I take a loan, as much as a bank will lend me, and repay it.
The bank cant tell me what do with the money.

I learnt a lot from your posts too but I will concede you are more tolerant than I am. Imagine our good friend basilico justifying criminality to support Trump. I know in Great Britain as a developed society, it's a crime to provide false details to obtain loans from Banks as it is in US because those funds deposited at those Banks are guaranteed by the Government in case they go out of business so that the account holders won't lose their money. Why should any legitimate businessman use a false pretense to obtain money from Banks that are federally insured. That's why the State will bring charges against the Fraudster known as Trump.
I thought you did business studies .
How do you value a brand and how much can Trump brand be loaned?

Basilico, you are an awful human being, really pathetic person if you think it's right to falsify real estate property documents, to engage your lawyers and auditors to lower prices of your condos and assets, then present them to a bank and say that's your real worth, when it's not. That is not right in any sense you low level man. Do you know how much work is put into trying to make up papers, legal documents, financial statements to reflect a false sense of what you are worth?
The motion of it all is just a criminal enterprise if you think about it. I can't believe i'm even writing a paragraph just to point it out to you that it's stupid, degrading, inhumane and a sin. Get lost please, you are just a miserable person.
You are an awful person. A loan is a loan and has to be paid back.
A bank has to do it's due diligence.
If a bank can lend you money enough to buy itself why not take the money and buy the bank.
Economics and money is not your forte.
To be real all you are doing is looking at Trump as a criminal potentially whereas other people do it all the time.

Don't mind Mr Arizona. He has no clue how things or business works in America. Trump is a Con Man and a Grifter and his Con game is coming home to Roost. Tell basilico the cultist that in America, you do not inflate your business worth to obtain a Bank loan and then depreciate your business worth when you file your taxes in order not to pay your fair taxes to IRS. These orange cultists just support anything Trump says without the use of their medulla.
I see no crime in inflating your worth to obtain a loan.A business that sells on perceived personified income does not have a market value.
Its a loan.

Stop being naive and let the numbers speak for themselves.

Everytime you revalue an asset, the unrealised gains/losses go into Other Comprehensive Income on the P&L and Revaluation Reserve on the Balance Sheet. The OCI is not taxable until the point they are realised ie upon sale of the asset. That is the tax fraud element they must be investigating, as well as expensing of capital items to reduce tax liability. His treatment of the Revaluation Reserve can also be subjected to scrutiny under the Sarbanes Oxley act as some of his companies were publicly traded.

The fact authorities are looking into his revaluation of assets suggests there's a possibility that upon sale of those assets, he did not true-up their value in his books from previously declared valuation, which potentially feeds into tax fraud. He may have also funnelled the realised profits upon sale into expense items such as commissions to his other companies etc rather than increasing his profits.

I'm not sure on the law regarding declaring differing valuation to two separate entities but an asset only has one valuation which is the carrying value recorded on the Balance Sheet. You may reduce or increase the asset value as you please based on any acceptable valuation methodology, but giving differing valuations to different entities may constitute financial injury to the Insurance companies for example. This is where the Insurance fraud and banking fraud comes in. I think this is the more likely outcome rather than tax fraud as any accountant should be able to justify his valuations to tax authorities as they are based on the audited books. Reporting different valuations to Insurers and Bankers is where criminal problems may arise.
At least you admit they are looking for a felony or crime.witchunt

What your brains find difficult to process is that you cannot accuse anyone based on assumptions. You require hard evidence. That you are unable to present evidence of something is not proof of fraud or crime. Even if you are caught m in a room with a dead person, you cannot be guilty of murder without the murder weapon, motif and opportunity.
How come even before the result of the audit report comes out, you are already 100% sure of widespread fraud. From where did you get your evidence? Then if you guys are really concerned about election integrity in the future, should you guys not request forensic audit of the whole elections? Why only large counties in swing states that Trump lost? If there were fraud in all those counties as alleged, don't you then think the same fraud would have happened in all counties in the US?
I hear you. You need evidence.
How as an outsider do you get the evidence from the fraudsters who perpetrated the fraud?
Forensic audit. Why are dems fighting audits?

How can the root cause of people dying be investigated when the Republicans resist any form of investigation. They have been looking at Trump's tax returns since he was sworn in in 2016, since he has been hiding his tax returns. It did not start on January 6th.

A lot of us has been ejaculating over Trump's indictment to come. We have been saying it for years, that he cannot escape the southern district of New York once he losses immunity.
We all knew for decades that he ran a criminal organization in the guise of a property development company from New York.
If you ever done business, you should be aware of machinations we use.
If I want a loan I will overvalue my business.
If I want a tax break I will expense my business to lower my profits.Thats not tax evasion but tax avoidance which is legal. If I make a profit of N300k selling you cockroaches Ill buy solar panels that will eat into the profits, still an asset though, but hey Im going green.
Bottom line, I take a loan, expand my business and REPAY the loan.
Trump has lawyers and accountants whom Joe Biden said yester that blacks lack.

