re: Jon Stewart overvalued his NYC home by 829%; he said Trump’s civil case as not victimless

Yes. As much as I love seeing Steweart hoist on his own petard, it isn't really the same. Trump didn't have 3rd party buyers with their own money saying "this is what it's worth, so here's money equal to that".

The hypocrisy comes around the tax piece. Nothing Stewart did was "illegal" - but it's not a great look to ride these low tax assessments and then bitch about other people's harms.

The bank's underwriters approved the loan. That's on them for accepting Trump's properties' values. ANd the loan was repaid all the same.
That is still not the same as Stewart. Stewart didn't have to make up any figures. Whereas Trump literally lied on a form. I'm sure that's illegal and I'm sure the forms say that's illegal. That does not excuse or make me care about the bank, but it's simply a different act than selling a house.

Yes he did. They testified on his behalf in this very case

AFTER he lied about the amount. In Stewart's case, there was no figure. The house just sold. Now, if Stewart had said to his buyer "here, I have an appraisal that I did which says the value is x" AND he had given the appraiser false info which was incorporated, that would have been much closer to the same thing.

The Trump thing is stupid and a political witch hunt, but it's just not the same thing. I'd rather call Stewart out on real stuff not fake stuff.

Nobody is seriously calling Stewart out for criminality or civil liability. That's not the point at all. The point is to try and get someone to explain how the thing that Trump did is tortious while simultaneously explaining how what Stewart and millions of other people did/do isn't.

He had 3rd party lenders that did exactly that.

“The attorney general of New York knew that Trump’s property values were inflated because when it came time to pay taxes, Trump undervalued the very same properties,” Stewart added.
Good God Almighty! Some people really are financial imbeciles! Since when does the owner determine Tax Valuation? Are these people living in Oz or down the Wonderland Rabbithole?

Makes me giggle thinking of all the progressives being gaslit to believe they might be sued by the state if their tax assessed value is lower than what it says on Zillow.

If the dims didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

Besides, it's totally (D)ifferent for Stewart. He needed that extra money for adrenochrome and more Etatist campaign donations, so it's cool.

I wish I could set the value that my taxes would be calculated on.

Are you assuming Stewart paid cash for this property? Are you assuming Stewart has never taken out a loan for a residence or investment property? You’re making a distinction without a difference. The point is there is absolutely nothing wrong with using appraised value over assessed value when applying for a loan. Stewart clearly disagrees. Hypocritically.

This is just not related to the thread at all. The NYP article is about him selling a property for $17M that was appraised for but a fraction. He didn't make up the $17M figure - it was given to him by the market.

Trump had an appraisal for the ultra high values he gave the bank?

Oh my god. Why are you going out of your way to make up scenarios? Again, none of that is what happened in the sale of Stewart’s apartment? Why do you feel the need to reach?

A loan was given based on an inflated (relative to assessed) value. Is that or is it not actionable? Should the person who bought Stewart's house be sued for applying for and obtaining a loan for more than the home's value? Should Stewart be sued for obtaining such an incorrect appraisal during the selling process, assuming he went through the very common process of selling a home?

What does ultra high mean here? Are you comparing it to the valuations provided by James? In other words, you believe MAL's value is $18 million?

Of course it does. Stewart said using appraised value over assessed value is fraudulent. Stewart has, at least once, purchased an expensive piece of property. Do you honestly think he doesn’t know the difference and has never in his life done the same exact thing? You have to really twist your neck to miss the point here. Yet here we are. We arent in a court of law trying to find some distinction to get to some reasonable doubt. We are discussing a talk show host clearly being a hypocrite.

Of course he did. Are you unfamiliar with the case? And what makes you say they are ultra high?

You have no idea what the discussion is even about. It went over your head.

Oh my. The only way you can save any face is if you claim complete ignorance and you didn’t know the difference between appraised value and assessed value. I promise you Stewart does.
