LEGAL Donald Trump Unable to Secure Bond in New York's $464 Million Civil Fraud Case

Contributing to that gofundme is the same as throwing your money away
I'm not a big Trump fan. Like most of his policies, but don't like the way he does things. And you are right, this is probably a waste of money. But I contributed anyway, and believe all freedom loving Americans, right or left, should as well. Simply to make a point. You can't use the legal system to remove a political opponent. Trump deserves all the help we can give him to fight this. Because if he loses, we are next.

If a court does not soon intervene, I predict this will be the end of NYC, if not the entire New York state. Simply because we'll see wholesale disinvestment, leaving the city to devolve into a mad max world, totally void of any law and order.

Already in progress from what I hear. Like I said, Hochul is already frantic to assure business owners that this ABSOLUTELY NEVER EVER will happen to them. They don't seem to believe it, though.

We ARE. It's just that no one cares about our outrage and won't until it's expressed in small calibers, which most of us don't want to do because it's forbidden to us who ARE outraged.

I agree 100%. The meme just summed things up pretty well.

That's one of the things that bothers me about memes: the overuse of clichés. It's tiresome to be constantly told, "You should be outraged!" & "Somebody should do something!" The problem is when one lone soul sticks their neck out, they get their head promptly chopped off. We're stuck between that proverbial rock & hard place. We're boned, basically.

I'm not getting why a temporary lien on property is not the solution to this issue. They can't do anything to the property. He can't sell it. That holds until the final decision on the case. At that point, he pays the fine. Or he loses the property.

But while it's in flux, no I wouldn't be good with the state taking over running the business. They have a really hard time with making businesses successful, would likely permanently damage both the business and the building, and money would just go wandering off everywhere but where it is supposed to be.

Oh, and NYC was already bleeding people but quite a few I knew that were "on the fence" are finding ways out now. Their very pointed worry is that if laws can be manipulated like that to screw Trump, what's to stop local officials from doing that in their areas to people they don't get along with.

He can't sell it anyway. They already appointed a government "special master" that is running his businesses. He doesn't have control of them anymore.

So yes that should be enough, but the whole point is to irrevocably break him and then put him in prison.

Black payback … get the rich Whitey. She ran her campaign on getting Trump. Promised it. Just shows she doesn’t know her real enemy. Moron blackskin.

She‘s happy with turning NYC into a bigger $#hit hole than it is. Businesses will leave. Just doing what they do … destroy everything they can.

But at least she’ll make a name for herself. Spit

Makes you wonder if they understand, they could spend the rest of their lives … hiding

This should be the end of NYC and the state. EVERYONE should pull out and boycott the state.
Maybe like RI did during covid. Start detaining NY residence. Then order them back to the State.
People and States need to start fighting back.

Reading between the lines, it looks like Trump will call their bluff and let them take the properties. The fallout may be one reason. Although they keep talking about padlocking Trump Tower, they seem to be looking at some of his less high-profile and expensive targets.

The judge herself did seem to be drooling over padlocking Trump Tower and may yet do so. But I think some of the cooler heads, the ones more focused on business than party politics, are starting to realize the rather epic consequences that could have for the City and even the State of New York.

Her silly "assurance" to other businesses that it wouldn't happen to them, implying that this was "Only for Trump," made things worse, in my opinion. Any relatively sane person, especially someone running a large corporation or bank, will think, "Today, Trump, tomorrow it could be me!"

They will continue to leave the State, this time in droves. Even the Stock Market stopped playing with the idea of relocation and decided to relocate.

I hope so. Trump has an estimated net worth of: (Google query)
How much is Trump worth? As of mid-March 2024, Forbes estimates Trump's net worth at $2.6 billion, putting the real estate developer at No. 1,290 on the magazine's list of the world's richest people.

I.e. the judgement pending appeal is about 1/6th of Trump's total net worth.

He could afford to walk away and not appeal. If he appealed and won - he could be owed the take-over PLUS damages from New York. (i.e. lost income, maintenance and continuation of the structures and organization.)

There are two appeals possible: it could be on the basis of the original judgement (did Trump in fact commit fraud in securing his loan?) OR on its 8th Amendment merits of egregious punishment.

Letitia James busted in fraud scandal....

Summary: Letitia James has been caught in the middle of her own fraud scandal, with new allegations emerging that she is using her office to avoid paying a $3 million loan while protecting a group that overly-inflated their property values. Meanwhile, Trump appealed Engoron's $450m order, arguing the ruling is unconstitutional and in violation of prior findings from the New York Court of Appeals.

...I did a brief search here and didn't see any reference to this yet

r/t 28:03 - although the fraud scandal discussion happens during the first 9 minutes.

The $454 million bond doesn’t have anything to do with the lawsuit you referenced.

This one is regarding the so called mortgage fraud
And, if one can believe a CBS Commentator, fully-funded judgements are not unheard of when the payout is significant and the accused is pursuing appeals.

I'm about 175% certain said appeals are in process.

New York attorney general makes first move to seize Trump's assets


The filing is the first step a creditor takes to try to recover property.


By Madeleine Hubbard

Published: March 21, 2024 1:41pm


New York Democratic Attorney General Letitia James took her first step toward seizing the assets of former President Donald Trump as part of the more than $450 million civil fraud judgment he faces.

James' office filed judgments in Westchester County, which indicates that the state is getting ready to try to seize Seven Springs, Trump's golf course and private estate, CNN reported Thursday.

The judgments were entered with the Westchester County Clerk's Office on March 6, one week after Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump to pay the major fraud fine and well before Trump's deadline to satisfy the judgment.

The filing is the first step a creditor takes to try to recover property. The next steps could be putting liens on assets or trying to force a foreclosure, among other things.

