Now, the New York Times admits that reaching a proper valuation for Trump's buildings is a "guessing game."

[excalibur]

Yep, they said this. And their readers are too stupid to realize the duplicity. As well, the Times is too stupid to realize what they did here.

Does anyone read that bird cage liner anymore?

I can find blue suede shoes for about $50.... but Elvis's blue suede shoes are worth millions....

 

[pknopp]

30,000 square feet vs 11,000 square feet. That isn't even a valid "guess".

Yeah....but Trump's properties are different.

His properties aren't worth Fiddy Cents.

Square footage.

hahahaahahahahahhahhaa

Yeah, they realized that this is how such valuations have worked since the day people could take out loans on their property. Perhaps some of the owners at the NYT are concerned they may end up on the radar one day.

Oh holy shit you're stupid!

They're talking about how difficult it is because he has valued them all over the place depending on whether he needed them lower for taxes of higher for collateral.

Nobody got a valuation based upon 30,000 sq ft when it was actually 11,000 sq ft.

And the valuation games has rules, Trump violated them, and he get to pay his fines.

Excalibur is an idiot that the internet protects. Trumps bond was reduced, not the penalty. If he loses the appeal he very well may end up paying the 454 mil plus interest.

Why should that make it "a guessing game" for experts to value the properties?

They are experts- they should be able to come up with their own valuations independent of any valuation from Trump.

That's kind of what they get paid for after all...

Bullshit. Put them up for auction, market value is immediately realised.

When he loses the appeal. His lawyers were so weak they really didn't leave much to appeal on.

New york times are experts in property values?

The NYT tweet just said "experts say", they didn't claim to be experts themselves...

No moron, when he WINS the appeal. The appeals court judges have pretty much already said this is getting tossed. As have a bunch of previous judgements from Engomoron vs real estate developers. Your desperation and fear are obvious.

Many businesses have pulled out of NY since this. But, nothing is more important that getting the orange man.
