'A lot of money': Trump owes $87K in interest per day until he pays the fine in his civil fraud case

Former President Donald Trump owes an additional $87,502 in post-judgment interest every day until he pays the $354 million fine ordered by Judge Arthur Engoron in his civil fraud case, according to ABC News' calculations based on the judge's lengthy ruling in the case.

Judge Engoron on Friday fined Trump $354 million plus approximately $100 million in pre-judgment interest in the civil fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, after he found that Trump and his adult sons had inflated Trump's net worth in order to get more favorable loan terms. The former president has denied all wrongdoing and has said he will appeal.

Engoron ordered Trump to pay pre-judgment interest on each ill-gotten gain -- with interest accruing based on the date of each transaction -- as well as a 9% post-judgment interest rate once the court enters the judgment in the case.

Oh my god... Does that mean.... that.....

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

It would be nice. Who knows? It sure is worth trying and she seems to have been doing pretty well so far.