Trump offered last month to post a $100 million appeal bond instead of the full $464 million he is required to post to appeal, but Engoron denied the proposal.

This is all about imposing a financial penalty before the process is complete.

What else would one expect from a Marxist regime?

The state of New York will be housing illegals in trump’s property as soon as they seize it

They have to honor the rental lease of the companies or people living there. The Attorney General will have to go the entire process to pull this off and that government office does not do real estate. They may find out the real estate holdings in the state of New York does not amount to six hundred million dollar$ and Trumps bank accounts may be out reach of the New York State attorney general.
Selling the buildings they may find no one wants them or willing to bid on them.
The attorney general has been caught in a scandal involving three million dollar theft that mirror's what they were accusing Trump of doing.

NEW: Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary slams AG Letitia James and Judge Arthur Engoron seizing Donald Trump's assets 'like in Venezuela or Cuba' during heated CNN shouting match.

"This may be great for the attorney general, but this is not good for America."

"Forget about Trump. You think this is good for business in New York? You think this is good for business in America?"

"To take a law that we use to protect people against buying refrigerators at an overpriced value decades ago, and apply it against an individual and then talk about seizing assets like he was in Venezuela or in Cuba?"

"This is a very, very, very bad look for a New York, and everybody around the world is watching this."

"There was no fraud here in the context of people actually losing money. Deutsche Bank, who made the loan, was made whole. And let's make a penalty of half a billion dollars against a crime, apparently, where no monies were lost."

"There are no half-billion dollar bonds. Never been done before. Never. This law has never been applied."

"Forget about Trump. Nothing to do with Trump. Everything to do with America and the New York brand."

"I love this state. My children live here. This is a horrible message to everybody around the world watching this. Absolutely horrific."

It is getting to the point of that "dormant American rage" our ancestors had and unleashed on our oppressors..
Once people start realizing they have nothing left to lose, you WILL see masses of people taking things into their own hands against our oppressors/aggressors... Just ask Britain and Japan about that.
They killed off so many with this covid shit, then tried finishing us off with the vax and triple boosts... in hopes people would either be dead or too sick and unhealthy to fight against their tyranny...
Then they pull the January 6th psyop to make an example out of those who protest , and turn them into insurrectionists , holding them now for over 3 years WITHOUT a trial, in conditions worse than Guantanamo.... and they are STILL using resources to track and swat people who were just within a few blocks of the Capitol to this day ..
ALL that was to scare the people into compliance and turn half or less of the population against these "insurrectionists"

And the invasion at our border created intentionally by this admin is treason and people are at the point of mobbing up and going to the border states themselves and taking care of the problem. People are that ****ing mad!

Their day is coming .... I feel it ...
If the try and JFK Trump , I promise each and every single one of you.... that ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOOSE , and they better already be in their bunkers because I don't believe America will allow another JFK and coverup to happen again without every one involved being publicly hanged on natl tv for all to see as an example...
Yes I see it getting that bad, and I forsee the Dems and DS being bold enough to try it because they know they absolutely cannot let Pres Trump back in office or they all will be in Gitmo foreal this time and not no Q bullshit to keep people complacent.

JUST IN...President Trump: "I currently have almost $500 Million in CASH" For Bail....Liberal Heads Are About to Explode​


On February 16, President Donald J. Trump was ordered to pay $454 million in penalties after the clown Judge Engoron found President Trump guilty of fraudulently inflating his assets to boost his net worth.
The Left, including the Trump-hating NBC host Katy Tur, have been absolutely jubilant over the unfair judgment against President Trump. In the video below, Tur, who is supposed to be an unbiased journalist, can’t stop smiling while she reports on the judgment every sane person around the world is calling ridiculous.

The fee Manhattan Judge Arthur Engoron ordered President Trump to pay (with no jury involved) included about $355 million in disgorgement and more than $98 million in prejudgment interest at a 9% annual rate. Additionally, the judge banned President Trump from business in NYC for three years as an officer or director and from applying for loans from any NY chartered or registered financial institution.


AG Letitia James, who campaigned on “getting Trump,” has threatened to seize President Trump’s prized NY properties including his Westchester golf course and Seven Springs estate, as he scrambled to secure the insane $464 million bond payment.
In a Truth Social post only one hour ago, President Trump lashed out at the “often overturned political hack judge (Engoron) on the rigged and corrupt AG case, where I have done nothing wrong.”


President Trump began, “Through hard work, talent, and luck, I currently have almost five hundred million dollars in cash, a substantial amount of which I intended to use in my campaign for President.”
THROUGH HARD WORK, TALENT, AND LUCK, I CURRENTLY HAVE ALMOST FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN CASH, A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WHICH I INTENDED TO USE IN MY CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT.

CASE, WHERE I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG, KNEW THIS, WANTED TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME, AND THAT’S WHERE AND WHY HE CAME UP WITH THE SHOCKING NUMBER WHICH, COUPLED WITH HIS CRAZY INTEREST DEMAND, IS APPROXIMATELY $454,000,000. I DID NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT WIN AN ELECTION IN 2016 THAT I WASN’T EXPECTED TO WIN, DID EVEN BETTER IN 2020, AND NOW LEAD, BY A LOT, IN 2024.THIS IS COMMUNISM IN AMERICA!


On President Trump’s campaign page, President Trump who reminds Americans he “did nothing wrong,” asks his supporters to DONATE to his campaign and help him raise the money he will need to win in the upcoming Nov. 2024 election. The Left is using every tactic in the book to destroy him and his chances of taking back America from those who want to make America into something we will no longer recognize; he will need the financial support of his followers now more than ever.

The Left thinks that if they bury me with enough witch hunts and intimidate my family and associates that I’ll eventually throw up my hands and give up on our America First movement.
