Desperate Dotard:Keep Your Filthy Hands Off Trump Tower

@#10 ... I've thought for a long time that some entities (probably Russians) are pulling Donald's strings because he owes them a significant amount of money. ...

BaFin to Deepen Deutsche Bank Money Laundering Investigation (Feb 2019)
www.financemagnates.com

...Deutsche Bank released a statement on Friday saying that BaFin, the German financial regulator, has extended the remit of an independent auditor examining the lender's role in the Danske Bank money laundering scandal.

The case stems from an ongoing investigation into the Danish bank's Estonian division.

After a whistle-blower sounded the alarm about the activity of certain customers, most of whom were from Russia and the former Soviet Union, in late 2018, it became apparent that Danske Bank's Tallinn-based operations were doing business with some less than scrupulous individuals.

It is alleged that the bank laundered around $225 billion from 2007 to 2014. If that is the case, it would potentially be the largest instance of money laundering ever uncovered.

Deutsche Bank falls into the mix as it acted as Danske Bank's main correspondent bank. According to the Financial Times, the German bank was responsible for facilitating $180 billion in suspicious transactions....

Deutsche Bank Offices Are Raided In Money Laundering Probe (Nov 2018)
www.npr.org

...In recent years, Deutsche Bank has been in the news not only for its prominence in the Panama Papers, but also for its ties to President Trump, in a tumultuous relationship that goes back some 20 years.

Trump and the bank once sued each other after he failed to repay a $300 million loan. And the author and reporter Luke Harding has described a "shuffle of money" between the bank's dealings with figures in Russia and its business with Trump. ...

They should repo the "T" off of the sign.

Or just relabel it to 'Fraud Tower'.

That may be closer to the reality of the situation.

Stated differently,

If Trump Tower is so precious, why cannot fmr Pres trump negotiate an equity loan so that he can post bond?

Polonium for Trump?

Putin needs his pound of flesh.

It seems like a miscarriage of justice to require the fine to be paid before the appeal.

@#17 ... It seems like a miscarriage of justice to require the fine to be paid before the appeal. ...

How can following the law be a miscarriage pf justice?

It is not a requirement for the fine to be paid before an appeal, but a requirement that the fine can be paid quickly should an appeal fail.

It is the law in NY.

There it is!
I knew you would come through.
Trump is being treated unfairly.

It's not peculiar to NY, either, and thousands and thousands of people have had to do it for decades. Now that it's Trump all of a sudden it's a problem? In California the bond is 150%. Trump's lucky he's in NY.

Do you really not understand how the appeal process on civil matters works and why?

Trump chose to play the game stupidly and deceitfully and he got caught. The rules are the rules, though he's getting way more choices and coddling than any of us would get.

There it is!
I knew you would come through.

Seriously. He did just that - the one that swears he didn't vote for that orange oxygen thief.

He can't afford the appeal. Tough.

It seems like a miscarriage of justice to require the fine to be paid before the appeal.

To be clear he's not paying the fine before the appeal. He's putting up all the money to pay the fine should he lose the appeal. Plus a handy carrying charge for bringing the appeal and for the bond fees.

His choice. Like every other human has to do.

Right!

Think of it like escrow. It's to prevent someone from requesting an appeal and then, if they lose the appeal, just saying "So? I don't have the money anyway!".

"Trump is being treated unfairly."

Oh he ABSOLUTELY is.

Any one of us who took classified documents, refused to give them back, lied about still having them, and enlisted others to hide evidence, would be rotting in jail until the government deigned to give us a court date.

So all you "two-tiered" justice folks, say it with me: Until and unless Trump is jailed immediately without bail, he's being treated unfairly.

NY Gears Up to Seize Trump Westchester Assets If Bond Unpaid
news.bloomberglaw.com

... New York state's $454 million judgment against Donald Trump in a civil fraud lawsuit was formally registered in Westchester County just outside Manhattan, a sign that his properties in the area may be at risk of being seized if the former president fails to post an appeal bond.

New York Attorney General Letitia James registered the judgment on March 6, according to the Westchester County Clerk's online database.

The filing didn't give a reason for the registration or identify any Trump assets, but it will allow James to more easily secure liens, should she decide to do so, on two of the real estate mogul's most valuable properties: Trump National Golf Club Westchester and the mostly undeveloped 212-acre Seven Springs estate. ...

Judge in Trump's civil fraud trial imposes monitor to oversee Trump Organization's finances
abcnews.go.com

... Effective Thursday, former President Donald Trump's namesake family real estate company has a babysitter.

New York Judge Arthur Engoron, who oversaw Trump's civil fraud trial, imposed a monitor over the Trump Organization as part of a judgment that also required Trump to pay a nearly-half billion dollar penalty.

Barbara Jones, a retired federal judge, has been overseeing the Trump Organization's finances since November 2022 as part of a preliminary injunction. She is now installed for the next three years.

As part of the arrangement, the Trump Organization must open its books to Jones, who has also been given the ability to suggest court-ordered changes in how the Trump Organization operates.

She must be notified about any large cash transfers, the creation or dissolution of assets, the restructuring of debt and "any efforts to secure surety bonds," according to Engoron's order issued Thursday. ...
