Putin needs to come get his lap dog. It's shitting all over the place.
Some idiot will be along to tell us all about how this was a victimless crime any moment now.
Surely you've lied on a resume before. Exaggerated the truth. Told a small child the tooth fairy is real. This is no different. /s
I mean who hasn't lied about their net worth and assets being hundreds of millions of dollars more valuable than they actually were to obtain a favorable loan?
Last week I told the boys my motorbike was worth $15k, but really it's probably only $10k.
Straight to jail!
Is the 30 day clock to put up the entire sun for appeals? If he can't what's he repayment plan?
If he can't, he doesn't get to appeal. Putting up the money is a prerequisite to an appeal. If he chooses not to appeal, or can't put the money in escrow, then the judgment is final and the court starts taking other means to actually collect the judgment, or as much as it can.
It seems likely to me that he will not be able to appeal, and that furthermore the court will not be able to collect the full judgment amount for the plaintiffs, and in that case they'll turn him upside down and shake him until every quarter falls out of his pockets.
I agree. I don't think he will appeal.
If he were "very confident" of an easy win then he might put up the money and appeal, but I don't think anyone has any confidence that an appeal would be successful.
That being the case, the better move might be to string out payments, hope to become POTUS and just kinda authoritarian your way out of it.
Regardless, it's delightful to finally see some consequences beginning to coalesce.

This is the entirety of his plan.
Can we televise that, put it on pay-per-view, and use the proceeds to pay down the national debt?
Christ id pay $39.99 a month to watch that
I can only imagine what his hair will end up looking like.
Like that, but not cute?
Putting up the money is a prerequisite to an appeal.
I'm not familiar with this area of law. What's the reasoning behind this rule? From my naive perspective, it seems like whether or not an appeal is justified is independent of whether or not the defendant can afford to pay the full judgement.
Maybe to avoid having the defendant spend all their money appealing the judgment, which in case of a negative result could impact their ability to pay the fine.
Because otherwise everyone would just appeal every verdict for years just to delay payment. “Skin in the game” ffs.
Honestly it's a good question and I'd also like to know the answer.
I know it's not the same, but I've had to pay tickets before challenging them in court, too. If you win, you get it back.
Annoying af when you're broke.
If you didn't have to pay first, then there would be a financial incentive to appeal even if you don't think you can win - just to delay payment.
Make appellant's pay first to remove the financial incentive to appeal.
Well if you ask the banks he's got at least a bazillion dollars worth of property. And if you ask the IRS he has at least fifty dollars worth of property.
I read the other day that he may declare personal bankruptcy to delay payment. Then he can cry to his followers for more money.
"I had to do it to fight the Commie Nazi Demo-RATS!"
"SEND ME YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY GRANDMA"
They can't send him money, they're supposed to be using their money for ammo and guns for the upcoming war. At least that's what my lunatic coworker says.
He is almost certainly moving every dime he can move to offshore accounts or aliases not in his name to shield as much as he can. But that just means every property with Trump on it is probably going to foreclosed.
That's just not how Trump rolls though.
He cares a lot more about being perceived to have money than he does about actually having money.
He would do anything and everything to avoid the perception that he is broke.

30 days on they start collections by seizing properties
Either the entire sum or pay someone 10% to post bond. If he doesn’t put up the whole sum 9% interest will continue to accrue (roughly $87k/day). If he doesn’t appeal nor pay, the prosecutor can start asking for assets to be seized.
Has to pay to appeal (into escrow)
Yup, that’s what I said, either entire sum or pay someone to post bond on his behalf.
Wow I never thought about how much the sun cost before
I'm losing track. Is there a website that tracks the hearings and findings?
This is everything coming up.
I think politico has a page somewhere but not sure if it's kept up to date.
Uf. I thought the clock started last week. Now we have to wait another 30 days? Ugh.
Its been an hour since this article came out.
Please up that price tag by 5000.
Let’s see Jared and Ivanka bail him out.
Came here to say the Saudi money Jared is holding for him from the sale of those classified documents will pay it.
Since when is three "several?"
It's likely that word choice was used because it's three years for Trump, and two years for Eric and Don Jr.
So, "a few."
I am also confused. Why was this down voted? According to the dictionary several means more than 2 or 3, however still a low figure number. It was reported to be only 3 years last I saw; meaning to be incorrect? Edit: I'm noticing a plural in "trumps" so assumably they are including his sons as well?
It's been several years. 2021 I think it happened.
It's been a few years now, since the changes in 2022.
That GFM is nearly there! Only $453M to go!
Hey, they're still beating the interest.
