The hearing on the INsufficiency of trump’s bond is scheduled for Monday 4/22 in Judge Engoron’s court.

trump sure has bought himself a lot of time keeping the New York DA from executing on Engoron’s judgment. Judge Engoron issued his findings and judgment on 2/16, and was filed with the clerk on 2/23. Originally the DA could have begun seizing trump assets on 3/25 absent a bond.
But trump got the amount of the bond reduced (possibly by misleading the court about availability of the larger bond) AND a 10-day extension until April 1 to file a bond in the new amount. But the bond filed on that date has not been accepted because of irregularities. Now the hearing on that isn’t till April 22! All the while the NY DA has not been able to start collecting the judgment.

@bronakins @Lon3star @mastodonmigration @GottaLaff but he’s paying for that time and time will run out.

Not necessarily — if he’s able to use the delays to rearrange his assets to render himself & company “judgment-proof”.
And yes, I know the monitor appointed by Judge Engoron is supposed to be micromanaging trump org business, but they have already hidden things from her.

Ps—I’m not a Debbie Downer about trump accountability here; I KNOW the law will catch up with them eventually, and fervently hope Engoron’s judgment here will be the beginning.
It’s just this delay of nearly a month and counting suddenly hit me, so I wondered what they could be up to? I know lifelong criminals gonna keep criming!

Feel your pain, and sympathize. Wealthy people are afforded lots of ways to draw out and avoid justice, and he has been a consumate master at it.

Here’s the timeline in an easier to follow format :

Engoron issued his findings and judgment on 2/16; an order wasn’t filed with the clerk until 2/23 (wonder why that took a week).

Originally NYAG could begin seizing trump assets on 3/25 absent a bond for $445+ mill.

On 3/21 trump got the bond amount reduced (maybe by misleading the appellate court about availability of a bond for the full amount) PLUS a 10-day extension until April 1 to file the much smaller bond!

The bond trump filed on April Fools Day (‼️) HAS NOT BEEN ACCEPTED because of multiple serious DEFICIENCIES; there won’t be a hearing until 4/22 in Engoron’s court.

All the while the NYAG has been STAYED from collecting a judgment she should have been able to start collecting on March 25. Who knows what steps trump&co are taking during this delay to make it more difficult to collect⁉️

@bronakins @Lon3star @mastodonmigration There are monitors. I’m not too worried.

Feel like the wheels of justice are just grinding away slowly. Nothing with government ever happens at the pace we might like to see it happen, but that doesn't necessarily imply a conspiracy, just business as usual. Trump is doing everything he can to gum up the works, and is succeeding to a degree, but he is losing, and his day of reckoning is coming.

Let's take the latest ploy with the bogus bond. This is a pretty novel move, and there probably isn't a way to just reject it out of hand. So, a legal proceeding is required, which will take a little bit of time. The bond is almost certainly bogus, so it will get shot down, but the state has to follow a legal process. A couple weeks is not that big a deal in the grand scheme. And, who knows, Hankey may find himself in hot water too when the dust settles.

@mastodonmigration Agree and 🤞🏼 @bronakins @Lon3star

@bronakins @Lon3star @mastodonmigration @GottaLaff after the initial verdict, Orangman and his legal clowns had 30 days to appeal. NYAG took the full week to dot the i’s and cross the t’s on the paperwork for arranging seizure

Trump can’t hide much, because there’s a court ordered financial monitor of everything Trump. Every move made is reviewed and reported to Enegeron.

@bronakins @Lon3star @mastodonmigration @GottaLaff (2/2)

The interesting thing on the 4/22 hearing will be Trump team’s showing where the $100M + for the bond came from. Could be shenanigans going of with Truth False which would catch the eye of the SEC and other federal lawyers. Especially as the stock drops like a stone.

Mastodon Migration Apr 13, 2024

@TrixieCarolina @bronakins @Lon3star @GottaLaff

Not sure there is any $100M + in any account. Hankey could just be making stuff up. Nothing any of these characters say should be given any credit unless it is in a sworn statement or filing, and even then it is likely some sort of misleading ruse.

Trixie Carolina Apr 13, 2024

@mastodonmigration @bronakins @Lon3star @GottaLaff agreed
Hence Judge E’s placement of a financial monitor. She already called out b.s. after the ruling relating to an intracompany loan for the Chicago property that was an Enron type paper lie.

This all is the biggest stink seen since Enron. But have to let the wheels of justice grind. But it’s financial minutiae and NY AG definitely wants it all correct

@mastodonmigration @TrixieCarolina @Lon3star @GottaLaff

After the Appellate Division cut trump a break by significantly reducing his bond, he files this questionable nonbinding bond. trump seems to be making a mockery of the New York Courts. They WILL NOT be in good humor.

Mastodon Migration Apr 13, 2024

@bronakins @TrixieCarolina @Lon3star @GottaLaff

Kind of wonder if most serious judges actually react to such shenanigans. They deal with criminals every day. It probably comes as no surprise that a criminal uses every trick in the book to get away with stuff. Their job is to see that the law is applied. They might feel a bit annoyed by a particularly sneaky gambit, but bet it doesn't change how they deal with the criminal all that much.

@TrixieCarolina

🎯🎯🎯🎯 There are a LOT of questions. The wording of the bond doesn’t bind Knight to pay if trump doesn’t, just promises trump will pay. Knight’s capitalization is much too low for the size of the bond. Knight not approved or even known to New York authorities to post bonds.

And possibly much more delay in the offing for a variety of reasons. We KNOW trump & lawyers supposed to be in Manhattan Criminal Court on April 22! Of course a defendant in a civil case doesn’t hafta be in court; I’m not sure if any of the lawyers are the same on the election interference/payoff criminal case and Engoron’s civil fraud case …

@Lon3star @mastodonmigration @GottaLaff

Mastodon Migration Apr 13, 2024

@bronakins @TrixieCarolina @Lon3star @GottaLaff

Yup. The bond does seem to be entirely inadequate. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. One of the more fascinating aspects is the bond my be rejected, but Hankey (Knight) still on the hook for the $175M.

@bronakins @Lon3star @mastodonmigration @GottaLaff
The only guy who was going to put up the larger bond is the same guy who put up the smaller bond that the DA doesn't like. So it doesn't seem like the big bond was going to happen.
