Former President Donald Trump asked the judge overseeing the civil fraud case to delay enforcing the $355 million judgment against him for one month.
In a letter to Judge Arthur Engoron, Trump’s attorneys accuse New York Attorney General Letitia James of an “unseemly rush” to enforce the judgment by submitting a proposal for the judge to sign just days after the ruling.
Trump has 30 days from when a judgment is entered to post bond and appeal.
Last week, the judge ordered Trump to pay $355 million plus interest and imposed a three-year ban from acting as an officer of a New York business.
After he slow walked the subpoenaed records for 21 months, he should be granted no extra time
I’m honestly waiting for the lawyers to argue that all of his federal court cases have to wait until after the election to see whether or not he has the power to cancel the trials.
and I’m waiting for this complete farce of a “justice” system that allows a literal traitor to walk free for years continue to utterly fuck up its ONE JOB.

Trump tells police not to be ‘too gentle’ with suspects.
Why would the judge be gentle with someone who lost their case?
Fuck off, traitor.

Law and Order, you broke the law, the next step in that process is you pay the bill, with fines. This is how it works for the everyman this is how it works for you. If you can not pay, there could (should) be prison time for you.
No no no. In Republican world, Law and Order only applies to black and brown folks.
Let’s be fair, they hate poor people of every colour
Not equally though! “There’s some very fine people…”
No
Sure Donnie, for $87000 a day you can slow down that payment.
In a year that’s still only 31 million. He’s probably hoping he will be president by then and attempt to pardon himself even from crimes not at the federal level.

Imagine asking a favor from the judge you’ve spent the last several months calling every name in the book, very publicly and openly, and insulting his staff, doxing and defaming his clerk, and in general acting like a spoiled, whiney brat. Then going, “please, sir, may I have some more… time?”
I hope the judge tells him to get fucked

How about a nice cup of shut the Trump up?
Pay up little Donnie.
Yet again, they make a request with no reasoning to back it up.
To a judge who used phrases like “Ad nauseam” to describe the court’s previous communications with them
Fuck no. He’s been found guilty FROM DAY ONE and knew a judgement was coming. This is NOT a surprise verdict. Pony up bitch or as you say to NATO nations (incorrectly by the way), “pay your share”.
Lol this got a chuckle out of me
Can someone here sum up what happened as I can’t seem to find a simple answer online. I know he’s been done for fraud and fiddling his loans, but why does it add up to 355 million? I didn’t even think he was worth that much.
There are several deals he made that are, in the findings of the case, considered to have been facilitated by fraud. Since any income from these deals is therefore considered to be “ill-gotten gains”, the full income from them is the amount in question here. So it’s like, he defrauded people in order to sell $355m of property so he loses the income generated by that fraud
Depending on what you measure worth with, I’d argue he’s not even worth talking about.
That said, he is said to be worth 2,6 bil in money
The thing is, when wealth like this is calculated, it includes assets. And the value of those assets can be self-reported (which was the whole issue of this case to begin with).
So is he worth 2.6 billion? Well, Trump claims that Mar-a-Lago is worth between $420 million and $1.5 billion. The judge in this case deemed it to be worth between $18 million and $37 million.
Trump is rich. Even if he has no cash of his own, he can always get some to continue to live his extravagant lifestyle because there will always be fools willing to give him money because they love him or shrewd people who give him money to control him… but his actual worth could be well below that.
His debt well exceeds his worth already. His four (five?) previous bankruptcies fell on other people so he got away with them.
These values are kind of bullshit though, same with Musk and Bezos. They’re approximations of value, not necessarily what could be realised or the true value of their tangible assets. They’re not really the wealthiest people in the world, they’re simply the wealthiest people in the public eye.
True, and this is also, as far as I understand, what he has been accused of inflating in order to manipulate banks and business partners. This is also why I mentioned that his worth depends a lot on what you measure it with.
