Yes, he does pay his fines, unlike how he treats his lawyers & employees.

Via Klasfeld:

's lawyer Alina submitted her client's gag order sanctions payment to court today.

In a letter, Habba said this doesn't waive any appellate rights over the penalty.

pixelpusher220,

@GottaLaff interesting that he paid both fines together. Would have guessed he'd wait the 30 days on the 2nd

@pixelpusher220 He's so good with money! You keep forgetting!

@pixelpusher220 @GottaLaff no way a check cleared this fast. The firm fronted it. Which is stupid considering he's on trial for fraud and his companies have been ordered dissolved.

@pixelpusher220 @GottaLaff @smooz

He just wants to show it’s no problem for him. ‘$15k is walking around money.’

His Ego always comes first.

@Dhmspector@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff no, his lawyer paid his fine which he will certainly stiff her for.

GottaLaff,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Dhmspector She has to get the money from him though. I can't imagine she'd let him stiff her for that.

Dhmspector,
@Dhmspector@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff she’s a true believer.

legalquilts,
@legalquilts@mstdn.party avatar

@GottaLaff @Dhmspector she paid upfront. Because she is now one of his marks.

smooz,

@GottaLaff the handwriting on this check looks looks like a child wrote it, not a professional law firm 🤦🏼‍♀️

@smooz Because a child did, lol

Good luck getting reimbursed...

aloopapu,

@GottaLaff The court should make him set up automatic monthly payments.

AndyHat,

@GottaLaff Huh, "Other revenues include interest, subrogation receipts, and sanctions imposed on lawyers for frivolous conduct in the course of litigation" (quote from http://www.newyorklegalethics.com/qa-about-new-york-lawyers-fund-for-client-protection/ )

Seemed like a weird place to direct the payment, but I guess "frivolous conduct" covers it.

@GottaLaff
No way this is Trump's money.

Trump has a history of lawyers making his payments for him (eg Cohen taking out a home loan to pay Stormy Daniels)

2/ I guess I need to add this.

I was covering that the fine was paid, not who paid it.

People are always asking me if he ignores the fines, and I always link to articles showing where he's paid. I wasn't really focusing on WHO fronts the $$, just that the fines are paid.

We all know he stiffs everyone, which is why I opened with that. + we know he dupes his idiot vile base out of their $$ to pay off his legals.

But my only point was that the fine was, in fact, paid.

@GottaLaff

So trump's fine was paid to:
New York Lawyers' Fund for Client Protection - is this the standard payee for all NY Court fines?

Pretty soon his donors will have emptied their retirement accounts. The ones that complain how their money doesn't go as far under Biden

@GottaLaff @lisamelton Ah, well, all we know is that his lawyer paid the fine.

GottaLaff,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@genecowan @lisamelton Yes. My point was, though, that the fine was paid.

People are always asking me if he ignores the fines, and I always show where he's paid. I wasn't really focusing on WHO fronts the $$, just that the fines are paid.

pixelpusher220,

@GottaLaff just now able to see the check image. Maybe it's standard but hand written seems less than upper tier representation lol

@GottaLaff pocket change. He can grift that out of his idiot base in 10 seconds.

@GottaLaff I wonder if his attorney’s will get reimbursed for this…

William3rd,
@William3rd@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff The signature scrawled on the check is not an actual Trump-employed person. Looks to me like Habba fronted the money. Fat chance she ever sees it repaid.

bradpatrick,
@bradpatrick@esq.social avatar

@GottaLaff Objection - this is evidence that his attorney fronted the money for a fine, not that he paid it. I'm not a NY attorney, but the fact that it was cut from an IOTA account begs the question of whether the Court accepts checks from operating accounts, which could bounce. You bounce a trust check, you lose your license.

legalquilts,
@legalquilts@mstdn.party avatar

@bradpatrick @GottaLaff OMG what client did they "borrow" this money from? Because no way he handed over cash and a check wouldn't have cleared already.

Blob_Calder,
@Blob_Calder@federate.social avatar

@legalquilts @bradpatrick @GottaLaff
Looks to me as if the attorney got money up front, put it in her trust account and will bill against the deposit.

msbellows,
@msbellows@c.im avatar

@Blob_Calder @legalquilts @bradpatrick @GottaLaff Exactly. The fact that it came from an IOLTA means it WILL clear, guaranteed. This lawyer isn't dumb enough to do otherwise.

SonofaGeorge,

@GottaLaff Because his lawyers can't put him in jail.

Me too. My response is to suggest the "Yes, and" method, which I learned at Bay Area Theatre Sports.
I want show people how we can move the story forward.

(BTW, I studied under Keith Johnstone at the Loose Moose Theatre in Calgary Canada.
He wrote the book Impro: Improvisation and the Theatre)

@spocko I studied the Viola Spolin method, but it was also Yes, and...

I got to sit down with Teddy Flicker once! What a guy.
