Trump needs a $464m bond in six days. What if he can't get it?

Donald Trump's lawyers are asking a New York court to put a $464m (£365m) fine in a civil fraud case on hold, as the former president finds himself in a precarious financial situation that could ultimately see his most prized properties taken.

If Mr Trump wants to continue his appeal in the case without the state seizing the fine from him, he must submit the full amount in cash or secure a bond from a private company by 25 March.

Lose his stuff probably. He seems to think having to sell your stuff to pay your bills or go to jail only happens to poor people.

He'll prob have another 100 odd million to pay for defaming his sexual assault victim again too.

Amazed that he needed the bond to be reduced after he stated he had $500 million in cash. A man of Trump's integrity and honesty would never lie about the value of his assets.

Special treatment again :naughty:

His and his spawns rants seek to overlook the simple fact that the bond agenies are saying no because they don't think they'll get their money back. Its not the amount that's scaring them, they just know it's bad business.

The fact is the more they go after him, the more popular it makes him and turns him into martyr

I'll be curious how much of that inflated paper fortune he's ever able to actually access, it all has the whiff of more scamming and a court could force disgorgement or simply raise the scale of his future fines.

Shares do not equal liquid assets.

Why are you assuming he has the cash funds he claims to have? He routinely lies about his wealth. This was what this case was literally about.

i see no reason for him to lie in his cash funds. lying benefits typically. the case he lied to get a better loan deal.

I believe he actually can't for now, these sort of deals come with restrictions about when/how/who you can sell to.

(He pulled the same omission stuff with Mar-a-Lago, going on about it's huge value, but keeping forgetting to mention the massive zoning and use restrictions applying to the property making is near worthless to most buyers - at the end of the day an asset is worth what someone will physically pay for it, not what you write on the price tag.)

RE : lying about cash, it's known he does this whenever it suits him, even now when he's caught he still needs to feed the daily tirades of boastful victimhood, any figure he puts out publicly is meaningless at this point.
