When the purchaser sells the property later for a loss, I presume they will write that off on their taxes. So who (over)paid for this property? You did.
"writing it off on their taxes" doesn't negate the damage of a failed investment/gamble. Sure it will lead to them paying less taxes, as it did for Trump all the years where he paid little taxes, but I don't see it as anything more than a failure on the purchaser's part.
An overpayment of 25% is a failure. When you overpay by multiples of the value it is a bribe, a payoff, or money laundering. Local politicians do this all the time.
