I’m sure we all hate to see it.
Then let’s start liquidating assets.
Lol everyone knows a Trump never pays their debts
Why would a billionaire need a bond? Could he be lying about his wealth?
I mean, there are trivial reasons for this. If I own a $1.2m home and have $100,000 in the bank, I’m a millionaire who couldn’t post a $250,000 bond.
Lmao, from an NPR article on the same topic:
They filed an affidavit from an insurance broker saying it is “not possible” to find a bond that big. The broker was an expert witness for Trump during the trial.
The trial judge already noted in his decision that this broker was a “close personal friend” of Trump’s and had a financial interest in the outcome. A decision could come from the appeals court later this week.
I’m sure the judge will give the broker’s opinion all the deference it’s due. /s
Trump has been unable to get bond for $464 million judgment, his lawyers say
Now there’s a fucking surprise. What a fraud.
I’ve actually been thinking about this. If the RNC ends up paying his legal bills, wouldn’t that qualify as income, that he has to pay taxes on?
is not possible under the circumstances
presentedOf my client’s entire history dealing with others
Sounds like somebody needs their ass behind bars, then.
We don’t do debtors prisons. They’ll start seizing and auctioning properties.
Bail is something you post to keep you out of jail you’re already going to, it’s not debtor’s prison. And we do it all the time; when people can’t post bail, they continue on to jail.
In this case the bond is because he’s appealing a civil judgement that’s been reached. This is different from a bail bond. He’s not at risk of jail over this unless he gets in contempt of court.
unless he gets in contempt of court
Which should have happened several times over.
But how does this work exactly?
Trump isn’t personally owner of any of his buildings? They are owned by the companies he has stock in. Plus the buildings aren’t worth as much as those companies claim (let alone in a forced auction situation), which is another set of legal trouble Trump is facing right now. But no doubt those buildings aren’t actually owned by the Trump organizations, but instead owned by banks like Deutsche Bank, because Trump used them for his fraude schemes (allegedly). Or would Trumps stock be converted into money somehow?
Anybody got any idea on how this works in detail?
The Trump org owns buildings, and the Trump org is liable for the judgment.
Basically they’re going to seize and auction a bunch of buildings with his name on them, and when their auction values come up short, seize some more. Then when they run out, Trump org declares bankruptcy for the 4th time.
