I was ready for this one!

Seems like they really missed a good headline
110 0 Replyso he actually has to pony up the full amount now? no more bond, just pay it?
79 0 ReplyHe can appeal this to the Circuit and then that to SCOTUS. So, closer to exhausting all appeals, but not there yet.
60 4 ReplyI don’t see how SCOTUS would ever agree to take this case, either. That said, I won’t put it past them
58 1 Replycould the circuit court refuse considering the egregious nature of its current disposition?
21 0 ReplyIt's a New York state civil case. SCOTUS would be going way out of their way to get involved in this one.
8 0 ReplySCOTUS won’t override a state court on matters of state law. The will always defer to the highest court in each state unless there is a federal question involved.

Isn’t this just in regards to the first defamation trial; not the second, $400+ million one?
28 0 Replyyep.
hes about to lose that 400m bond fight also, so say bye-bye to that new york property
that said, its just money. there are enough morons in the country for him to grift his way back into the black. doesnt matter how much he loses.
its just so satisfying to see this criminal finally fucking lose something
39 1 ReplyThe $400m was for tax fraud and deceiving banks.
5 0 ReplyThis is the 2nd defamation trial (the first being 5 million iirc). The 400+ million one was the NY fraud trial for inflating the value of his properties. It is hard to keep track of them :)

I expect he can still appeal. He is the most unappealing person ever, yet always has another appeal....
28 0 ReplyIf he makes any more motions he might actually lose some weight.

I believe the appeal needs to be denied by the second circuit, and then he will have to pony up the cash.
14 1 Replyand then he will have to pony up the cash.
...or E Jean Caroll will be paid by the Chubb Group who issued the bond.
9 1 ReplyHe already had to post a bond for this appeal— so he ponied up the cash. Carroll just doesn’t get it until all appeals are exhausted.
