It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged. - The Cleveland Press, March 1, 1921, GK Chesterton
Your original statement was:
"Yeah the reason bank gave him a loan is because he over valued his asset. These were well known even before he was running for pres.
Of course Cool aid drinker think that is fake news.
If I LIE to a bank that my tiny little property is $100m to secure $20m loan, I would end up in ....."
Did the bank give him a loan? From the article, no.
Did any bank give him a loan based on overvalued assets? Did any bank do so without 3rd party appraisal/verification?
Values are a weird thing. If we consider market value to be whatever someone will give for X product/service, then why don't we consider loanable value to be whatever a bank would give a loan for, with something as collateral?

At the level we're talking about, all the regular "rules" go out the window.
There's an old saying I've always liked:
"If you owe the bank Ten Thousand dollars and can't pay, YOU have a problem.
If you owe the bank a Hundred Million Dollars and can't pay - the BANK has a problem."

If you love your freedom, thank a veteran. If you love to party, thank the Beastie Boys. They fought for that right.

They sure did just before the 2008 crash.
Not all loans come from banks. Not sure if that applies at that level though.
