https://www.independent.co.uk/news/worl ... 02663.htmlDonald Trump’s attorneys are appealing a $454m judgment against the former president after a sprawling civil trial found him liable for a decade of fraud in his family business.
Attorneys for Mr Trump and his co-defendants filed paperwork with a New York appellate court on Monday, arguing that the judge overseeing the case “committed errors” of law or facts, “abused its discretion” and “acted in excess of its jurisdiction”.
But the ruling against him won’t be paused until the former president and his co-defendants post a bond equal to the massive judgment against them.
If a bond is not posted within a 30-day period from the judgment, New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office can begin seizing his assets. Monday’s filing did not mention the bond.
He does seem to be a bit stressed, he rambles a lot and confuses cars with wives.
I've checked back and he didn't post a Supersedeas bond for the $83.3 million in the E Jean Carroll case either, for that one his thirty days are up early in March, the 2nd or 3rd I think.
If he doesn't post the bond his appeal can still go ahead but the plaintiff can start enforcing judgement and taking his stuff, and what's even better is that there is a special montior in place who won't hesitate to pay up.
I'm wondering if this is more of Trump's 'victimhood' schtick. Is he going to wait to sent packing from Mar-a-Lago when it's sold out from under him and then complain that it was worth far more than it was sold for?
It will give him an excuse to get out of Florida and try to delay the documents case against him.
