for
and if the classified docs investigation provides some unknown evidence of some kind of actual espionage (trump using docs with foreign parties)
or some evidence to link the seditious conspiracy- then this is where DOJ would head to.
If no solid evidence arises- then -yes- the DOJ will just try to solidify the docs case.

Nope. I can't speak directly to Trumps details but property value when it isn't actually put up for sale to let the market determine the price is extremely ambiguous. I own several properties and protest the tax valuations every year when they come out. I hire professionals to do it. I don't get to set the values, a valuation board decides what the taxable value is. I am confident the real values of the properties are at least twice what the tax appraisals are and probably more. It is not fraud to put the estimated real value of the properties on your financial statement.
JamStone
09-22-2022, 07:34 AM
The fraud appears to come from a totality of his dealings, not just from the tax appraisals.
He sets the lowest valuations of his properties on his financial statements for lower tax purposes. But then he turns around and inflates those numbers as many as ten times (from the examples that have been publicly talked about) in statements to lenders to borrow money off the properties. Filing with the IRS a property valuation of $75 million only to tell a lender it’s worth $739 million in order to borrow off of it should not be standard practice. Even if it is standard practice, it still smells like criminal tax fraud. The discrepancy in numbers is too egregious.

That's not true. The conservation easement tax break is a federal program (that Trump has utilized a lot in the last decade) and the size of the tax break you get is tied to the value of the property you're granting the conservation easement on. That obviously involves reporting the value of the property to the IRS.
Here's an article with more detail about how Trump abused it:

I'm not defending Trump at all, but price to sales ratios of 30-1 are not at all unusual in the stock market, I don't know what a normal PS ratio for a private golf club is but Mar-A-Lago Lago as an ongoing business supposedly reports 25 million revenue per year. At the 75 million valuation claimed by Leticia James that would only be a 3-1 ratio which seems unreasonably low. 30-1 (which seems high to me) puts it at 750 million. Values on property are always ambiguous until they are actually sold and the price determined by the market.
Will Hunting
09-22-2022, 02:12 PM
Trump got a $21 million tax break for a conservation easement he granted on a property he only paid $7.5 million for :lmao
My tl;dr read on this whole thing is yes, the Trump defenders are technically right that everyone does this. You'd be hard pressed to find a real estate investor who doesn't push for the conservative appraisal method when dealing with a tax assessor while simultaneously trying to use the most aggressive appraisal method to get a bigger loan.
The catch though is that Trump seems like he's taken it to an extreme level with obvious fraudulent intent; furnishing bullshit information to appraisers, overtly misstating square footages, etc...there's limits to how much you can do this and Trump clearly went way overboard.

Cash flowing golf courses typically sell for around ~8x EBITDA (or a 12.5% cap rate in real estate terms).
Using a 30:1 price to sales ratio for a golf course (or any other type of real estate investment for that matter) is fucking absurd. The only way that would ever happen is if it was a highly distressed property that's mostly vacant (and thus has almost no sales) in which case it's not being valued on a price to sale basis but rather on a replacement cost basis.

There are no damages, the banks received full interest payments &, after years of receiving these payments & making a lot of money by such receipt, not to mention fees, the loans were paid off in full on or before the due date or, the loans are current and receiving full interest payments. Peekaboo James is a racist that is trying to get money for banks that are not entitled. She should focus on Murder, Rape, Drugs & other CRIME that is destroying New York.

There are no damages, the banks received full interest payments &, after years of receiving these payments & making a lot of money by such receipt, not to mention fees, the loans were paid off in full on or before the due date or, the loans are current and receiving full interest payments. Peekaboo James is a racist that is trying to get money for banks that are not entitled. She should focus on Murder, Rape, Drugs & other CRIME that is destroying New York. Rich banks don’t need her help!

