This morning Don Jr. gave a 'marketing presentation' to the court about the Trump empire. It included a statement that 40 Wall Street was a 72 story

building. In reality, it's a 63 story building....

So, during their fraud trial for overstating the size and value of various properties they own, they overstated the size of their most important property?

I'm not sure this a the best road for their defense to travel down.

generally when you've been found liable for fraudulently inflating your property values to lender, you don't want to keep doing it in open court -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 13, 13:01

What’s interesting about this trial is that people seem to think that property developers accurately state the value of their properties. - Loyola Nov 13, 12:51 1
- For a loan, they valued it at 527mil…for taxes, they valued it at 16.7mil. — there’s fudging the truth and not being in the same realm of truth. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 13, 13:54
