It’s pretty clear he doesn’t have the cash to pay the judgement in full, and will need to sell illiquid assets at a discount in order to pay the full amount.

    Delaying hoping he gets back in office and can somehow affect the justice system to prevent the ruling.

    That’s not how it works, Donny Boy.

      Well, it better not be. I suspect the outcome of this election is going to determine how a lot of things work.

        Seriously. It’s not so far out of what he’s already done, to claim that the president actually owns anything that is federal property, and then sell some off to pay those debts to the states.

      Of course she will write the strongest one possible, but this might be a case where her response isn’t really that necessary except for procedural reasons–the judge is going to quash this anyway.

        Dafuq? I’ve been reading her name as Leticia all this time. It’s like when I found out, after years of reading the name, the the CEO of ULA is named Tory Bruno, not Tony.

    I would think Trump, like any organized crime boss, understands the difference between “here’s what I owe you” and “here’s a quarter of what I owe you.”

    One results in broken legs, one doesn’t.

        Alas, it favours rich, white, straight men. He’ll never get the full punishment he deserves. If he did, he’d already be in jail for a long time. I bet you his little tushy would have been massacred if he actually got convicted for all the horrible crimes he committed.

          Yeah, I’d love to see him get to face his charges, but I have no hope at all that he will.

          My sleepy brain also misread “his tushy” as “your tushy” and stared dumbfounded at this comment for half a minute.

    Without a stay, Mr. Trump’s lawyers warned, he likely would have to sell some of his New York properties “under exigent circumstances,” in what would be a punishing blow to the former president.

    Oh no! It’s almost as if he will have to face negative consequences for his actions.

    Anyway, did anyone see the Charlotte FC game last Saturday? That was a killer goal scored.

    It’s his standard operating procedure: offer a down payment and get the goods, then skip town and never pay the rest. Only I don’t think it’s going to work out for him this time…

    It’s pretty clear he doesn’t have the cash to pay the judgement in full, and will need to sell illiquid assets at a discount in order to pay the full amount

    It’s even better. The court-appointed special monitor Barbara Jones now has the power to start seizing assets until he meets the requirements to have an appeal. And, the interest meter is running, at $3mil/month.

    Basically, he needs to pony up the money. Period. If the Appellate Court finds Engoron made his judgement beyond reason, they would then go through another process to determine how the courts would pay back whatever is necessary.

    He’s fucked.

      Better still, is he swore under oath to having $450 million in cash. So if he says otherwise he then opens himself up to charges for lying under oath.

        This has to be the best thing Trump ever did. His appearance in Kevin in New York was shit, I’d rather drink from the toilet than watch the apprentice, but this here, this is hilarious. In a way I don’t want it to stop, but then again I want to see him behind bars and his goons wallow in their own tears. This is just epic. I’ll gladly subscribe to any streaming service that makes a documentary about it. Even Disney.

    Florida Man who claimed to own billions loses court case and is too poor to pay what is ordered, begs court for mercy after complaining judgement is too harsh.
