    Somewhat like the Al Capone case, in that Capone was ultimately handled for tax evasion. Financial clamps can be the most successful.

      If all of this fuckery doesn’t involve some element of back taxes to be collected, I’d be extemely surprised. And the back tax clamping is a fuck you pay me type clamping for sure.

        He wasn’t charged with tax evasion, they charged him with over valuing his property values to get favorable loan rates. The lower tax evaluations were used against him.

          Understood. But if the Trump apparatus has been undervaluing illegally, and this is the first time evidence of it is front and center, it might catch the attention of the taxman. And that’s generally not attention most would want.

          Sadly I think the IRS would wait till after the election to avoid the appearance of trying to sway things in favor of the current administration. And even after, only pursue legal action if Trump doesn’t win. Fucking equal justice my ass.