That's not the American way."
James did not find a crime she could prosecute criminally, but she was able to fulfill her campaign promise to sue Trump. However, Dershowitz told host Tom Basile there is just no victim in what she has alleged.
Dershowitz admitted "I don't know" who the victim in this lawsuit against Trump is.
"Certainly, it's not the big banks," Dershowitz told Basile. "They have an obligation: If somebody wants to sell me a house, and he says it's worth $1 million and Zillow says it's worth $500,000, it's my obligation to check what it's worth. Banks have enormous resources to be able to check.
"Takes the big case that Letitia James focuses on: 40 Wall Street. Trump says it's worth half a billion. She says it's worth only a quarter of a billion. It's an easy issue to assess. You go and do the square footage. You figure out how much square footage is selling for in Wall Street at this particular point in time, and you do your own evaluation."
Even if there might be a issue on the tax audit, the case would be "daunting" for the government to prove wrongdoing, Dershowitz added.
"We'll see where the facts come out, but again, nobody should ever be targeted based on the fact that they may be running for president," Dershowitz said. "That's just wrong, and it would be just as wrong if they targeted Joe Biden or if they had targeted Hillary Clinton.

The Trump supporters ITT are kinda right with respect to all the "bank fraud" James is suing Trump over.
If Trump is getting sued over loans that the Trump org paid all the interest and principal on, I don't really understand where the damages come from or for that matter how there's even standing to sue him over it.
The only thing with teeth imo is Trump inflating property values on his taxes for purposes of things like the environment easement deductions he's taken, but that stuff is out of James' jurisdiction.

FRAUD is fraud…
you commit a crime - you have broken the law.
if you rob a bank, use the money to invest and make a yuge profit
say you steal 10 million- use it to gain 10 million more
then you go back to the bank with 20 million and return the 10 mil you stole
you dont get to go free and say “oh but no one got hurt”
this is just the same thing we have dealt with since trump the traitor arrived
two kids break a window - one black one white
black kid = criminal/delinquent-period.
white kid = bad parenting/ family issues/ bad childhood/ not really intentional/ psychological trauma
nope

Trump isn't getting prosecuted for committing any crimes. He's getting sued for common law fraud in a civil matter. There needs to be standing/damages for a civil suit.
"Oh but no one got hurt" is 100% a valid affirmative defense in a civil lawsuit.

Sure, people got hurt.
250 million is the conservative amount she has stated which will go up at trial - not counting more settlement offers by trump crime family.
The fraud he was consistently committing has already been established - the only thing to do now is to tally up the damages and/or settle for an amount that is consistent with the damages he caused.
The criminal referrals also play a part in any settlement going forward and here is where the AG has the upper hand.
Sure - trump can say - ok i will pay 250 mil since no one got hurt and she can counter with -
"250 mil might BEGIN to take care of SOME of the damages - but I will STILL refer your criminal offenses to the SDNY and the IRS"
and so the ongoing settlement negotiations will continue until the trump crime family pays the fair amount or not.

What you're describing simply isn't how common law fraud works in a civil setting. To sue someone for civil fraud, you need to be able to show that (among other things) you relied on their fraudulent misrepresentations and that said reliance was the proximate cause of damages you incurred. Whatever damages were incurred by the "people of New York" because they didn't get the breaks/opportunities/wealth/etc. that Trump got through fraud (still not even sure what you mean by that), their damages weren't PROXIMATELY caused by Trump's fraud.
But by all means, show me the legal precedent where Party A has standing to sue Party B for fraudulently obtaining a bank loan (that was paid on time and in full) from a bank that had no affiliation with Party A purely because Party A "did NOT get the same deals, the same tax breaks, the same tax pardons, the same valuations, the same loan deal rates" that Party B got through the bank fraud it perpetrated.
You're basically saying that I have standing to sue literally anyone who's ever committed bank fraud because I didn't get whatever benefits they got from the fraud they committed :lol

It could be that she has statutory authority to go after him and that's the basis for her suit; I still think it's not a great look that after a several years long investigation there aren't any criminal charges.

no criminal charges for two reasons

Chances are the interest and amortization period wouldn't change, just the loan amount, but regardless, everything you're describing would be opportunity cost/consequential damages and it would be a lot harder to demonstrate a proximate connection between said opportunity cost and whatever fraud Trump committed.

Although, in these cases, Trump's is less weird.
The video in question reportedly shows (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3259984-Trump-Intelligence-Allegations.html) Trump in the presidential suite at Moscow’s posh Ritz-Carlton Hotel, watching two prostitutes pee on a bed the Obamas supposedly slept in. The incident allegedly took place in 2013, when Trump was visiting Moscow to attend the Miss Universe pageant.
