First footnote:

The government also asks the court to incorporate the Order into Defendant’s conditions of release. Resp. in Opp’n to Mot. to Stay, ECF No. 120, at 30–32. The court hereby DENIES that request without prejudice. Even assuming that request is procedurally proper, the court concludes that granting it is not necessary to effectively enforce the Order at this time.

Trump's conditions of release are not modified.

I have been following this case closely, and that temporary hold is already lifted.

Not being snarky, I really want to know: source?

And that doesn’t include the very real prison time he’s facing thanks to the generous RICO laws in Georgia ...

In fact, the penalty for a RICO conviction in Georgia is 5-20 years in prison and/or a fine of not more than $25,000 or three times the pecuniary value gained from the criminal enterprise.

That "or" is gonna do some heavy lifting.
