NY Court of Appeals Lowers Amout of Bond Trump Must Post to Appeal from $454 Million to $175 Million

Trump had moved for the court to accept a $100 million bond, which he said he could afford. Of course the court could not do what Trump asked; they have to punish him and treat him like a rapist.

Hopefully Trump can come up with the extra $75 million to get this appeal started.

Once he exhausts NY state appeals, I think he can then appeal to the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals (which is liberal) and then the Supreme Court.

The Court of Appeals also gave him an additional 10 days to come up with the money.

Trump New York fraud bond cut to $175 million in appeal from $454 million


A New York appeals court paused for 10 days a massive civil fraud judgment against former President Donald Trump.

The court also and sharply reduced the bond he would have to post to obtain a longer stay to $175 million.

Trump's lawyers in a court filing last week said that it was "impossible" for him to get an appeal bond of $454 million to satisfy the judgment in that amount, having approached more than 30 surety companies without success.

I'm sure that the order banning him from doing business in New York factored in here -- as it was intended to.

A New York appeals court on Monday paused for 10 days a massive civil fraud judgment against former President Donald Trump, and sharply reduced to $175 million the bond amount he would have to post to obtain a longer stay of that damage award.

The ruling came the same day that New York Attorney General Letitia James would have been allowed to start seizing Trump's real estate and bank accounts to satisfy the $454 million-and-rising business fraud judgment in the case.

The order by the five-judge appeals courts panel prevents James from doing so, for now.

Trump's lawyers, who had previously suggested that the bond be set at $100 million, in a court filing last week said that it was "impossible" for him to get an appeal bond of $454 million after having approached more than 30 surety companies without success.

Trump's two adults sons, his company the Trump Organization and two executives who all were co-defendants in the case owe a total of about $10 million in additional damages.

None of the surety companies were willing to write a bond without Trump posting cash or some other liquid asset, the attorneys wrote in their filing with the Manhattan Supreme Court appellate division panel.

Because of the size of the fraud judgment, the companies insisted that Trump show "cash reserves approaching $1 billion," according to his lawyers. But neither Trump nor the Trump Organization company has that amount of cash on hand, the filing said.

The criminal James and the criminal Engeron purposely made the fine so large that only someone with one billion in cash could even file an appeal to challenge their corrupt orders.

This is all deliberate.

@JonathanTurley

The NY Court of Appeals has finally intervened to offer a modicum of restraint in the Trump case. It has A has given former President Donald Trump 10 more days to post a bond of $175 million. That is likely doable and avoids the cliff drop set up by Engoron and James.

...Both Engoron and James would have gained greater credibility if they recognized the obvious unreasonableness of the original demand. While still a massive bond lift, it should be attainable for Trump to allow for the review of Engoron's controversial ruling...


...For those looking for a thrill kill moment at midnight, this will be a disappointment. Hopefully, the appellate court will restore a degree of objectivity and restraint missing on the trial level...

...The true sunk costs of this controversy are likely born by Democrats who are seen as engaging in raw lawfare. Turning the New York legal system into an inescapable political vortex is repellent for many citizens and companies alike.

This is all deliberate.

Of course it is. It's a bill of attainder and should be laughed out of court. Making appeal contingent on "all your money and then some" is also appalling.

92 It's incredible that any bond at all was required. Bonds are required to guarantee repayment of the judgment. In normal circumstances, judgment creditors are worried that debtors will move money or assets out of the jurisdiction to make collection much harder.

But in Trump's case, he has hundreds of millions of dollars of real estate in NY that can't be moved. No matter what happens on appeal, those assets will always be there for seizure. It's a built-in guarantee of payment. No bond is necessary.

One other miracle - Today is The Solemnity of the Annunciation, celebrated on March 25th, honors the profound meeting between the Archangel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary, as recorded in St. Luke's Gospel. On this day St. Gabriel announced to Mary Immaculate that she would miraculously conceive a Child by the Holy Spirit, the long-awaited Messiah who would save mankind from their sins. This is the moment of the Blessed Virgin Mary's great fiat of perfect submission to the Divine will. This day on which the Church celebrates the Incarnation of Jesus Christ in the womb of His Blessed Mother is exactly nine months before the Feast of the Nativity on December 25th.

They probably think they have the power on paper, the hangup is that they need enough political cover to drone the opposition for a couple of weeks, and/or need some missing pieces to allow for more efficient targeting (for example, imagine if they'd managed to play jab mandates into mandatory vax pass apps on mobile devices).

It is not as far off as people think it is. Even back during the Obama admin they were using military network analysis tools to map out political opponents as lawfare/regulatory targets.

156 The Democrats by persecuting Trump have breeched every barrier of what constitutes a normally functioning political system. It is not only thinkable but is now actual practice that the Democrats are attempting to strip a political opponent of his wealth not only to cripple his campaign but to permanently destroy him financially and also send him to prison, effectively for life, to ensure the Democrats control the political process.

The question left is not if they will use these reign of terror tactics in the future but against whom, when, and how they will be refined and expanded. If the Democrats win in November they will destroy him in short order and if Trump beats back this Democrat insurrection, in court and in politics, they will keep coming after him and very likely ramp up a the civil unrest and riots as they did during his first term.

158 Roadhouse '24 was pretty bad. Roadhouse '89 was pretty bad but at least had some hotties and some memorable / quotable lines. It's at least worthy of repeat watching. In the new one, Jake G delivered some really bad acting. Connor Mc Gregor delivered some really bad over-acting. The fight scenes were filmed so weirdly -- looked like video game footage with the 360-degree aspect.

