To be fair, Letitia James is now saying she is going to try to seize his assets if he doesn't pay up.

I hope she is able to do so. It’s pretty clear that TFG will not willingly pay any amount of money.
TFG? the fucking grapefruit? I have no idea what that acronym means.
Probably Trump Financial Group.
Possibly Tiny Flaccid Gimp

Oh my god... Does that mean.... that.....
.... Something might actually HAPPEN?
Take that hope behind the fucking house and beat it to death, and then shove it way deep down inside where it can never fucking escape again

amazing
Imagine having been president and contemplating bankruptcy to nullify the case/repayment
(I'm just thinking aloud, hypothetical situation... but lol)
While some judgments can be cleared with bankruptcy... Judgements based on fraud are not one of those.

He won't. His estate will be seized and liquidated and it won't even begin to cover the fine, because the value of everything he owns is criminally overinflated.

I once typed in the wrong number in my electric bill and got my lights shut off. It was like 10 dollars. Somehow when you're rich enough you can just choose to pay things or not.

My entire mortgage is his fucking interest payment, but if I stop paying the fractional payments on it -- which this asshole spends in a day on overcooked steaks and too-long ties -- they'd take my house. Start fucking taking his stuff, goddammit.
$10k would entirely change my life. That's it, that's all I'd need.
I could pay off my debt, then I'd be able to afford a roof over my head.
Fucking seriously... There is so much money in these asshats hands that he's dealing with daily interest that amounts to 1.5x my YEARLY income...
the highest salary I've ever seen on a tech job posting was 900K, offered by Netflix for a networking god.
Even that guy would be broke by lunch on day 11.
A person so singularly gifted that one of the highest paying companies on the planet had to offer that just to find them, and this fucking bag of sewer gas has that in his coat he hasn't worn since the 80's. Really makes it easy to justify hating these absolute parasites that contribute nothing and own everything.

That's only 220 pairs of sneakers a day
This could really hurt his other legal cases. Lawyers will be less enthused to represent him if he might go bankrupt on them and not pay the bill.
And they will be more likely to demand retainer at onset. One recently demanded $3M retainer before starting.
Unfortunately, there are always more lawyers stupid enough to work for him and assume they'll get paid. I think the quality on average just gradually goes down.
Which is doing him unfavors. Appealing this is going to be really hard because Habba didn't lodge any objections to any of the evidence, cutting down grounds for appeal.

His lawyers have already been quitting left and right. His lead counsel in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case withdrew in January, leaving Alina Habba, who has very little trial experience, to handle the damages portion of the case. Her inexperience got her in a lot of trouble with the judge. She kept violating basic trial etiquette and trying to argue facts of the case that had already been established (remember, Trump had already been found liable and they were just supposed to be arguing the amount of harm to establish damages).

Can we please get a 90 day cap at which point straight to jail?
This is a civil trial. He won’t go to jail, they’ll just start seizing his assets.
I’ll take that too. Looking forward to seizures. Concerned it’ll just never happen :/
Alex Jones still hasn’t paid shit.
I'm pretty sure that's still advancing. Last I heard the families who won against him were moving towards seizing his assets.

I bet you could even strategically seize ones you suspected might have compromising things?

Does anyone actually believe he's going to pay any of this? I highly doubt it.
If he doesn't, the state has the authority to sell off his assets to recoup the money.
He might not have much cash, but New York real estate isn't cheap.
has that bag of shit Alex Jones paid a fucking dime yet?
Not yet but his creditors voted to liquidate his assets yesterday (?). The gears are slowly grinding.

That's only $32M per year, seems like not much of a penalty compared to what he's not paying.
A life-ruining amount of daily interest for a normal person is even a blip for a fake, likely broke billionaire.
Until he goes to jail, that interest and that fine isn't going to matter to him. He can just ride it out until he's dead.
They need to give him a maximum of 4 months to pay it off or he goes to prison.
Maybe he'll get Epstiened in there and we can be rid of him for good.

I can't imagine 87k per day.
Can I get this in a better metric like number of trump jumps per mooch?
That’s more than I make in 3 years. In one day. But anyone thinking he’s going to pay anything should go buy a bridge. This is America, people. The most corrupt place on earth.
Criminals run the country, and criminals protect each other.

Don't worry guys. His supporters will give him money. I hope anyone with trumpy parents is cool with not getting any inheritance.
His fundraising has kind of fallen off, I understand the donations aren't keeping up with all this money going out. It's hysterical honestly, dude is prob going to die a pauper and ruin his entire legacy which honestly he deserves after what he did to this country.

I love that for him.
I wonder if this will just be another OJ Simpson situation where he owes money but fucks around paying it and the courts never enforce the ruling.
