I don't know much about the case, but if they charged him with inflating the values of his properties, that would be the lender's responsibility to determine that prior to lending him any money.  After all, if you get a mortgage, doesn't the bank do an appraisal?  Like Mike said, I don't doubt that he lied, because he does that every time he opens his mouth, but there has to be some responsibility on the other end of the deal, especially since everyone already knows he lies all the time.
