0:00.0 | All right, Alexander, let's discuss the Trump legal case in New York, where he has been found guilty in New York for his asset valuations. |
0:30.3 | All right. What if... Well, where did you begin? all right what well what to begin I guess I guess putting it very simply they're saying that he committed fraud to the banks by overvaluing his assets and thus received loans on overvalued properties. |
0:40.2 | I've never heard of a bank in my life that has not done its due diligence or is not contracted |
0:46.8 | somewhere that doesn't have partners to do due diligence on businesses or high net worth |
0:53.1 | individuals before they enter into some sort of a loan or cooperation with that person. |
0:59.0 | But what are your thoughts on this? |
1:02.0 | Well, can I just say I have been involved in this kind of thing, and I find this one of the oldest cases, one of the most bizarre cases I've ever encountered. |
1:16.0 | First of all, it's important to say that Trump has repaid all the loans that we're talking about. |
1:22.5 | So it's not as if any of the banks which we're talking about have been actually have lost any money on any of this. |
1:28.3 | As far as I also understand it, the complaints didn't actually come from the banks themselves. Thirdly, the judge is placing, as far as I can understand, all of Trump's assets in New York, into receivership. |
1:38.3 | Now, receivership, as far as I'm aware, this is the case in Britain, happens when someone is bankrupt or business is insolvent. |
1:48.7 | How can we talk about insolvency or bankruptcy in a situation |
1:53.8 | where all the loans have been repaid? |
1:56.4 | I mean, again, it doesn't make any kind of sense to me. |
2:00.5 | I mean, it seems to me most bizarre. |
2:02.6 | But the thing that is most bizarre of all is that the judge says that Trump inflated the value of his properties, |
2:14.9 | and perhaps on a sliding scale, he was generous in his estimate of some of the |
2:21.0 | valuations of his properties which isn't unusual if everybody who did that kind of thing |
2:26.0 | were charged with fraud well an awful lot of people who own properties and who sought loans |
2:32.3 | might find themselves you know in prison or worse. |
2:35.8 | But anyway, having said that about Trump, on the one property which one can talk about with some |
2:43.5 | degree of confidence, which is Mar-a-Lago, the judge has given a valuation, which is far lower than, you know, the overvaluation that he's |
