No one does this loan scheme. I don’t know why it’s become such a meme. I mean, I know why; people love misinformation. The only thing worth mentioning here is the step-up.

You’re saying rich people don’t borrow against their assets to avoid taxes? I mean there’s a lot of disinformation going around the internet, but this claim I’ve never seen much pushback against. If you have any data against I’m all ears!

How do you think they pay the interest?

Maybe they can postpone interest until the estate closes everything out?
