Now do Florida. I'd bet everything that Trump did the same thing with Mar-a-lago.

Florida probably has weaker business fraud laws.

Leticia, you’re never gonna get the smell of rancid hamberders out.

But please do it anyway!

The article didn't mention anything about a time frame? So when might this happen? Before the appeal is heard maybe?

After each verdict Trump has a 30-day window to come up with cash or a bond to appeal. If he doesn't meet that requirement they can immediately begin seizing his assets. If he meets that requirement, enforcement will be stayed pending the appeal. He also can't appeal if he doesn't meet that requirement. With interest, he needs to come up with close to half a billion to appeal all three civil cases he lost.

The thought of him losing his buildings months before the election makes me so happy!

Well he claims he is a multi-billionare with over 400 million in cash and a total of almost 10 billion in assets, I'm sure he will be paying something that small quickly and with no drama whatsoever. Right?

Thanks for that. So the next few days will be interesting. My guess is he'll wait until nearly the last day to file an appeal - to drag proceedings out as much as possible.

I'm here for it, but I think this kind of thing needs to go further. Get all the developers who do this. Start with the largest wrong doers.

Now's the time to buy stock in popcorn distributors. If they repurpose the Trump tower to something like the "Katherine Johnson Memorial Museum of Influential Women of Color" then demand is going to be fucking HIGH!

I'm all for it.

And then when they can't be sold at anything close to reported value go after him for the differance too.
