Basebf555 posted:It's pretty much the basis for his entire tax strategy. Slap your name on the front of a building/property, claim it has an extremely inflated value due to the cache of your "brand", then when you sell it for much less than the valuation, claim it as a loss on your taxes. Then you can use those so-called "losses" to avoid paying millions of dollars of taxes. That doesn't really work on taxes, that's more about fooling the bank into giving you more loans.

emfive posted:I believe you PFC, we did the same thing when me moved to handle the triplets and fixed up the old house to a nicer state than it had been in when we lived there. Nice young people bought it. Yeah we sold to a nice young couple and then it turned out it was their dad from out of state that was buying it, which, OK, cool, but then they flipped the place and made bank so, who knows?

Hatebag posted:yeah art is a big way that rich people do all kinds of scams and money laundering because there's so much squishy money they can hide crimes all day. entertainment venues/theaters, bars/restaurants, record stores, etc can all be used to hide money pretty easily Also any time they spend money it can be counted as a 'loss' which is offset against their income. Don't try this at home though, you'll be turbo-audited.

Hatebag posted:france gave them a nuclear reactor but all of nato gave them bits and pieces they needed to manufacture nukes including the us letting a bunch of spies study under fermi, the germans providing plans to israeli spies, norway giving deuterium. britain and america providing additional information. basically jusy a bunch of nato countries leaving nuke blueprints around israeli spies and then conspicuously going to the bathroom saying "boy, i hope nobody takes pictures of my nuke plans while I'm making GBS threads!" Also IIRC that's how they acquired the highly enriched uranium, they never managed to enrich their own.

emfive posted:well genetic or not, it's hard to overstate the "risk averse" thing. Forever, and almost up to the present day (they're almost 26), walking into a store or restaurant with my kids means that they either have to be told to open the door, or else we open it, and then they walk in and immediately stop, like they're on a Star Trek away mission. Dang that's wild. I walked out of the room once and a minute later when I came back my daughter was sitting on top of the bookshelf. She's 8 now and she literally climbs the walls for fun.

Asproigerosis posted:Trump decamped to Mar-a-Lago after leaving the White House in January and has maintained the club as his official residence ever since, but some Palm Beach residents argued he is not allowed to do so under an agreement that stipulates club members cannot stay there for more than seven consecutive nights or 21 days per year. Hmm, if an employer provides housing to an employee it is considered taxable income *unless* the housing offered is only for the benefit of the employer. How much do you want to bet Trump doesn't pay taxes on that benefit?

emfive posted:They're called (interchangeably and randomly) either "Mafaldine" or "Reginette". They're named after a princess of the House of Savoy, Mafalda, who had long wavy hair. The House of Savoy (Sardegna-Piemonte) was the power that drove the Risorgimento that unified Italy in the 1860s, driving out the Austrians and severely containing the Papal influence on the peninsula. (The story of that is almost unbelievable; if CSPAM had been around during that process it would have been the most epic era of posting ever, and possibly the most epic era possible.) Ok grandpa we get it, you and your buddies betrayed democracy in exchange for nationalism.
