KEY POINTS
- Donald Trump should have pledged real estate to the courts if he were “truly unable” to secure a bond, the New York attorney general’s office said.
- Instead, Trump claimed it was “impossible” for him to get a bond using his properties, but did not provide any hard evidence for this, the AG’s office said.
Donald Trump should have pledged real estate he owns as collateral against a $464 million business fraud judgment if he were “truly unable” to secure an appeal bond for that amount, the New York attorney general’s office said in a court filing Wednesday.
Trump also failed to provide evidence supporting his claim this week that it was “impossible” to obtain an appeal bond by using the properties as collateral, a lawyer for AG Letitia James wrote.
“Defendants supply no documentary evidence that demonstrates precisely what real property they offered” to potential insurers," wrote Dennis Fan, senior solicitor general in the AG’s office, in the filing to Manhattan appeals court judges.
Nor did they report “on what terms that property was offered, or precisely why” bond insurers “were unwilling to accept the assets.”
He can’t get a bond against his properties because he’s over leveraged up the wazzooo on all of them.
That’s his whole financial shtick, he gets loans against his properties until they come calling for him to repay, then gets more loans somewhere else to pay of the old loans.
That worked for him for the longest time until western banks got wise of this (either because he stiffed them or because he’s still paying of his loans with them) and the only places he could lend from to repay the Western banks are questionable money sources.
So now he’s in debt with everyone from legit banks to dark money sources and can’t get anyone anywhere to lend him any more, especially not half a billion.
We can only hope a bunch of them start defaulting him on his loans and confiscating his properties, so that that whole house of cards starts crumbling down.
Well, it looks like the People of the State of New York are gonna be the first to the trough. Fuck those Russian gangster pricks and billionaire bankers alike. Let them eat ash.
Donald’s creditors are surely huge sacks of shit just like he is. Very delightful to hear they will be losing money when the state of New York claims the asset before they can.
Chubb (who financed Trump’s $100m bond for the E Jean Carrol case)? Yeah, their CEO manages their financing for Russian oil interests and other shady-ass shit. That money was dirty as fuck.
But that’s all he could get, even from them. Maybe Putin doesn’t see Trump worth it any more, lol.
Trump in court is like Sideshow Bob in a room full of rakes.
Maybe at some point, his best buddy will decide that he’s more useful as a Martyr, rather than having him slowly drag down his base as he falls. I can imagine some good headlines already “Orange guy murdered by secret cabal assassins. have Antifa Super-Soldiers returned?” 🙃
I think the useful idiot has been viewed as no longer useful.
Putin says Biden is predictable. Drumph is now over leveraged, probably always has been, but I’m not sure anyone realized just how much. You can’t use kompromat against him effectively if everyone has it.
I’m also sceptical of Alexander Smirnov and how he was burned. It just crumbled too smoothly, as if the operation was over, not that he was caught.
Not that I don’t believe you, but do you have links for the dark money bit? I realize they may not exist.
Hope he defaults on his loan to a cartel or something.
His son, the dumb one, said they get all the money they need for funding out of Russia. Who do you think orchestrates that funding?
You’ll have to be more specific.
The less coked up one
The one with Trump as his last name
Yeah, that seems like the mostly likely route to him actually experiencing consequences.
