Former Trump Org. controller breaks down in tears on witness stand in fraud trial
After four days of testimony and two trips to the witness stand, former Trump Organization controller Jeff McConney broke down in tears on Tuesday, telling the court the toll of the numerous investigations and accusations of misconduct drove him to leave the company he loved working for after 35 yea...
“I feel proud of what I did. I think everything was justified. Numbers don’t represent fully what these assets are worth,” McConney said. “I got to do a lot of things normally an accountant wouldn’t be able to do. I’m very proud of the work I did for 35 years.”
eh... maybe there's a reason most accountants aren't allowed to cook the books? maybe? Cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it.
Numbers don’t represent fully what these assets are worth
I'm no accountant, but I'm pretty sure they're supposed to, Jeffrey.
“Look, you can’t just like, appraise things for some kind of dollar value and pretend that that’s what they’re worth.” — This guy’s appraiser.
I got to do a lot of things normally an accountant wouldn’t be able to do.
Yeah, crime.
Can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.
I’m looking forward to mocking the poor-pity-me-speech from trump when he gets to that stage.
I dunno. I used to accountant. We did a lot of crimes
Look, sometimes we have an asset with a book value of $10 mil, which means we can brag about it on social media, just like my uncle used to do - great man, very smart and perfect genes from Levis Strauss. Ok, very creased from ironing but this was before my superior roulette steak company. Perhaps market value is, you know, what they are saying is, ok, approximately 2 bananas when the property tax appraiser comes around. Therefore, the numbers don't represent what the assets are worth. Technically he made a correct statement. Believe me, the best kind of correct. Just like McKinsey and Ivy League. That's what people are saying. Anyway, everyone can have a gaap in judgment. Sometimes our brain is an impaired asset.

"I did it for 35 years! I never thought consequences would every come! sob"
“I loved fraud so much! And then the cops ruined it…”
At one point while reviewing his own handwritten notes, McConney acknowledged his memory was “incorrect” about a specific disclosure on Trump’s statement. Seeing the handwritten edits also published in the final statement version, he acknowledged he must have primarily written the disclosure about asset valuations that deviated from generally accepted accounting principles.
someone get this fraud a golden raspberry
Oh boo hoo.
"Waaaahhh, I've been doing this my whole life but I never wanted to get caught!"
Crocodile tears.
