Forgot the !

🤭👉🏼 “ offered NY appeals court a bond of only $100 mil to pause the more than $450 million penalty he faces in his civil fraud case, a clear sign that the former president lacks the $ to cover the full amount.

..also asked to pause enforcement of finan penalty & wide range of other punishments the judge levied.”

@jadugar63 @TerpieCat @GottaLaff I never got around to looking to see if the NY case included any proposed true total (maybe not necessary for the case).

Forbes, Bloomberg, etc, say about 1.6 to 2.6 billion.

A lot of his fraud inflated values by lying about the nature of the assets, often because they are hard to sell for one reason or another, so a short-notice sale might mean accepting major low-ball offers.

Cash and liquid securities though... only about 100 mil +/-. lolz
