Add the Carroll verdict and we are North of $440 million in about 3 weeks.
Edit: Also need to calculate statutory interest on top of this. Appeal bond is going to be brutal.

Oh, shoot. I thought this was the Carroll verdict (or rather, the appeal to it). Getting hard to keep track lol.

Read it last night. What I think is notable (besides the awesome-in-the-original-sense sum of money) is that Judge Engoron has retracted his previous order to lump-dissolve the Trump businesses. Because the Trump entities are going to be under supervision by not one, but two independent monitors, Engoron has decided to decide those on a case-by-case basis. Given how widespread the fraud in the Trump ecosystem appears to be, I expect this judgment to be the gift that keeps on giving.
In any case, massive props to Engoron for a) taking this important step into the societal dark, and b) keeping a cool head in the face of the defense’s shenanigans.

Trump will never be able to pay it off, but Jared’s Saudi buddies can.

They know he won’t pay, but banning his business is the awwwww part.
Ps. I don’t hold my breath.

Call me when he’s run out of appeals. Still though, it feels good for his bullshit to catch up a bit.

I’m looking forward to his two super pacs running out of money and potentially him having the RNC’s finances to bankrupt in time for the general election.

Judge Arthur Engoron issued his decision after a 2½-month trial that saw the Republican presidential front-runner bristling under oath that he was the victim of a rigged legal system.
Engoron concluded that Trump and his co-defendants “failed to accept responsibility” for their actions and that expert witnesses who testified for the defense “simply denied reality.”
The stiff penalty was a victory for New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, who sued Trump over what she said was not just harmless bragging but years of deceptive practices as he built the multinational collection of skyscrapers, golf courses and other properties that catapulted him to wealth, fame and the White House.
Trump, one of 40 witnesses to testify at the trial, said his financial statements actually understated his net worth and that banks did their own research and were happy with his business.
He has been indicted four times in the last year — accused in Georgia and Washington, D.C., of plotting to overturn his 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden, in Florida of hoarding classified documents, and in Manhattan of falsifying business records related to hush money paid to porn actor Stormy Daniels on his behalf.
On Jan. 26, a jury ordered Trump to pay $83.3 million to writer E. Jean Carroll for defaming her after she accused him in 2019 of sexually assaulting her in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s.

There was a point I was convinced he would never be charged for anything. It’s not enough, but it’s still much better than the worst case scenario, so I’ll take it.
