#Bender’s failure to complain about the #statements of #financial condition & #valuation methods doesn’t mean those valuations & statements they were presented were reasonable. It just shows that Bender@& #Mazars were sloppy, if not financially beholden to the #TrumpOrg.
Yes Mazars had access to data that banks & lenders didn’t, but the employees & execs of #Trump Org weren’t entirely honest w/them.
Bender & Mazars may have been equal parts victims of & accomplices to Trump’s alleged fraud.
