You were correct the first time. It's 120%.

lol, ok, fixed it again

Why 120%? To cover the interest that will accrue during the process?

sorry I didn’t answer before— I don’t know why 120%.

edit: according to some others who have answered this: it’s to cover any interest which might accrue during the appeal process.

Lol I was just joking around. Another article mentions it's to cover interest.

oh, no I felt bad that I didn’t answer the last person who asked because I got confused.

is it to cover interest? one would think that the holding institution would do that, but it makes sense that that shouldn’t be the ones responsible in a trust/escrow situation. I thought it might be a court fee situation, but a percentage amount wouldn’t make sense for that.

thanks for doing the research!
