basing its valuation on the sale of a single nearby building described in the press as setting a new world record. Doing so generated a value in 2015 that was more than $170 million higher than the previous year’s value, nearly $250 million higher than the following year’s value, and $75 million higher than the value derived in any other year using the NOI divided by capitalization rate method.

Because it's the bigger picture... how much tax dollars were stolen from the public by the people Weisselberg enriched?
Again, this isn't specifically about Donald Trump, I made that quite clear in my literal, first post in this thread.
I would never invest in New York now: Kevin O'Leary
O'Leary Ventures Chairman Kevin O'Leary discusses the impact of Trump's fraud ruling on business owners as New York Gov. Kathy Hochul attempts to quell fears.
Ivanka Trump’s Apartment (Penthouse A & Penthouse B) at Trump Park Avenue Ivanka Trump’s rental agreement for a penthouse apartment (Penthouse A) in the Trump Park Avenue building included an option to purchase the unit for $8,500,000. But in the 2011 and 2012 Trump Organization statements, this exact unit was valued at $20,820,000 — approximately two and a half times as much. For the 2013 statement, the unit was valued at $25,000,000 — nearly three times the option price.
Starting in June 2014, Ivanka Trump was given an option to purchase a different, larger unit (Penthouse B) for $14,264,000. That unit was valued at more than three times as much on the 2014 statement — at $45 million on the 2014 statement. In that year, Ivanka Trump’s option to purchase the unit at a steep discount off of the value in the statement was included in a lease in which she was charged a rental payment substantially below the market rent for similar units in the same building. After being repeatedly told by an accountant that it was inappropriate to use the higher value rather than the option price, the Trump Organization used the $14,264,000 value for Penthouse B in the 2015-2020 statements. Despite this correction, this figure was still inaccurate for multiple statements however, because in 2016, an amendment to the lease lowered the purchase price option for Ivanka Trump even lower to $12,264,000.

For the organization to not get involved in sketchy dealings?
Is that a bad thing to advocate?

In the case of Ivanka buying real estate based on options you can't value a property at anything you want.
I gave a full spread you cab go through, it's not as cut and dry as just making up a price and selling it on the market.
It's more complicated than that.

What's fabricated? The law?
I mean, deep down yea it is. But I guess follow it, or pay the price. Sorry "your guy" is the head of a company that didn't follow the laws
Both don't matter? Committing tax fraud and pleading guilty doesn't matter?
It seems everyone here is completely ignoring it.
