Trump Offers Court a $100 Million Bond to Pause a $454 Million Judgment

3 years ago by silence7 to c/politics

The former president, who is appealing the judgment in his civil fraud case, asked an appeals court to let him avoid paying the full amount in the meantime.

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 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...

If he actually skips town I for one would be very pleased with that outcome

Seems like a good deal. A few million dollars in exchange for Trump to fuck off to Russia, never to step foot on US soil again.
