You may be right. But of course, he does own property in NY worth trillions of dollars.He won't pay. They're going to have to seize his property.

Also, his campaign war chest has something like $110 million he scammed off the Trumper dupes. And I have no doubt he will raid that for any purpose he wants. So he can pay if he wants to.

A New York judge is holding Donald Trump in civil contempt after the state’s attorney general’s office said he did not comply with a subpoena for documents as part of its investigation into the former President’s company.
Judge Arthur Engoron said Trump failed to abide by his order to comply with the subpoena, and that his attorneys failed to show how a search of materials held by Trump was conducted. Engoron said Trump would be fined $10,000 a day until he complies.

“Mr. Trump, I know you take your business seriously and I take mine seriously. I hereby hold you in civil contempt and fine you $10,000 per day until you purge that contempt,” Engoron said at a hearing Monday. A written decision with a start date for fines is expected Tuesday.
Trump plans to appeal the decision, his attorney Alina Habba told reporters.
“We respectfully disagree with the court’s decision today,” Habba said. “All documents, as I explained, responsive to the subpoena were already produced to the attorney general months ago.”
New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office has beeninvestigating the Trump Organization for more than two years and previously said her office found multiple misleading or fraudulent misstatements and omissions in the Trump Organization’s financial statements, which were provided to lenders and insurers, among others, as part of its investigation.
Andrew Amer, with the attorney general’s office, said that Trump has failed to produce “even a single responsive document” for a subpoena that was issued to him in December.
“We are being hampered in our efforts to have a complete understanding because we don’t have evidence from the person who sits at the top of the organization,” Amer said.
Kevin Wallace, with the attorney general’s office, said in some instances it’s been “like pulling teeth” to get documents needed for the investigation, and describing the Trump Organization as a closely-held family company with 500 entities and millions of dollars moving around.
In court, Habba said the former president does not believe he is above the law, but simply does not have the types of written communications that were sought by the subpoena, but that he produced hundreds of thousands of documents through his assistants. Habba said she herself searched Trump’s hard copy calendars and physical file locations, and even interviewed her client in Florida.

Which properties does he own? That have not been seized for one reason or another? His hotels are goners probably for not paying bills.You may be right. But of course, he does own property in NY worth trillions of dollars.
Also, his campaign war chest has something like $110 million he scammed off the Trumper dupes. And I have no doubt he will raid that for any purpose he wants. So he can pay if he wants to.
Then he'll be treated like anyone else who doesn't pay court ordered fines. The Marshalls will be called and his assets seized. All the gold leaf he's so fond of has to be worth somethingHe won't pay. They're going to have to seize his property.
Then, the property will be seized. Good enough.He won't pay. They're going to have to seize his property.
That will help offset the taxes he evaded.10,000 a day ends up to 3.6 million per year. I wonder if he would just pay the fines indefinitely
Good point. None of his properties would ever have been in his own, personal name anyway.Which properties does he own? That have not been seized for one reason or another? His hotels are goners probably for not paying bills.
