| Explanation | Steve Markoff donated diamonds to ProCon.org in December 2018. Steve got an offer from a jeweler for $50,000 for them form an earlier time, therefore providing a fair market value. The intent of the donation was for ProCon.org to sell the diamonds to provide cash for operations. ProCon.org needed cash quickly and was unable to sell the diamonds quickly so Steve Markoff purchased the diamonds back for $55,000.00 there by providing quick cash for Procon.org and paying more than fair market value. So Steve Markoff did not benefit in any way from this transaction. | ExplanationTxt |
