Bond rejected

Why were Trump’s bond documents rejected and what is next for his civil fraud appeal?

Missing financial information meant that some documents were ‘returned for correction’ to Donald Trump and his legal team

www.independent.co.uk

Fucking hell, spunking an estimated $230,000 per day in legal expenses, and they can't even correctly submit, what should be something simple for them.

The blunder was first spotted by New York attorney Jeffrey K Levine, who posted a screenshot of the court’s explanation for the rejection, which read: “The court has returned the documents listed below for the following reasons: Please include a current financial statement and Power of Attorney.

“Additionally, please list the name of the Attorney-in-Fact under the signature line on the Undertaking. Please use the ‘Refile Document’ link for Doc. No. 1707 to resubmit the corrected filing. Thank you and have a great day.”

Has he ever read anything?

What? He wrote the bestseller The Art of the Deal.

I don't know.

Inside the Terrifyingly Competent Trump 2024 Campaign

With Donald Trump mostly focused on his own legal peril—leaving staffers free to run the campaign—the candidate’s third bid for the White House is as efficient as it is explicitly authoritarian. How worried should you be? Very.

I've given up hoping that trump will get convicted of anything or have to pay anything to anyone and am now just concentrating on the entertainment value

That Guy Who Backed Trump’s Bond? He May Not Have the Money

New York Attorney General Letitia James doesn’t trust Don Hankey.

newrepublic.com

New York Attorney General Letitia James has some questions about Donald Trump’s $175 million bond insurer—mainly, if it can even guarantee the full amount if push comes to shove.

In a court filing on Thursday, Knight Speciality Insurance Company revealed that its liquid assets don’t meet the needs of Trump’s already minimized bond. According to a financial assessment, the company, owned by billionaire Don Hankey, has just $138 million in “surplus.” Knight would therefore need to spend 127 percent of its reserves in order to cover Trump’s bond—far more than the 10 percent of a state-regulated suretor’s surplus that’s allowed by New York law.

Lawyers for the attorney general’s office also noted that the insurance company was trying to operate “without a certificate of qualification” in the state.

James’s office has given Trump and his new financial bedfellows 10 days to “justify the surety.”

All of that is a death knell for an insurer. Even trying to operate outside your licence is by itself pretty darn serious

It's only going in one direction and is a huge drop from it's highest price. He'll be livid.

 

[teqniq]

Trump's over-inflated head for the win is not the win they think it might be.

Difficult to tell - One of his "believers" was banging-on in all seriousness about how "Looking at the eclipse will turn you Jewish" earlier.

I always thought one direction was a band, hey what do I know?

 

[PR1Berske]

No date. And there is a higher NY court to which Trump can appeal after that. So it’s not going to be finished before the election.

All this leading to him winning the election and letting rip across every court in the land makes me relatively happy about the large ocean between us and them.

I don’t think he will, personally. Not convinced by US polling. Maga candidates have been doing worse than expected, possibly because even Republican women don’t really want Gilead. By November, he’ll sound even more paranoid and ugly about his legal issues - and more and more like a loser. His core vote won’t be enough.

Maybe it's already happened and was picked up on seismographs the other day.

Pointless looking at the last month, Truth Media wasn't floated until around 26th Mar., in some sort of weird take-over by an existing business, hence history is shown before that date.

The share price soared for a couple of days, before the long journey south.

Truth Social owner soars after float sets up £3.6bn windfall for Donald Trump

Donald Trump could be in line for a £3.6bn windfall after his social media company's share price soared on its debut on New York's Nasdaq stock exchange.

The shell company was already floated and created solely to take over another company (i.e. truth social). Apparently it is a way of getting round some of the regulations when floating a company.

Indeed, but Truth Media was only folded into the shell company around the 26th March.
