I just gets worse. It is hard being a criminal enterprise when living in the fish bowl of the Presidency. It is all falling apart.
I have no doubt the value went up because of the bigly value of the Trump brand.
Like father, like kids. Just look at how they misrepresented the Trump Soho condo yet they weren’t prosecuted by the Manhattan district attorney.
As an related aside this past weekend I went shopping for a new car, something I’ve never done in the past. I was prepared to just write a check but it had to be certified because as we all know from the Hastert case and money laundering cases any cash payment over $10k is flagged by the IRS. I couldn’t get to the bank to have it certified so I went for the financing which was at a decent rate. If only the IRS and banks was as thorough with the Trumps.
Other than some details, what’s new? wasn’t this already widely reported two years ago?
This was only two buildings. Trump Org has what, 500 different sub-corporations?
He really seems like a bust-out artist, only on a slightly larger scale than most.
Is the Fraud Guaranteed?
Getting a conviction is harder than it appears.
I’m reminded of the MAS*H television episode where Frank Burns, the unprincipled surgeon, fearful he’s going to die, sends a message to his wife that his financial situation can be found in the RED ledger. “Not the GREEN one I show the government.”
Your statement is worth repeating and rereading. Balls were dropped for decades, and now, here we are. 
Reminds me (again) of what happened to US corporations in Cuba after the Revolution.
The Castro government decided to nationalize their assets and offered to pay a certain amount as compensation.
“Much too low!” howled the corporations. “Ridiculous!”
“Daylight robbery!” agreed American diplomats, when apprised of the situation.
But the Cubans replied: “Well, we think the evaluations are fair, and so do you: they are the numbers you used when you filed your taxes last year.”
Talking of Trump buildings
We now have a connection between Parnas and the Trump family that started decades ago. And that connection is Parnas selling Trump-branded condos.
Why,oh why has Trump fought so hard to conceal his returns while claiming everything is copacetic? Four words…many versions of fraud…
I can’t recall who it was who said it, but I nearly choked laughing when the mug shots of Parnas and Fruman came up on the screen and the audio intoned, “Instead, Rudy dealt with these two thumb-breakers from Central Casting.”
All I have to say is Barr better nail down this president for life gig or come up with an “original intent” justification for not indicting past presidents, because I don’t see Trump staying out of jail once he’s gone from office. I don’t even really believe President Ivanka would pardon him.
Funny, but as detailed and confusing real estate tax docs can be, I had no doubt that the variances between what they told the state/Fed’l gov. and lenders would be so large that one didn’t need to be a NYS tax expert to figure out the graft.
Put another way, tax cheats always do it up big time since chiseling just a few $ here and there makes little sense. It’s the old go big or go home plan and no doubt Trumpy told everyone to go big…or get fired.
“The fraud makes me smart!”
Corrupt friends in high places. Rudy Giuliani, Cy Vance.
Bwahahahahahahahahha!!!
