    Didn’t he say he was too rich to pay? Now he’s offering to pay but less than 1/4th of the original amount.

      Edited: Wrong multi million dollar judgement

      To clarify: this isn’t paying Carroll, this is putting up a 110% bond, then when appeals are done it will be used to pay out and trump gets the extra 10% back.

      He said he’s so rich that there’s no need for the bond. I think they offered to pay “a fraction” which came out to under $100

      Which the judge denied because they waited till literally the 11th hour to submit it.

      Now when they try to argue he can’t come up with the money by the deadline, this will get thrown in his face.

      I don’t think they can force him to liquidate property for this because it’s civil, but I believe if they force liquidation for the civil judgement, Carroll can go after anything remaining that has been liquidated, and hopefully take it directly instead of it going thru the black hole that is Trump’s checkbook.

      It’s probably the only way she’ll actually get paid.

        This isn’t the Carroll case at all. This is the New York fraud judgement against him.

        I don’t know if Trump has put up the bond for appealing the second Carroll verdict. He already has $5 million being held for the appeal on the first verdict against him. It’s very hard to keep track of the money he owes people for crimes Trump has committed.
