If that price was arrived at by an official process and properly documented, then that's the system working as intended.

The questions is, intended by whom?

So with careful planning and proper documentation you can rob a bank ?

Intent is a serious factor in crime.

Essentially, yes. Please familiarise yourself with sub-prime mortgages and 2007 - 2009.

With the right kind of paperwork you can not only rob a bank you can also make yourself a beneficiary of multiple bailouts and benefits. With even better paperwork you then claim the losses as part of lowering your tax obligation.