F o r posterity's sake I am asserting once and for all that, there was no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 US elections. The only evidence of miniscule fraud that had been proven was perpetuated by Republican voters. Joe Biden won clear, fair and square with 81m votes.
Now if you have any evidence of fraud by Joe Biden or democrats in general, instead of assumptions, innuendos and conspiracy theories, present them for all to see.
Because you assert that there was no widespread fraud, And that's you by the way, should states like Arizona , Georgia Pennsylvania conduct a forensic audit. An audit checks whether protocols, rules and laws were followed, A forensic audit checks whether votes were counted OK, whether valid votes were correctly tabulated, whether votes were incorrectly credited to others, whether voters who were not in the rolls voted etc.

When I first came to this forum, the lab leak and Obama admin funding the research on this virus was one thing I argued about with folks here and my close family friend who hates trump. All those informations were readily available that Obama admin funded the research on Corona virus and also the lab leak. There were evidence I saw on a YouTube channel epochtimes I think. They have Chinese insiders who anonymously leak info out of China for them including videos.

I saw videos where the Chinese government weld the doors of citizens allowing them to starve to death or die from the virus. Bigtech YouTube went after this channel.
What infuriates me is how media invents lies about Trump, including this virus that has killed 3.5m people and cost trillions of dollars in losses. For what... Mostly to get rid of Trump.
Then we also have the googles , twitters and facebooks banning users for. saying what was supposed to have been public domain.
Including the Fauccis and media downplaying treatments like HCL because Trump promoted it.Initially patients were being kept alive to allow the body fight the disease With no drug specifically for covid-19.
The need to get Trump out was so great that i didnt matter how many had to die. The more dead the better

Another case of how media is evil. When Trump said the covid-19 came from a lab , media called him racist xenophobic .
See this video below Now its openly being accepted that the virus was made more potent in Wuhan lab.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=841Maa7ugSw

Still on the Wuhan virus Its now confirmed that Dr Faucci allowed funding of gain of function research through an org that later passed on the research funds to WIV
The president of that Ecohealth Alliance has emails to Dr Faucci thanking him for pushing the theory that the virus came from wet market.

As early as 2018 US State Department officials warned about safety risks at the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab on scientists conducting risky tests with the bat coronavirus.
US officials made several trips to the Wuhan laboratory.

But a video has surfaced from December 2019 of WHO official Peter Daszak admitting to coronavirus manipulation at the Wuhan Lab before the pandemic was announced.

The video interview was originally filmed on December 9, 2019. A copy was posted in May 2020.

The video was recorded at the Nipah Virus international conference in Singapore on December 9 and 10, 2019.

At 29:52 mark of the video the WHO official says, “coronaviruses are pretty good… you can manipulate them in the lab pretty easily… the spiked proteins drive a lot about what happens. You can get the sequence you can build the protein, we work with Ralph Baric at UNC to do this, insert into the backbone of another virus and do some work in a lab.”


The same Peter Daszak above of Ecohealth Alliance was part of WHO team investigating the orgin of covid-19.

An email from Peter to Dr Faucci below and Dr Faucci. They knew what they were upto in Wuhan.
To make it worse, the media used the wuhan to paint Trump in a bad light over his claims about its origin.And under Dr Faucci leading the WH team
When does a fox guard chicken?

Clocked one year today that the orange turd held a Bible upside down in front of a church.
Either you know what you are doing or you simply believe the lies media put.
Media lies. Even Joe Biden lied.
If you only put a lil bit more effort you would not be spreading such blatant lies. The lies are meant to be for those who believe without verification.

Here is New York Times


During a town hall on CNN on
Thursday night, Joseph R. Biden Jr.
revived a debunked viral falsehood
about President Trump’s much-
criticized photo-op in
Washington’s Lafayette Square in
June.
“A president stands out there when
people are peacefully protesting in
front of the White House,” Mr.
Biden, the Democratic presidential
nominee, said. “He gets the
military to go in for tear gas, move
people physically, move them out
of the way so he can walk across to
a Protestant church and hold a
Bible upside down.”
Video and photographs clearly
show that the Bible wasn’t upside
down, as fact checkers at PolitiFact
and Snopes have noted. But that
hasn’t stopped the claim from
spreading on social media, an
example of how speculation on the
internet can morph into a zombie
claim that refuses to die.

America is one of the most liberal societies and a World Superpower.

Face your life, let others face their life in peace.

In your state of poverty, some of you conservatives will open nyash for a gay man for just N10m.
Far left progressives are marxists.
