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.
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.
That could be possible. And delicious.
A state is run by people and that can easily change. I don't think they're likely to seize assets before appeals.
If Trump wants to appeal, he has to put the entire judgement amount, plus 20%, into escrow.
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
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.
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.
No need to focus on her - she can buy 83 Million dollars worth of bubblegum if she wants to.
Except this will piss Trump off even more. She's proving that she's not trying to enrich herself in any way.
We all know he will drag this out forever. They may both die before he pays a nickel, escrow or not. But I hope I'm wrong.
Well if I understand process correctly the first $5 million that he was forced to put in escrow for the appeal he just lost should be hers within the month. The large sum however will likely take years at the minimum.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
As soon as E. Jean Carroll heard the verdict on Friday — $83.3 million in defamation damages against Donald J. Trump — a world of possibility opened before her: How to use the money?
Ms. Carroll, appearing relaxed and happy in her lawyers’ offices on Saturday, spoke in her first interview since the Manhattan jury’s award in her favor a day earlier.
Ms. Carroll, 80, sued Mr. Trump, 77, for defamation after he called her a liar in June 2019, when she first publicly accused him, in a magazine article, of sexually assaulting her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room decades earlier.
After the verdict on Friday, Mr. Trump, issued a new attack on social media: “Our Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon.” But he avoided criticizing Ms. Carroll, a silence that spoke volumes.
Ms. Carroll praised the lawyers who have litigated her cases for more than four years, resulting in jury awards that have totaled nearly $90 million.
As Ms. Carroll and her lawyers defend their verdicts on appeal and continue to fight to obtain the full judgment, she said she felt inspired to use the money to make real changes.
The original article contains 988 words, the summary contains 199 words. Saved 80%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
As a Trump-hating liberal Democrat, I wish there were more evidence against him for this. Not the defamation - he quite obviously did that - but the sexual assault.
It's such a touchy subject because many people don't come forward for years or decades after it's happened. But your ability to mount a defense against an accuser diminishes over time, which is why we have statutes of limitations.
What were you doing 30 years ago today? Prove it.
Carroll didn't seem to have a lot of great evidence. My understanding is that alleges that she told two friends and that's it. Seems unethical to say he did it for sure without a bit more proof. That's all I'm saying.
I'd like to get Trump on things he's definitely done. He's done plenty of horrible shit. Every time we get him on something that toes the line or isn't proven, he's going to get a boost in the polls.
I'm excited and happy for her victory over this orange-faced monster, and I have a suggestion for doing something good with the money. Hire some cartel somewhere (because apparently we citizens are too cowardly) to walk up and shoot him in the face on 5th Avenue.
There could be no greater good or delicious irony to come from this whole thing.
