Self-proclaimed "Billionaire" Donald J. Trump is begging the court for special treatment, as he can not post bond nor pay his legal penalties.
In a court filing, Donald J. Trump is asking for special treatment and to be allowed to post a bond in an amount far lower than legally required of his New York fraud judgment. Trump admits he can not afford to meet the amounts needed and that he may have to start selling off buildings in a fire sale. The NY AG's office is having none of it:
"There is no merit to defendants' contention that a full bond or deposit is unnecessary because they are willing to post a partial undertaking of less than a quarter of the judgment amount," the attorney general's office wrote. "Defendants all but concede that Mr. Trump has insufficient liquid assets to satisfy the judgment."
