Does anyone actually believe he's going to pay any of this? I highly doubt it.
If he doesn't, the state has the authority to sell off his assets to recoup the money.
He might not have much cash, but New York real estate isn't cheap.
has that bag of shit Alex Jones paid a fucking dime yet?
Not yet but his creditors voted to liquidate his assets yesterday (?). The gears are slowly grinding.
It's still being drug out. He's lost the case, but tried to hide his assets so that he could declare bankruptcy without actually being bankrupt. The current legal fight is basically to show that he's being a greedy cunt and to force him to sell the assets he has tried to hide.
They have him dead to rights though. He can drag it out, maybe even for several more years, but they will get their pound of flesh.
why would you compare that grifter with this basically identical grifter
Jones isn't really analogous.
Trump won't declare bankruptcy.
True.
Him being super rich is a major part of his self-image.
He has done it several times before.
That's fine. He has a lot of properties tha they can -and will- take. He can still appeal, but that might make it even worse, and in the mean time interest is running.
I believe to appeal he first has to put 110% of the amount owing in escrow
110% plus interest
If there's one thing I've learned about Trump over the past decade, it is that he always finds a way to weasel out and somehow manage to get millions of conservative votes in the process.
They've already said they'll seize his ny assets if he refuses to pay.
