Someone made the following comment from that thread:

it’s hard to tell if they have intent or not. Eric took the 5th and the accountants couldn’t remember details in a lot of cases. Is this another one that dissolves away due to lack of proof on intent?

No — there is obvious intent. It seems clear that if you make conflicting statements to value a property as worth substantially more for loan purposes than for tax purposes, it is obvious to all, except braindead minions, that the lies are deliberate and not a mistake.
