    Mar-a-lago cannot be valued using comparable residential or development properties. It cannot be used or sold as a residence, nor can it be developed in any way, ever, due to the conservation easements he signed in return for a huge tax break, and lower property tax rates. These restrictions - which exist in perpetuity - impact property value.

    Trump nonetheless valued Mar-a-lago as if it was an unrestricted property, using residential comparables, cherry-picked comparables that were not truly comparable, inflated comparable values by reducing the number of square feet/acres, and for good measure added 30%.

    It's possible someone might spend $300 - £1000 million on a property that can't be used as a home or developed, ever, costing an estimated $1 million in yearly maintenance, in return for a club generating about £25 million a year.

    But would anyone, really? For what?

    Ok clennan, we'll take your word for it instead of the specialist. I swear you guys would believe anything that somehow would make Trump look bad. Your problem is you won't listen to those that know. This is one scary judgement for anyone in real estate and if it doesn't get overturned NY real estate will face the fallout of this radical political partisan judge and wannabe prosecutor.

    Seriously, how can you possibly be an American and think this chick ran on getting trump by any means necessary. The feds looked into this and couldn't find a crime to charge, she couldn't find a crime to charge to crime, so they go with a money grab fraud charge that to your point you nor anyone else can come up with what it's really worth but everyone but absolute fools like this judge knows it's worth 100 to 300 times more than the partisan hack.

    There is no need to take my word for it.

    It is a fact that Mar-a-Lago is not a residential or development property. Therefore valuations as a residential or development property are not correct, expert or not.

    Yes, you read what the specialist had to say regarding an unrestricted residential property, which might well be correct if Mar-a-lago was an unrestricted residential property, which it isn't.

    I’m sure trump isn’t laughing out loud at the prospect of having to pony up half a billion.

    Yeah, this accusation stuck. He is being held accountable.

    More to follow.

    He has actually been found liable for fraud and defamation, and ordered to pay nearly half a billion.

    Yes, they had the proof for that.

    You may want to lol at that, but I suspect Trump isn’t laughing.

    He stated that he had that cash in his bank account so he lied but obviously you don't care that he lies all the time

    Business 101 never use your cash if you don't have too. This list of those that have 350m plus in cash is a pretty small group in NY, I'm sure he's looking at all his options and will end up getting it back. This is as frivolous as it gets.

    LOL clearly you have no clue about "business 101".! Cash in the bank gives the lowest returns. No doubt instead of him using his own money you'll be giving him your money?

    The point is that he testified, under oath, that he had 400 million cash available. Now his lawyers say he doesn’t have anywhere near that. Not that he would prefer not to use it - but that he doesn’t have it.

    Both of those things can’t be true. Either Trump lied under oath, or his lawyers are lying now. Which do you think is more likely?

    Well if you were as outraged about Bill's little lie about a BJ as you are this case I might sympathize a bit but Trump had it coming to him. All he had to do was tell the truth.

    Why does anyone care about what Trump may do in order to satisfy a financial obligation? Does it impact them?

    Trumpers love it when their icon lies .
    He’s fighting “the man” for them and lies about stuff they wish was true.

    Honesty and truth are overrated in the face of “fake news” and “alternative facts”.

    Did you know some jobs will hold financial issues like bankruptcy against you in the application process?
