(6,580 posts)and he is not above cheating anyone and everyone that gets in his way. I think the overseer in the fraud case should have been notified if he used that property (they have marked all of it) in this EJ bond bid. But, I don't know what those rules are, except that she caught the fact that he transferred $40 million to Florida when he wasn't supposed to do that. So, I would investigate that, whether he encumbered that property for the bond. Or, is that property already tied up in the fraud case, and he can't use it to pledge for the bond?
See, this is where the clean transfer of an appeals bond begins to cloud. And, that's probably why the bond needs to be investigated, or the source of the collateral needs to be amplified. IF, the bond company has given him a bond without any collateral, because the bond company owner is chummy with Trump, quid pro quo, then THAT is of grave concern in terms of a payout for Carroll. Robby Kaplan might even motion for her own 3 day extension to figure this out. What's Trump gonna do about that?
I support EJ's position, and I want her to WIN. Whatever she wants, from attachment to a bond, to Carroll 3. I have heard nothing but good things about Robby Kaplan, how smart she is, so I hope she is investigating out the wazoo each aspect of this. If the bond company has no dog in the hunt, they might refuse to pay, although I'm not sure that they can. But, to me, I hate to say it, something could be afoot. I go back and forth. The bond company could have given him an empty bond in preference to ALL of his New York property in the fraud case. And, I wouldn't be surprised if they are the bond company in that appeal.
But, I am not sure if any of that is illegal. I think that you would have to prove nefarious intent on the part of the guy that was in Trump's administration, and that would be hard to do. So, EJ might be better off taking the original bond. The whole thing is all for her and Robby getting paid.
