Former President Donald Trump owes an additional $87,502 in post-judgment interest every day until he pays the $354 million fine ordered by Judge Arthur Engoron in his civil fraud case, according to ABC News’ calculations based on the judge’s lengthy ruling in the case.
Judge Engoron on Friday fined Trump $354 million plus approximately $100 million in pre-judgment interest in the civil fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, after he found that Trump and his adult sons had inflated Trump’s net worth in order to get more favorable loan terms. The former president has denied all wrongdoing and has said he will appeal.
Engoron ordered Trump to pay pre-judgment interest on each ill-gotten gain – with interest accruing based on the date of each transaction – as well as a 9% post-judgment interest rate once the court enters the judgment in the case.
If you think there is no way to appeal a judgement against you without paying it first, I have a bridge to sell you. Regardless, I didn’t say anything about a bond being required, I said he doesn’t have to pay it to appeal. He doesn’t.
At the end of the article moron.
“While Trump’s appeal will prompt an automatic stay of the enforcement of Engoron’s ruling, Trump needs to first put money into an escrow account or post a bond in order to appeal.”
He cannot appeal unless he puts up the money, and the bitch doesn’t have enough money. So his only option is getting it from someone else, which will be hard for him. Maybe Putin will help our orange wannabe dictator out though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
