      This. Any decent accountant or financial manager would know this. The fact that he made this statement at best means he’s incompetent at his job and at worst is an indication of crocodile tears.

        Yeah, things aren’t worth more than their value unless there’s sentimentality associated with it, and no one’s getting sentimental over a hotel. Nothing professional will ever value something beyond numbers, this is a gigantic embarrassment for him.
