When you inflate the value of several properties over a 4 year period by as much as $500 million dollars to lenders than you do in the same tax year, it looks a bit sus. When your attorney testifies that you do so to inflate assets when it serves your purposes, as when trying to make Forbes' wealthiest list, and deflate them with the specific purpose to reduce taxes. And, the jury wasn't all democrats. --- MultiMail/Win v0.52 * Origin: http://realitycheckbbs.org | tomorrow's retro tech (1:218/1) .
