From my readings, the interest accrues at the rate of $3 million per month. But not to worry, help is on the way. In a normal world, we ask crooks and fraudsters to pay hefty fines and make restitution. In the MAGA world, they fund the crook's fines.

Quote:
Elena Cardone, the wife of real estate investor and influencer Grant Cardone, announced a short time later on X, formerly Twitter, that she had started a GoFundMe page to foot the bill. According to Forbes, Trump had a net worth of about $2.6 billion as of September.

The page, titled "Stand with Trump; Fund the $355M Unjust Judgment," had raised over $18,000 of the $355 million about five hours after it was launched. More than 400 donors contributed between $5 and $1,500 each.

Cardone, who described herself as "an ardent supporter of American values and an advocate for justice," said on the page that the fundraiser was intended to allow "patriots" who "stand with Trump" to "show our collective strength and resolve."

The question he is probably asking now, who will loan them money?

And the con continues. A day after the $355 million judgement, Trump is hawking his $399 shoes.

Quote:
PHILADELPHIA -- As he closes in on the Republican presidential nomination, former President Donald Trump made a highly unusual stop Saturday, hawking new Trump-branded sneakers at “Sneaker Con,” a gathering that bills itself as the “The Greatest Sneaker Show on Earth.”

Trump was met with loud boos as well as cheers at the Philadelphia Convention Center as he introduced what he called the first official Trump footwear.

The shoes, gold lame high tops with an American flag detail on the back, are being sold as “Never Surrender High-Tops” for $399 on a new website that also sells Trump-branded “Victory47” cologne and perfume for $99 a bottle. He'd be the 47th president if elected again.
Even some of the best consumer sneakers only cost around $160 or so when not discounted.

Also this rant from today in MI seems to be his basis for an appeal. But first things first, show us the money says NY AG.

Fraud like nobody's watching: Trump was probed for 5 years, and still wouldn't clean up his act
https://www.businessinsider.com/trum...obe-2024-2?amp

Trump's fraud-trial verdict targets his cash, his NY business address, and his control of Trump Org.

The verdict notes that Trump continued to commit fraud even while under investigation.

Now, any fuzzy math will be sent back to Trump for corrections by his court-appointed monitor.

He's been a crook his entire adult life. He doesn't know any other way. That's why I still say he is a flight risk. I can't see him willingly living under confinement. His way or no way.

If Trump we to exile in Russia soon, best that we all look the other way.
I would rather we have peace than chaos before the November elections.
Chances of Trump being incarcerated is nearly zero, not because he is not a criminal (insurrection & theft of classified documents should easliy fetch him life), but because the voters do not have the will power to lock up an ex-president. Why else is he the slam dunk Repugnant nominee for potus?

Myth and reality of the Trump brand:

Quote:
“My client is worth hundreds and hundreds of millions,” said one of Mr. Trump’s lawyers, Alina Habba, during closing arguments at the trial, adding, “let alone the brand, which is worth billions.”
Quote:
A review of the price per square foot of condominiums in the seven buildings in Manhattan that still carry the Trump name found that the value dropped 23 percent between 2013 and 2023, according to CityRealty, a real estate listing website. An analysis using a slightly different methodology by ATTOM, a property data analytics company, showed that the drop was 17 percent.
Trump is a unique individual businessman than none other by losing money in both real estate and operating casinos. Only way he succeeds is by stealing.

Michael Cohen suggests Trump’s mounting legal fees make him ‘thoroughly compromised’: ‘He is for sale’
https://thehill.com/regulation/court...e-is-for-sale/

True, but then he's always been for sale.
