He specifically lied when he claimed an 11K square foot apartment had an area of 30K square feet.
You cannot escape responsibility for obeying the law by acknowledging that you might not be obeying the law. Do you seriously think that you can fill out a false tax return and get away with it if you write “This might not be my actual income, it’s up to the IRS to verify”. Judge Engoron basically laughed that argument out of court.
Trump will almost certainly apply for more loans before he dies. After this judgment, hopefully he will fill out those applications truthfully.
Thank you for finally getting specific. The apartment probably included unfinished garage space, but why do you think that would change the valuation much? Why didnt the loan company verify the information which is literally part of their due diligence?
Your whole case behind giving a fine of 400 million or so is based on a difference of about a million in appraised value change, which apparently the bank didnt even care about.
Are you suggesting that lying on a document is legal if others can figure out the truth? That’s not how the law works, at all.
Try reporting an income of $0 on your taxes this year. An obvious lie, but the IRS probably already knows your income. They probably even already collected your taxes. Nevertheless, you will face consequences.
If you claim a thing that is defensible and say that its up to the other person to verify it, then its just part of how things work. The real question is why do you care what agreement two parties come to and are happy about the outcome?
The IRS is different than a bank, and income is different than appraised value.
