Event Description

Donald Trump sold the Gosman property to Dmitry Rybolovlev for approximately 100 million dollars in 2008 (three years after the initial purchase). The email alleges Trump should have realized a 50+ million dollar capital gain but claimed to have spent 20-30 million on repairs to justify a reduction in capital gains tax. The email questions whether Trump reported the sale on his 2008 tax return.

Quoted Evidence

He should have had a 50 million plus capital gain. he tells people and press he spent 20-30 m to fix up. that would justifiy a reduction in captial gains. key question how did he report the sale , if he did at all on his 08 tax return.

Reasoning

The sale of a property to a Russian oligarch is a real estate transaction. Questions about tax reporting and repair cost claims are financial/tax questions, not trafficking indicators. No individuals are procured, no services are exchanged, and no trafficking-related movement or coercion is described. Financial impropriety does not equal trafficking.
