I understand the need to downplay the situation, then make a case against the downplayed scenario, but what you describe is not the situation.
The case isn't about an accountant making a mistake on a loan applications. We are talking high finance involving millions, hundreds of millions of dollars and the persistent fraudulent and illegal business practices of FPOTUS#45 and the Trump organization and purposefully lying on annual documents as part of those business transactions.
And no, you can't include a "Hey I'm lying to you clause" and call it even as that is worthless. Organizations are STILL required to use generally accepted accounting principals in creating the Statement of Financial Conditions which means you don't get to:
- Triple the size of properties over reality (Trump Tower penthouse),
- Value properties as those if those properties had buildings on them that didn't exists (Seven Springs),
- Value properties as if they were not rent stabilized (New York apartments) when in fact they were rent stabilized lowering their values
- Value property as if it was sub dividable and purposed for residential when in fact the property was deed limited to commercial use as a social club and could not be subdivided into smaller lots for sale and that the main property could not be developed in other ways because the existing buildings are classified as state and federal historic buildings.
That is not an accountant making a mistake, those are persistent and planned fraudulent activities.
