A question about Trump's real estate fraud judgement

If he was cheating so much on his NY property evaluations, wouldn't he have been doing the same on his properties outside NY? How long before prosecutors in other states and countries take a hard careful look at what he claimed those properties to be worth?

Scotland was going to look into where he got the money for his golf course there, but I guess they let it slide.

Although DeSantis might see an investigation for fraud as a way to try to damage Trump.

priced way underwater, why? With this in the news constantly why has the local governing body been so slow to look into accurate pricing of these properties? In MO, we get a heads up every 10 years (it may be a shorter interval of time) of our properties' appraisals and of course, if we wish to appeal the new appraised value(s), we can.

So either someone was bribed at the offices of those entities where tRUMP properties are located at, or something fishy going on.

They don't have to be located in nys. Mal for example is a trump org property (yes, he xfered it to Jr, but it will be clawed back).

Don't know about Bedminster specifically, but I suspect it is as well.

5. Because the bankers and actuaries winked at him and let bad deals go through

They were not above bilking their own companies...big bonuses for closing the deal were on the line. If they turned him down, he would just find another banker who WOULD make the loan. The risks they quietly took on for their investors were outweighed by the personal gains realized.

They also feared the retribution he would unleash in the business community if they did not make the deals. He is a mobster...not a businessman!
