Revelations of financial fraud by Trump
特朗普财务欺诈行为遭曝光
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，美国纽约地方法庭裁定，美国前总统特朗普长期通过夸大资产价值，获取银行贷款、保险费以及税收优惠等。
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.
根据纽约州总检察长詹姆斯提供的调查报告，特朗普经常无视专家的数据，靠直觉夸大资产价值。
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，特朗普集团表示纽约某处十几套公寓的估值为5000万美元。
However, in 2020, this valuation was changed to $136 million; the investigation said that the true value should be $84.5 million.
而2020年却改为1.36亿美元，调查指出，2020年该公寓的真实估值仅为8450万美元。
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年特朗普集团为旗下公寓估值，特朗普亲自带估价师在楼内参观了15分钟，当估价师准备测量公寓面积时被轰了出去。
Trump’s company then declared that the 11,000-square-foot unit measured 30,000 square feet, nearly three times its actual size.
特朗普集团随后宣布公寓面积为3万平方英尺，而实际为1.1万平方英尺。
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.
报告指出，特朗普曾向商业伙伴提供非专业财务报表，制作报表的竟是一位刚从大学毕业、未受过专业会计培训的职场新人。
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，特朗普还曾假扮集团发言人，以“约翰?巴伦”的假名要求《福布斯》杂志提高富豪排行榜上特朗普的身价。
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日的庭审结束后，特朗普对媒体表示他没有做任何错事，詹姆斯对自己的调查和诉讼完全是“政治操作”，目的是破坏其总统竞选活动。
