Trump facing a 'world of hurt' as he scrambles to get $175M bond accepted: expert
Raw StoryThe paperwork for Donald Trump's $175 million bond was rejected by a court that determined key details were missing — and then New York Attorney General Letitia James challenged the "sufficiency" of the bond, saying that the surety backing it is not admitted in New York. Atlanta-based market economist Jon Gabrielsen said James could start seizing the cash in Trump's accounts if the bond is not posted by Monday's deadline. Trump posted a $175 million bond earlier this month to prevent the seizing of his assets while he appeals the $454 million civil fraud judgment that was leveled against him for inflating his assets. Since an appeals court lowered Trump's bond from around $454 million down to the $175 million figure, Gabrielsen says it might make it harder for Trump to negotiate if it turns out he can't come up with $175 million.
