Stop saying that Jon Stewart did the same thing as Trump did when he "over valued his property." He did not. Not even close. Jon Stewart simply sold his property for much more than it was assessed at. That's it. In 2014, he sold his duplex for $17.5 million, while the 2013-2014 assessor records showed it was assessed at $847,164 - $1.882 million. The actual assessor valuation was even lower, at $847,174. He didn’t lie about the value to make more money. Trump's fraud lawsuit centered on allegations that Trump and the Trump Organization misrepresented the value of their assets on financial statements used for loans and tax benefits. The lawsuit argued that Trump inflated the value of his assets to secure loans and insurance benefits and deflated them to reduce tax liabilities. It's not fraud to sell a property for more than the city says it's worth. It is fraud to knowingly inflate the value of your property on paper in order to maximize loans you could obtain, while also deflating the value in order to save money elsewhere. Stop comparing apples to orange men.
@EdKrassen Who got defrauded Ed? What possible relevance does Mir A Lago or Bedford have to a NY AG? Btw, does the Collier County tax assessor allow you to decide what taxable value your house has?
@EdKrassen Stewart was paying taxes on 850K when his place was allegedly worth around 18M. He paid significantly lower property taxes which were calculated based on the market price value. This is exactly what he called Trump out for in his most recent monologue.
@EdKrassen Trump did nothing wrong… No crime, no victim.
@EdKrassen Why can’t I see Daily Show on Paramount anymore? It stopped posting episodes over a week ago.
@EdKrassen Trump didn't overvalue his property, that's ridiculous and you freking know it
