Lol.. good luck getting Trump to pay up. He's a renown dead beat who never pays anyone. Even Rudy Giuliani is now realizing this and has spoken out.

If he doesn’t, the state of New York will simply start seizing his property. If anything, the state of New York has proven that they’re not fucking around anymore.

Trump losing Trump tower would be epic but I won't hold my breath.

[-] RunningInRVA@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

He likely will when the fraud suit against him is done.

Does he even own it? I think it’s owned by someone else and they just license his name. He may have a stake (percentage) still, but I don’t think he even still owns a majority share.

N.Y. might be seizing the property regardless with the results of the real estate fraud case.

Wouldn't the state take the property and say Trump doesn't own it. Therefore Trump would be forced to sell OTHER properties to pay Carroll.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

That could be possible. And delicious.

[-] Bipta@kbin.social 1 points 9 months ago

A state is run by people and that can easily change. I don't think they're likely to seize assets before appeals.

[-] SaltySalamander@kbin.social 6 points 9 months ago

If Trump wants to appeal, he has to put the entire judgement amount, plus 20%, into escrow.

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 9 months ago

If he wants to appeal, Trump will have to put up the assets for an appeal bond himself.

I wish I could believe the authorities would have the balls to do their job and enforce laws and judgments against wealthy rapists, but they generally don't

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 6 points 9 months ago

i mean... you're currently commenting on an article about Trump having been successfully prosecuted twice and what the plaintiff is going to do with the money from her judgement... so, the authorities did do their jobs in this case.

[-] formergijoe@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

He's appealing, so he has to put the money plus extra in a court controlled account. The court will pay her if he loses the appeal.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
