A New York appeals court on Monday agreed to hold off collection of former President Donald Trump’s $454 million civil fraud judgment — if he puts up $175 million within 10 days.

If he does, it will stop the clock on collection and prevent the state from seizing his assets while he appeals.

Delay. Delay. Delay.

Summary of Trump being held accountable for his crimes:

Yeah I have no idea how I fell for the same, “Trump is in real trouble this time” article that journalists have been pumping out for the last 6 years.

What do you expect from a country where money can buy you anything, including justice.

[-] FarFarAway@startrek.website 1 points 3 months ago

I'm just being silly, but isn't this technically due to his lack of money?

[-] Nudding@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

He led an insurrection on the capitol building almost half a decade ago and he's still walking free and running for president. Do you think he has seen any meaningful consequences, or does money make the world go round?

[-] FarFarAway@startrek.website 2 points 3 months ago

I'm not saying he didn't, that it doesn't, or that he has. It's just that the whole reason were talking about this is cause he over-inflated the value of his assets and nobody wants to loan him money. Technically, if he had money to pay for this, he wouldn't be in this predicament. He wouldn't be begging people to put it on credit. Any reasonable rich person would just pay the damn thing and get it out of the way. Then again he's not reasonable... but I digress.

I'm sure this was just a "legit" way to get the amount lowered / pander to his base / kiss his ass. It sucks that nobody has the gumption to give him the consequences he deserves, but I don't care if he says "he has the money," or had the money in the past to get to the presidency and get everyone on board with his demented plot of world domination. If he doesn't pay it, he ain't got it. There's a reason nobody with actual money would loan it to him.

Yes, greed rules the world.

Guess we'll see if he goes to jail or becomes king. I know what my money is on.
