Bingo. If a surety (or any lender....you know, the very thing one of these cases was about) is going to accept real property as collateral, they need the following information, and it has to be reliable: 1) the ACTUAL value of the property (that is, what they can get for it if they have to foreclose on the collateral and sell it - they DGAF what Donald says it's worth, what will someone out in the market actually pay for it, today?), 2) what other prior liens/encumbrances is it subject to, and I mean ALL such liens, encumbrances, claims, etc., and 3) what is the VALUE of those liens (e.g., if there are liens worth $50 million on a property worth at most $60 million, then that property just provides a mere $10 million in security, at best). The existence of liens SHOULD be obtainable from statements on file in the local property records, but again....are you looking to be tied up in litigation with some new "prior lienholder" that Trump "forgot" to tell you about, or in litigation with them about how much they should be paid because the lien amount you were given was bullshit?
Lending is based on trust. Even when it requires security, there is still an element of trust. Only the dumbest people on the planet would trust Donald Trump when it comes to ANYTHING these days.
