Judge Rules Trump Committed Fraud, Stripping Control of Key Properties

Going rate as in the selling price at that time

You seem to think that the buyer can buy the property from the owner and extinguish the easement. He can't. He will have to take the property subject to the easement and all of its restrictions.

... $454 million bond ...

I have no idea how any of this stuff is going to play out, but what I do know is:

New York Appeals Court Pauses $464M Judgment Against Trump

KRISTINA WONG 25 Mar 2024

A New York appeals court on Monday said it would pause the clock on enforcing a $464 million judgment against former President Donald Trump, according to a report.

The state appeals court panel said it would stop the clock if the Trump Organization and top executives posted a $175 million within 10 days, as reported by the Associated Press.

The dramatic last minute reprieve comes after Trump’s lawyers said it would be impossible for him to secure that amount of cash.

Trump posted on Truth Social that he would abide by the decision of the appeals court.

Do you think that the county wouldn't agree to terminate the easement and receive the tax windfall that would be due to them in that situation?

What choice does Trump have? Of course he will abide by the decision of the appeals court.

The 175 seems like a decent compromise for all involved.

Based on what? Isn't it about how the property will be used? So why wouldn't it be up to the property owner?

Trump benefits more from delay than they do. If elected, he'll use the entire executive branch as his law firm

What delay? If he doesn't make the appeal bond then it's over unless he can file a Rule 60 motion within a year and a rule 60 motion doesn't stop the judgment from going into effect. He could file a Rule 59 motion for a new trial which would give him more time because a Rule 59 motion stops the execution of a judgment until it is ruled on. But he may have just filed a notice of appeal which would preclude the Rule 59.

No in Florida they would have to go to court and have it changed. Realistically, in this part of Florida knowing the right people plus a few well placed bribes and it wouldn't be much trouble to get rid of the easment. It happens every day here.

Good, hopefully they all go to prison for a long, long time.

The appeal itself is a delay

Lock her up!

Regardless, the easement would not in any way, shape or form reduce the value of that property from hundreds of millions of dollars to 18 million dollars. That's preposterous, and everyone who doesn't have TDS knows this. This is textbook lawfare, and James and Engoron should be both disbarred and imprisoned for fraud and malicious prosecution (I just made that one up, I think). Any or other way, however, this ruling is absurd on it's face, and is destructive to the principle of a free and fair judicial system.

Not to 18 million. But the easment does significantlly reduce the value.

Did Hillary ever try to steal his properties?

A compromise would be the Judge and prosecutor don't go to prison. A good compromise would be they only go to prison for 5 years.

Trump could easily negotiate away the easement by building a park in the city for $20 million.

The easement means almost nothing in the grand scheme of things.

That's my point which you seem to not understand Without somebody making the appeal bond there is no appeal.

There were other reasons to lock Hillary up. But here's why that didn't happen.

Oh look, and here Bill swapped out Hillary for a younger model more on par with Trump's wife Melania.
