This fall, after years of investigation and legal back-and-forth, former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial is underway in Manhattan. Attorney General Letitia James has accused the Trump Organization of falsely inflating the value of its assets and net worth so that lenders, insurance companies, and the general public would look more favorably on it. One particularly egregious example was Trump representing the size of his Trump Tower penthouse at 30,000 square feet when it is actually just over one-third of that.
Ivanka Trump is set to testify today, and her father and adult brothers have already testified. Their testimony ranged from denying everything to arguing that real estate valuations are different from those in other businesses to ranting about the unfairness of the judge, the attorney general, and the trial. But others have acknowledged fraudulent practices and false figures; some legal experts have pointed out that the former president might have unwittingly confirmed that his company’s financial representations were to sway lenders; and Attorney General James has said that “the numbers don’t lie.”
In this article:
Attorney General James has asked that the Trump Organization pay a hefty fine and be barred from doing business in New York. If this came to pass, all relevant assets would be placed under the control of a court-appointed receiver, whom Axios notes would operate much like the executor of an estate, managing the properties and selling them when needed; the former president would not be involved. These include Trump Tower and Trump Park Avenue, two residential properties that still bear the Trump name and are still owned by the Trump Organization.
Against this backdrop, an apartment at Trump Tower (not the falsely inflated penthouse, though) had its price slashed from $3.95 million to $2.59 million, and a condominium at Trump Park Avenue experienced a $1 million price reduction. These are among the 288 sales listings throughout New York City that experienced price cuts from November 1-7, 2023.
