A former president for the first time ever begins a criminal trial after having to post a $175 million bond in another case and seeing the stock of his company fall by half in the weeks following its IPO and you’re laughing. You’re laughing!

people sit at a table laughing together for several minutes.

One of them finally stops laughing long enough to wipe sweat from his brow.

He speaks.

“I’m sorry…(he waits to catch a breath).

“Have you tried asking your real father… (again, pauses, takes breath and blurts out)…Gary Busey?”

Once again, the entire table of double over in laughter.

Eric Trump stares ahead, dumbfounded.

    Breaking: rapist has posted a bond of nearly $92 million in E. Jean Carroll defamation case. The posted bond is exactly $91,630,000.00, which includes a district’s courts common practice of requiring a bond of 110% of the judgement.

    Insurance company Chubb underwrote the $91.63 million bond for Donald Trump, which the former president signed on Tuesday, March 5.
    Under the terms of the bond, Chubb will only secure the appeal of the $83.3 million judgment, not any future appeals.

    Rapist got someone to give him almost exactly that amount. America has no idea who that is or who he is now beholden to, and that is unacceptable as a counterintelligence matter.

    The whole world wants to know where the money to purchase the bond came from.

    And U.S. intelligence needs to know.

    A billionaire shouldn’t need an agency to post his $90M bond. That should be chump change to a billionaire. Where’s Mr. I’m so rich when it comes to paying his bills?

    @skykiss@sfba.social avatar

    UPDATE: Judge Kaplan is giving E Jean Carroll’s team time to object. The case is not stayed, it is unknown what was presented as a bond. If he paid cash into the clerk’s custody there should be proof. What are the odds that it’s a scam?❗️

    "I wonder if they issued it without collateral…normally a surety will not issue an appeal bond without cash collateral of some amount. Plus he has a premium to pay which is likely large given the bond limit. Typically one has to sign an indemnity agreement to reimburse the surety from any payout… I was told his history with the surety industry is bad (defaults on prior due to BK filings) so I’m surprised any surety would take this on. Likely lots of pressure by bullies" -sharonrusconi

    The Bank of Japan will probably need at least nine years to normalize its balance sheet, in the earliest-case scenario, after a massive monetary easing program that has run for more than a decade, according to a former executive director. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/03/06/markets/boj-balance-sheet-years-to-normalize/
