[W:778] (Bloomberg Law) Trump Bond Reduced to $175 Million as He Appeals NY Fine

Please post the Cite to your claim that the former guy's family can continue to do business in NY. Or did you mean that it can continue during the appeal? If so, so what?
It is in the order, which merely continues the stay Justice Engoron already granted. It is frustrating to watch all this crap being posted by all these people who don't have a ****ing clue what they are talking about, and don't care to educate themselves.
 
We keep saying this entire thing is political and the appeals courts keep proving it.
The court did no such thing. Since they did not explain the reasons behind their ruling, we're all just guessing. What they didn't do is eliminate the bond altogether, so that could very well indicate there are other reasons outside of the one you're positing. The premise of James' rationale for him having to post the bond amount she requested was based on the idea that Trump couldn't be trusted to pay the amount if his appeal fails, and it's perhaps the appeals court didn't agree with her assessment.
 
So, he will pay the entire judgment or just the bond? What is still standing is the entire judgement...so, I am guessing you think he is going to pay the judgement...we will see...

He was asked how he will meet the bond. He said, cash.
 
I am certain every Right Winger is trashing this judgement!

I mean, any time a New York court mollycoddles anyone with reduced sentencing or reduced bond they, Righties, go APE SHIT over it.

So this must be plum exploding their collective Right Wing heads, figuratively speaking, for you MAGATS out there.
 
You seem pretty confident that his meme stock is gonna make him rich and leave his loyal supporters holding the bag.

With IPO shares in the 40's, I think Trump will likely have at least 25-50% of that value 6 months from now.

But yes, anything can happen. His shares could even double or quadruple, or go bust.
 
The important question. If I am speculating, I think there is some discussion among the appellate judges about lowering Justice Engoron's disgorgement requirement.

It could, but it doesn't. The bond was excessive and designed to destroy Trump's campaign.

Don't worry too much about the why because we're never going to get an explanation.

We know the wealthy get a different "justice" than the rest.
Yeah, but when the poor get a different "justice", that favors them, Right Wingers get all up in high dudgeon about it!
 
For comparison remember Bernie Madoff? He ripped off thousands of people of their life savings. He was a real criminal. How much was his bond? 10 million. And he probably used money he stole to post it.
That was a federal case, I believe. New York has its own bonding laws.
 
Why? The King of Fraud, who stole billions from his clients, Bernie Madoff only had to pay a 100 million dollar bail agreement.

After doing research, I found it was even less than that. My apology. ETA: And a bail agreement is different than an appeal bond, but it does show the disparity of laying it on much heavier for Trump than others.

"Bernard L. Madoff, the New York financier who authorities say has confessed to a $50 billion Ponzi scheme, will not be going to jail even though he failed to meet the original terms of his $10 million bail agreement."

Um, Madoff died in jail. I think you might want a more recent news source for any claims about his case. They took what money Madoff had and they took even more from the people that benefitted from his schemes.

Madoff victims set to receive $772 million payout

 
They get 175M immediately, and know he's got 3 or 4B in easily liquidated assets coming available in 6 months from Truth Social.
It's going to be a lot lower than that.

The company is certainly not worth billions. Its only product is the misnamed "Truth Social," which is losing money hand over fist, and only has 5 million users. (Tiktok has 5 billion users, of which 1 billion are considered "active.")

Trump selling shares would be a huge sign to the market that he has no faith in the company, and is just cashing in. The suckers holding his stock up can only spend so much buying the stock he dumps, and eventually shorts will pile on. I.e. the more shares he sells, the lower the stock price, and the less he gets.
 
We keep saying this entire thing is political and the appeals courts keep proving it.
There is no evidence of that, actually. At least outside of Cannon’s case.
 
It could, but it doesn't. The bond was excessive and designed to destroy Trump's campaign.
🤭

Ok, silly tea leaf readings it is. Perhaps they ruled the way they did because like Trump, the appeals court is comprised of Lizard People™ and this is their way of helping him out of legal trouble so he can once again campaign for his old job. If he is elected again, he can continue his plot to terraform the Earth for his Lizard People™ brethren.
 
(Bloomberg Law) Trump Bond Reduced to $175 Million as He Appeals NY Fine
--



A NY Appeals Court has ruled Trump's NY State $545M bond has been reduced to $175M, and the due date has been extended 10 days.

I must admit, I am surprised at the ruling.
I don't understand how Trump keeps getting these breaks and delays from the court system. Had I committed any of these offenses, especially the criminal ones, I'd be in jail years ago. There exists a different system of justice for those with money and influence.
