Eric denies the $422M sale ever happened. “Asinine”
Palm Beach Daily News: Report: Eric Trump denies Mar-a-Lago has been sold after Zillow reports a $422M sale
Although the real estate website Zillow had reported that former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach changed hands for $422 million Aug. 4, the Palm Beach Daily News has been unable to immediately confirm the sale through Palm Beach County courthouse and property records or state business filings.
Trump's son Eric Trump on Friday released a statement denying the sale to Newsweek, which reported the Zillow listing.
No reports from Zillow that they were hacked.
(Catch-22: if you’re getting warnings from the admins that your diary is incorrect while you’re in the editor, it doesn’t let you edit the diary to fix it.)
Update1 8/25/23 12:08pm :
Zillow’s website no longer shows the sale. That’s strange.
Here’s what it used to show.
Original Story :
The-Express.com
It appears Donald Trump may have merely transferred the ownership of his Mar-a-Lago estate to his son not long before his arrest, according to online property records.
<snip>
Documents state the property is owned by an organization, and the owner of that organization is Donald Trump Jr.
Since this took place (August 4th, 2023) before being booked in Georgia yesterday, TFG stating his address as “1100 S Ocean Blvd, Palm Beach, FL 33480” is funny.
Looking at Zillow, it shows that the property was sold on 8/4/2023 for $422,000,000 (approximately 17.5 times what Zillow thinks it is worth).
So is this a “loan” from his idiot eldest son, or preparation for Don Jr’s upcoming bankruptcy? What bank financed this new debt? Is this a way to hide assets?
Was it simply a property transfer to his son?
(My theory: this a way to keep Melania from owning it.)
Are property taxes due because of the “sale?”
