Trump's fraud case bond payment reduced to $175 million, delaying AG James' efforts to seize assets - NaturalNews.com

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : By manipulating his net worth and inflating the value of his properties, Trump and his sons, as well as other associates, were able to obtain lower interest rates than if they had told the truth.
30% : Since there are none to find in this case, this person says Trump is innocent.
28% : The appellate court responded by reducing the amount as well as some of the terms, but is not letting Trump off the hook.
24% : Others say that Trump committed crimes and must now pay for them.
21% : This is the ruling of a New York appeals court that decided Trump has just 10 days from March 26 to pay the $175 million bond for his civil fraud case.
21% : (Related: Some businessmen are so angry at the ruling against Trump that they are threatening to stop doing business in New York.)
21% : In arguing against the ruling, Trump said he would not be able to pay the $464 million bond before the Monday deadline.
20% : The appellate court's ruling giving Trump 10 days to pay the $175 million bond instead bars New York Attorney General Letitia James from seizing Trump's properties in order to enforce the judgment, which she previously threatened to do if he did not post a bond by Monday.
16% : Back in February, Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump and his co-defendants, which include his two adult sons and several former Trump Organization executives, to fork over $460 million in damages and interest for making fraudulent valuations of Trump's business assets.
16% : There are a lot of people who really do not like Trump, and the ruling, some say, is demonstrative of that rather than about Trump's miscarriage of the law.
15% : Judge Engoron wrote that Trump and his co-defendants knowingly "submitted blatantly false financial data to the accountants, resulting in fraudulent financial statements.""The adults at the appellate level saw the vindictive 'bond' as being usurious and it's ridiculous to have to pay a bond to appeal - typical NYC pay-to-play," one commenter wrote about Trump's case."Former federal prosecutors maintain there was no crime, no victims and Letitia ran her campaign to only get Trump.
