Agreed. If not the pokey, then a fine commensurate w/his [purported] wealth.

After the / it’s ~$6.4B

In the trial when he breached the , he was fined $5k. It had no effect.

That’s what an avg defendant would be fined. Per empower.com the avg NYer’s net worth is $651,131 (median: $59,404).

$5k is >1% of $651,131.

If ’s net worth is $6.4B, he should be fined $51.2M

That might shut him up.

One fraudster gets 25 years . The time it took from the arrest to jail two years and he was in another country.

The other fraudster , who SAed a woman , had multiple SA accusations, ran grifter charities, schemes and scams , stochastic terror on our Capitol, fake electors, oversaw inept pandemic response that led to excess deaths in the thousands , fake University, Steaks , Wines , a total snakeoil salesman with 88 indictments no jail and is running for President.

The ruling by a 5-judge panel of appellate court judges is a crucial & unexpected victory for , staving off a looming financial disaster. Had the court denied his request — & he failed to obtain the full — he was at risk of losing control over his bank accts &, eventually, even some of his properties.

For now, those dire outcomes might be on hold. The bond will prevent the ’s office, which brought the case, from collecting the judgment while he appeals.

per Lisa Rubin, though I’m not sure, pt4 seems to address this

got his case reduced to $175M…,but the court denied his motion to stay the provision of the judgment forbidding him from borrowing from financial institutions registered or chartered in .
His team previously told a judge on the panel that staying that provision was integral to his ability to obtain a bond.w/o a stay of that provision, Trump may have to post his own cash in the next 10 days.

Lisa Rubin corrected her mistake.

The court DID stay the provision barring & his companies from borrowing from financial institutions registered or chartered by NY's Department of Financial Services. Trump now has to post less & can borrow $ more easily.

There’s speculation that the appellate court is signaling that they may reduce the disgorgement amount. Which they should not. has been benefiting from this for decades & not paying the correct amount in taxes for both state & federal by lying about the values of his assets.

NEW: A California judge has recommended that John #Eastman, the lawyer at the center of Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, be disbarred and lose his #law license.

#Scotus' Ginni Thomas's good friend and fellow insurrectionist John Eastman, the former Orange County law school dean who helped forge Donald Trump’s legal strategy for retaining power after losing his 2020 presidential bid, should be disbarred, a State Bar Court judge ruled Wednesday.

Judge Yvette Roland’s recommendation to yank the 63-year-old Eastman’s license to practice law in California will go to the state Supreme Court, which has the power to approve it.

In a marathon trial that lasted off and on from June to November, the State Bar, the agency that regulates lawyers, Eastman is unfit to practice law for peddling bogus claims that fraud cost Trump the election and for promoting a fake-elector scheme to block the electoral count.
