“Of course it has to be paid, you don’t get to commit crimes then when you’re caught keep the profits from your criminal activities, that would be insane,” Eric Trump said. “My father represents the best of us and supports the rule of law. He would never support lesser penalties for the rich and powerful. He’s not some clueless landlord trying to avoid paying for his crimes. He represents the sense of justice and order universal laws grant to protect our constitutional rights.”

J/k they don’t give a shit about justice or anyone that hasn’t significantly donated to their criminal enterprise/political cult.

WaxedWookie,

And I say the $454m is payable to me personally.

…but the legal system doesn’t work on dumb assertions, does it?

Robert Durst - $3 billion In 2016. Eventually, the bail was reduced to $5 million and Durst was released on bond.

Kim Freeman - $1 billion In 2021. Eventually, the bail was reduced to $10 million and Freeman was released on bond.

dhork,

Those are all bail bonds, though, they serve a different purpose. Those bonds are put up to guarantee that someone shows up at their trial, the Court makes them put up the money but then as long as they show up they get it all back.

Trump’s bond is for a judgement, and only allows him to appeal without paying the full amount up front. He will eventually owe the full amount, unless the appeals court reduces it.

SkyezOpen,

And the bond people KNOW they aren’t getting their money back from Trump.

JeeBaiChow,

Still trying to look out for dad. Only dad apparently can’t even remember him as a family member. Sucks to be Eric.

Yes

WarmSoda,

These people have children of thier own. Think about that for a second.

itsgroundhogdayagain,

It wouldn’t have been so high if it wasn’t based on the fraudulently-inflated valuations of the family’s properties. Get fucked Eric.

TransplantedSconie,

That thumbnail photo looks like he shartled in his pants a bit.

Wait until tomorrow, Lunchbox.

Wear the brown pants.

JoMomma,

That’s just his face

Rapidcreek,

It’s a disgorgment not a fine. There’s a difference.

In 1987, Texaco had to post a bond 22 times the size of the Trump fraud bond. And that was in in 1987 dollars.

Does tomorrow, bud.

Those kids would be really upset right now if they could read laws and judgements.

Edit: can’t spell do the grammar. But I can read.

TransplantedSconie,

Boy, howdy it do.
