So the Trump team announced yesterday that they couldn't come up with a bond or cash for the $480 Million dollars as per the court order.
At first, I thought, gee that's okay, the DA can just take 40 Wall Street, which is one of the buildings Trump is most proud of. Then after a bit of research, I found out, he doesn't own that building. He holds a 200-year lease on the building from the company that owns it and it's not a Trump company. Then I found out that he also does not own Trump Tower in its entirety, he owns the retail space and his Triplex apartment.

Seems that the Billionaire he purports himself to be is simply all smoke and mirrors.
I should have figured he lied about being a billionaire because he's lied about everything else.

The good news is that the MAGA'ts will send money to him because they're not the brightest lights on Broadway.
The other great news is that Taylor Swift has the cash and could write him a check if she wanted to. Unfortunately, she doesn't want to.

The next move is by Attorney General Letitia James.

This is going to be a fun ride.

I am hoping he starts feeling the pinch for money that the 100's of people he shorted or did not pay at all felt. Just remember how many 100's of them sewed him and got little or nothing.

Trump needs money! Biden needs a Brain.

It's too bad that you can only fix Trump's problem

and don't have enough to fix your or Biden's problem.

This is the trouble with the idiocy delivered to the hoi polloi by a corrupt media. Nobody bothers to check just how the property ownerships are structured. Commercial properties are incredibly complicated, both in their financing, and deeds.

There are other entities involved, and the idiot AG glosses over their interests as if they don't exist. I'm a bit surprised that other interested parties haven't become more widely known.

There are also Constitutional issues involving the 8th Amendment, as well as the 5th and 14th Amendments.

If James is successful in her persecution and illegal asset confiscation, and Trump is then successful in getting this farce dismissed on appeal, the state of New York will likely be bankrupted in the counter-actions. Trump also has a route through the Federal Courts with civil violations of his Constitutional rights. Most of the numbers mentioned are "fire sale" prices. As many folks know, that when property values come into play in civil courts, they're rarely cited in terms of the "fire sale"; market value is a far different animal.

Kraken it is rare indeed that you say anything on these threads that represents original thought not to mention smart, you should leave things alone.

Appeals and due process haven't yet played out.

And since we're talking about civil infractions, then it's not guilt that's involved.

Trump needs both money and a brain.

Go ahead and quibble about whether the judgment is "liable", "responsible" etc., there is always burden of proof to determine "guilt". He has been convicted which makes him a convict.

Appeals aren't likely to change the outcome; only the amounts. If he keeps yapping about the Carroll case, he may have another charge. The appeal on the $5 mil judgment went nowhere and neither will the $90 mil one. Trump is using his money to delay the proceedings and its working, but its only buying time which has turned out to be very expensive for him.

We'll see what Monday brings for the business fraud case.
