Court agrees to block collection of Trump's $454 million civil fraud judgment if he puts up $175M

A New York appeals court on Monday agreed to hold off collection of former President Donald Trump’s $454 million civil fraud judgment — if he puts up $175 million within 10 days.

If he does, it will stop the clock on collection and prevent the state from seizing his assets while he appeals.

Delay. Delay. Delay.

Same as it ever was

Tujio,

If you owe the bank $100 you have a problem. If you owe the bank $100k, the bank has a problem.

Cryophilia,

This statement is way out of date due to inflation.

Probably on the order of tens of millions before the bank has a problem. Billions, if it’s one of the bigger banks.

Savaran,

Because why should self proclaimed billionaires face consequences for their actions and statements. /sigh

Ugh. Yet more special treatment. I mean, I’m disappointed but not suprised.

Miscarriage of justice. Hopefully the DA is ready with an immediate appeal.

Buffalox,

AOC warned against this, now Trump gets more time for his shenanigans.

Cryophilia,

This was the appeal. Can the DA appeal the appeal?