There are collateral proceedings that would involve the fed courts as a lot of the properties have complicated ownership entities and secured debt instruments.

The entire Engeron court structure is arguably unconstitutional under due process laws as set up and Engeron's official behavior made it worse.

The seminal due process case for individual type orders in this case is Londoner v. Denver and Engoron trampled on that particular decision's dictates as to what is the minimal due process allowed.

Even under the refinement of Mathews v. Eldridge, the notorious balancing case, Engoron and his court's actions would fall short. Engoron has no expertise in property evaluation for example and refused to allow the defense to submit its own evidence as to evaluation. There was also no jury to establish the facts so any failure in Engoron's fact finding is a legal error per se requiring no deference to any of his 'findings' of fact regarding evaluation of property.

Even a routine case involving property tax appraisal disputes have more due process than that

__
It's called a supersedeas bond. In many cases, if you lose a civil trial and want to appeal, the court will make you post a bond for the amount of judgment so that you'll be "good for the judgment" of you lose on appeal. Idea is to avoid judgment debtors from depleting assets during the appeal and have nothing to pay the judgment if they lose on appeal.

271 I was surprised that Ace gave his approval to the Road House remake.

I wouldn't say that Road House was a formative movie for me, I think I only saw it once, years after it was out. But I did get the impression that it was the kind of movie that portrayed a version of masculinity that is completely unthinkable today. Swayze's character wasn't just good looking and tough, he had a calm intensity about him that you could tell he was always the most in control person in the room. He knew how to fight, but he also understood that knowing how to fight wasn't the only important thing and should be used as a last resort. He was quiet and softspoken, he didn't make quips like action movies today do. He was not a dangerous man, but the kind of man who could have been a dangerous man had he been less virtuous.

That's the kind of male power fantasy that hollywood either hates or doesn't know how to make any more. I like Jake Gyllenhall's acting, but from the trailers, he doesn't have the same kind of energy at all. At least from the trailers, the people who made the movie didn't seem like they got what the appeal was in the original.

You have to do all of it, and ensure enough fats to lubricate your joints. You may not be pain free, especially if you don’t know the root cause. If the root cause is general aging, and body wear and tear, it should help. And you know I am going to say it, because I am me, a regular exercise program is really important. I am not suggesting you need to lose weight at all, I don’t know, but for me, getting the extra 50 pounds of my joints was a great relief. Building muscle, improving bone density, stretching, balance work. and just the moving part has reversed a ton of what used to hurt. I am going for reverse aging. It’s working great on my mind! 😂 seriously, I had a complete lifestyle switch 2.5 years ago and I am not going back. I may be obnoxious about it, but the results speak for themselves.

How many actually voted to convict during his two impeachments, the second one as he was out the door, presumably to never hold power again?

One. It was Mitt Romney, and he only voted to convict on one of two counts.

I understand being suspicious of the GOPe, especially in DC, but when it comes to impeachment, we've already seen how they'll behave.

Very possible. Simply put, any random commenter here spouting off this or that will happen will only make their bones as a profit if what they predict now actually comes to pass in 2025. Unless you believe in the Many Worlds thesis, most of what people predict now is going to be wrong in some way or another.

The usual way to make such predictions is what Heinlein did in his Worlds of Robert Heinlein. He made his original predictions in 1952, revised them in the sixties and then again in the last edition and commented why he was right on some and wrong on others.

If that shit happens, predictions from everyone are out the window and it becomes more an issue of game theory than anything.

There is no one path and any model of predictions has to take into account multiple different occurrences. Last time something like this happened, SC precipitated a Civil War by its decision to leave the Union over the election of Lincoln but Lincoln added fuel on the fire himself.

If AH Lloyd is around, he can tell you that similar actions happened in the Spanish Civil War as well.

True story, DC is surrounded by states and not particularly defensible. The rest of the country can get along quite well without DC, DC--not so much.

Divesting in NYC or the state will require selling to someone who thinks it's worth investing in, so not making a loud public deal out of leaving is in everyones interest. Out of that you can surmise that for everyone who wants to sell and not lose their ass there must be a buyer, which means that the city and state will realize not much loss over the short term.

333 I think there were several reasons why the Court of Appeals did this.

Although the Court may be Dem-heavy, it does care about the overall credibility of the NY court system. It does not want to be known as a kangaroo court.

The Court of Appeals may have some genuine concern for the way Letitia twisted a consumer fraud statute to use in a case in which there was no victims. They may see a need to clarify how this law should be used or even to strike it down as unconstitutionally vague.

The third reason is that the Court saw the possible devastating effects this case could have on real estate investment in NY, and on the NY economy in general, despite Gov. Hochul’s assurance to potential investors that Trump was a unique case and they needn’t be worried. There may have been some discreet calls from business leaders to acquaintances on the Court of Appeals that they didn’t want NYC to go into a real estate doom loop like San Francisco

There is a second path - since most of this is just money - you move your operations out of state, incorporate elsewhere. Yes, your property is still at risk, but your business money is safe - they can't get to it. You move to a state - probably Florida, that you know will go after NY if they come after you. You don't invest anything new - and you convince about half the money who thinks they are safe to buy you out over time. It becomes a much faster drip on NYC's vibrancy. The death spiral comes much faster.
