Exclusive | Jon Stewart benefited by 829% ‘overvalue’ of his NYC home even as he labels Trump’s civil case ‘not victimless’

Jon Stewart is facing online backlash after saying Donald Trump’s case overvaluing his properties was “not victimless,” and sleuths found his own records.

Market dynamics and real estate values
It's important to note that Stewart's sale of his Tribeca penthouse for $17.5 million, a figure significantly above the estimated market value of $1.882 million as appraised by the city of New York, doesn’t necessarily equate to an overvaluation on his part.

What it likely reflects is the dynamics of real estate transactions where the ultimate sale price is determined by what a buyer is willing to pay at a given time. In this instance, the buyers, financier Parag Pande and filmmaker Ritu Singh Pande, evidently saw value in the property to justify their investment at that price point at that time.

Nevertheless, this transaction turned out to be advantageous for Stewart, given the substantial difference between the sale price and the city's valuation.

However, the narrative extends beyond this successful sale. Subsequently, as reported by real estate news website The Real Deal, the Pandes placed the property back on the market and ended up selling it in 2021 for just over $13 million. This sale price, while still considerable, represents a nearly 26% decrease from their purchase price — further illustrating the volatile nature of real estate investments and the fact that market values can fluctuate significantly over time.

Why Jon Stewart's Home Overvaluation is Different from Donald Trump's

Experts say there are differences between the two situations.

Norm Miller, a real-estate economist and emeritus professor at the University of San Diego, told Newsweek that "assessed value does not equal market value and it's typical to have a ratio of assessed value in the market value that varies by market."

Miller added that assessed values can also lag from market values.

"They don't necessarily increase the assessed value nearly as fast or as much as the market values change," he said. "So it's not unusual to have a property that's worth $1 million that has an assessed value of $300,000 and so that's a ratio of, what, about 3 to 1?

He added: "The assessed value is being taken as an indication of market value, which it should not."

When it comes to Trump, he was being accused of inaccurately valuing his assets for business purposes, he said.

"He provided misleading values on the upside for financing and on the downside for property tax purposes," Miller said.

The two situations are so vastly different that I'm almost surprised anyone was fooled by the Post's attempt at slight of hand here.

I don't know if this was one of your self-admitted trolling operations or not.

One thing we are seeing from tabloid publications like this (and this one was based on a social media post - one of many - and it's a bigger problem since Musk removed any standards from the platform) is to go ahead and post a blatantly false article and since it's a celebrity they probably won't lose a lawsuit (so nothing to lose) and create the false narrative...it will take time for the rebuttal to set the record straight and by then minds are already made up.

Many folks are not able to critically evaluate such information and so they just take it at face value.

Deceitful articles and trolling are both irritating to me, but some people enjoy it. It demeans both the "speaker" and the "listener", the latter intentionally and the former unintentionally.

To me, trolls are..let’s just say, not anyone i could ever be friends with; knowing the temperament of people these days, you never know what looney will get his knickers twisted by something others see as nothing more than mildly irritating gibberish.
Deceit turns my eyes red - i despise even those who think it’s “fun to do”. Again, in this day and age, you don’t know what might trigger an astonishingly violent response from someone about something seemingly relatively innocuous.
I have a deep loathing for those who try to pretend to be someone they’re not. To me, that’s cowardice; accept who and what you are
Own you.

Cowardice is a bridge too far on a message board about sports with a side board maybe 20 people post on. This is a hyperbolic statement. No need to take this board so seriously.

I totally agree. It's taken far too seriously. If it gets bad enough, and people can't develop some sense of when to hold their typing fingers (or stop simultaneously drinking), it'll go away. This gives me the opportunity to remind everyone of a site policy - we do not discuss site policy on the public forums. Period! Anyone is free at any time to approach staff via PM, either singly or as a group. You'll find us surprisingly open to discussion, although I can't guarantee all wishes will be granted. But there will be no public complaints about management of the board upon pain of instant suspension...

Whenever I find myself trying to take this stuff too seriously, I remind myself that we live on a rock that's hurtling through space at roughly 110,000 km/h. That usually resets my perspective.

The bonding company owner that posted Trump’s $175 million bond in New York against the $465 million civil fraud judgment JUST ADMITTED THAT his company is violating ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING and “Know Your Customer” laws because he DOES NOT KNOW THE SOURCE OF TRUMP’s cash collateral. Michael Popok examines the new bond just filed by a company controlled by a Trump donor, and why the UNAUDITED and stale financial statements filed by them in the case raise new questions about their SOLVENCY that Judge Engoron will hold a hearing about later this month.

This could get interesting.

Did Trump’s lawyers just LIE TO THE NY APPEALS COURT that they couldn’t find a bonding company to post the $465 million civil fraud judgment appellate bond WHEN THEY KNEW THAT TRUMP SUPPORTER DON HANKEY WAS WILLING TO GIVE THEM THAT BOND, before the appellate court ruled to lower the bond amount based on Trump’s misrepresentations? Michael Popok examines a new interview the bonding company owner gave that indicates that Trump’s lawyers may be in ethical hot water—again.

New York man charged with sending threats to state attorney general and judge in Trump civil suit

A New York man has been charged with sending death threats to the state attorney general and the Manhattan judge that presided over former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud suit.

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York man has been charged with sending death threats to the state attorney general and the Manhattan judge who presided over former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud case.

Tyler Vogel, 26, of Lancaster, sent text messages late last month threatening New York Attorney General Letitia James and Judge Arthur Engoron with “death and physical harm” if they did not comply with his demands to “cease action” in the Trump case, according to a complaint filed last week in a court in Lancaster, a suburb east of Buffalo.

State police said in the complaint that Vogel used a paid online background website to obtain private information about James and Engoron and that this “confirmed intentions to follow through with the threats were his demands not met.”

Vogel has been charged with two felony counts of making a terroristic threat and two misdemeanor counts of aggravated harassment.

Erie County District Attorney John Flynn’s office said in a news release that a temporary protection order was also issued. If convicted, Vogel faces a maximum of seven years in prison, the office said.
