And what’s really insidious about this is that there’s another provision in New York law that requires Trump to pony up the full amount or to get a bond for that amount just to appeal this decision.
So it’s a sort of a perverse incentive for figures like this judge; he made this so large that it could force Trump to liquidate assets in New York just to be able to get other judges to look at this. So it’s a grossly unfair situation, and I expect a lot of businesses are very uneasy after watching this unfold.
