    You are are right about taxes, but that is not what he did. The government get to assign the value for property taxes and the property owner has the right to contest them. Also property taxes dont actually reflect the value of the property, and that gets very skewed on higher value properties.

    If you have things you think he did wrong then I can tell you why I disagree, but I cant just argue without being pointed in the direction you think I am wrong.

        And like I said, it was normal perfectly legal things. If you want to get more specific then feel free, or if you want a more in depth explaination feel free to listen to the evil billionaire that you hate for reasons.

          And like I said: “it was legal, trust me bro” is not a legal defense.

          If you want to get more specific then feel free

          The evidence and arguments presented by the prosecution. You should be well familiar with them seeing as you know the case so well.

            I already told you these things, you can claim your property is worth whatever you want, they said you cant. And as I already explained property tax does not reflect the actual value, they pretended it does.

            There you go, I just told you the states arguments but you keep not wanting to listen. But sure, it was totally not a targeted prosecution.

              He signed a legal business document saying “I believe the property is worth X”. I signed another legal business document saying “I believe the property is worth Y” (notably not X).

              Telling one person one thing and another person the opposite is textbook lying.

              Lying in signed legal documents is fraud.

              Your “knowledge” of the case clearly only comes from what Faux News has told you, which makes you less knowledgeable than someone who has been living under a rock.

                So then anyone that is selling their house for more than the property tax value is committing fraud? Great, now show me the tens of thousands of people that have done this that has been prosecuted.

                Check out this fraud! The property is listed at $43 million and the tax assessment is $1.1 million, the fraud is insane! This person is in New York, they can sieze all their assets!

                  None of the documents in the case have to do with selling the property.

                  If you were as familiar with the case as you claim you would know that. You would also be able to cite arguments from the case itself, not unrelated Red Herrings.

                    Even worse, they sold houses for more than the assessed value AND they had loans on them for more than the assessed value! That is double fraud! But I get it, you dont know what is going on so you will keep saying “BUT YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT THE CASE!!!” when you are the one that thinks applying for a loan and property tax values are the same.

                    And I see you didnt name anyone else in New York that has been convicted of this “FRAUD!!!”.
