Trump Canât Obtain Appeal Bond , in New York Fraud Case.
According to a New York court filing
on March 18, Trump isn't able to secure a
$454 million bond as he appeals a civil business
fraud judgement against him, CNBC reports. .
Trump's attorneys said that getting the bond is "impossible" since it would "effectively" require "cash reserves approaching $1 billion.".
Defendantsâ ongoing diligent
efforts have proven that a bond
in the judgmentâs full amount
is âa practical impossibility.â, Donald Trump's lawyers, via CNBC.
Gary Giulietti, president of the
Northeast division of the Lockton Companies, was hired to help Trump obtain a bond.
Despite scouring the market, we have
been unsuccessful in our effort ... for the
simple reason that obtaining an appeal bond
for $464 million is a practical impossibility
under the circumstances presented, Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast
division of the Lockton Companies, via CNBC.
Simply put, a bond of this
size is rarely, if ever, seen, Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast
division of the Lockton Companies, via CNBC.
In the unusual circumstance that a bond of
this size is issued, it is provided to the largest
public companies in the world, not to
individuals or privately held businesses, Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast
division of the Lockton Companies, via CNBC.
Giulietti went on to say that a private company would need about $1 billion to put up as collateral to receive a bond of that size. .
While it is my understanding that
the Trump Organization is in a strong
liquidity position, it does not have
$1 billion in cash or cash equivalents, Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast
division of the Lockton Companies, via CNBC.
Meanwhile, Trump secured a $91.6 million bond earlier this month as part of a separate case
brought against him by writer E. Jean Carroll. .

How Fermented, Pickles , Can Improve Your Health.
'Time' recently offered readers
a guide to fermented pickles and how
to get the most out of this "super food.".
Fermentation, After sitting in brine for several weeks,
healthy bacteria acts on sugars inside
vegetables, converting them to lactic acid.
These live microbes also affect the gut
in a number of ways that improve health.
In general, fermented vegetables have been
linked to significantly improved glucose
metabolism and a more robust immune system.
Fermented veggies have also been linked to a lower
risk of Type 2 diabetes, decreased triglyceride levels
and higher HDL cholesterol in people who ate them.
Other studies have linked fermented vegetables to
reduced psychological stress, which supports the theory
that the gut and the brain exchange crucial information.
We know the microbes, organic
acids and other metabolites
in fermented foods influence
communication between the gut
and brain in a positive way. , Andres Gomez, microbial ecologist at
the University of Minnesota, via 'Time'.
'Time' reminds readers that
many vegetables can be pickled,
including cabbage, carrots and peppers. .
However, experts note that pickles also contain a high
amount of sodium, associated with a number of adverse
health outcomes, so it becomes important not to overdo it. .
Itâs okay to eat pickles daily if youâre
balancing out their sodium content
with fresh, low-sodium produce
like fruit and leafy greens, Frances Largeman-Roth, registered dietary nutritionist
and author of 'Everyday Snack Tray,' via 'Time'
