Revelations of financial fraud by Trump
特朗普財務欺詐行為遭曝光
Last week the New York District Court ruled that former US President Donald Trump had long been inflating the value of his assets to obtain benefits on bank loans, insurance premiums and tax.
近日，美國紐約地方法庭裁定，美國前總統特朗普長期通過夸大資產價值，獲取銀行貸款、保險費以及稅收優惠等。
According to an investigation report provided by New York State Attorney General Letitia James, Trump ignored or sidelined experts and relied on intuition to evaluate assets.
根據紐約州總檢察長詹姆斯提供的調查報告，特朗普經常無視專家的數據，靠直覺夸大資產價值。
In 2011 and 2012, the Trump Organization claimed that a dozen Trump Park Avenue condominiums in New York were valued at $50 million.
2011年和2012年，特朗普集團表示紐約某處十幾套公寓的估值為5000萬美元。
However, in 2020, this valuation was changed to $136 million; the investigation said that the true value should be $84.5 million.
而2020年卻改為1.36億美元，調查指出，2020年該公寓的真實估值僅為8450萬美元。
When Trump needed to value his Trump Tower apartment in 2010, he personally showed an appraiser around the unit for 15 minutes but ushered him out before the expert could take any measurements.
2010年特朗普集團為旗下公寓估值，特朗普親自帶估價師在樓內參觀了15分鐘，當估價師準備測量公寓面積時被轟了出去。
Trump’s company then declared that the 11,000-square-foot unit measured 30,000 square feet, nearly three times its actual size.
特朗普集團隨后宣布公寓面積為3萬平方英尺，而實際為1.1萬平方英尺。
The report also said that Trump had provided non-professional financial statements to business partners and the statements were created by an entry-level employee a few years out of college with no professional accounting training.
報告指出，特朗普曾向商業伙伴提供非專業財務報表，制作報表的竟是一位剛從大學畢業、未受過專業會計培訓的職場新人。
Trump at one point pretended to be a fake company spokesman named “John Barron” to push Forbes to raise its estimate of his net worth as part of the magazine’s regular rankings of wealthy individuals.
此外，特朗普還曾假扮集團發言人，以“約翰?巴倫”的假名要求《福布斯》雜志提高富豪排行榜上特朗普的身價。
After the court hearing on October 2, Trump told the media that he had done nothing wrong and that James’ investigation and lawsuit against him were entirely “political operations” aimed at damaging his presidential campaign.
10月2日的庭審結束后，特朗普對媒體表示他沒有做任何錯事，詹姆斯對自己的調查和訴訟完全是“政治操作”，目的是破壞其總統競選活動。
