Trump can pay the $83.3 million to the court, which will hold the money while the appeal is pending. This is what he did last year when a jury ordered him to pay Ms. Carroll $5.5 million in a related case. Or, Mr. Trump can try to secure a bond, which will save him from having to pay the full amount up front
so, even if he appeals he has to pay upfront before any appeal can be set-up
🤣
A bond might require him to pay a deposit and offer collateral, and would come with interest and fees. It would also require Trump to find a financial institution willing to lend him a large sum of money at a time when he is in significant legal jeopardy.
and let's face it who in their rights minds would give him a bond
apparently >> he unloaded several assets, including his Washington hotel, which sold for $375 million recently
he has the money no doubt about it he can cover the 83million BUT he hates dipping into his own personal accounts
and getting a bond he would pay fees and interest which folk will know he will try avoid paying so no one will touch him
@ecksmc I wonder what his 'take' was on the Hotel? Did he owe more than it was worth? Was there a lien on the Hotel? I wouldn't put it past him to owe more than he takes in. You're correct about him not wanting to use his own money and paying fees and interest.
