The judgement, which included a $65 million
punitive award, was challenged by Trump's lawyers who claim there is a "strong probability" that
the amount will be decreased or eliminated.
On March 7, Kaplan said that he won't postpone deadlines for posting a bond that
would guarantee payment to Carroll if the
judgement stands after appeals, NPR reports.

The judge went on to say that any financial harm Trump incurs is a result of his slow response to the verdict made in January.
Trump's lawyers didn't seek to
delay the date in which the bond must
be posted until 25 day later, Kaplan said.
.
Mr. Trump's current situation is a
result of his own dilatory actions, Judge Lewis A.
Kaplan, via written order.
Nor has Mr. Trump made any showing
of what expenses he might incur if
required to post a bond or other
security, on what terms (if any) he
could obtain a conventional bond, , Judge Lewis A.
Kaplan, via written order.
... or post cash or other assets to
secure payment of the judgment,
or any other circumstances
relevant to the situation, Judge Lewis A.

The judgement will be final on March 11.

Trump Can’t 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.".
Defendants’ ongoing diligent
efforts have proven that a bond
in the judgment’s full amount
is ‘a practical impossibility.’, 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. .

Sam Bankman-Fried , Sentenced to 25 Years , for FTX Fraud.
On March 28, Sam Bankman-Fried was sentenced to
25 years in prison after being found guilty of defrauding
users of FTX, the now-collapsed cryptocurrency exchange. .
NBC reports that Lower Manhattan federal district
Judge Lewis Kaplan found the defense's arguments
misleading, speculative and logically flawed.
The judge accused Bankman-Fried of committing
obstruction of justice and tampering with
witnesses while mounting his defense.
Kaplan reportedly said that those
factors played a role in his decision
about how to sentence Bankman-Fried.
Prosecutors had originally sought a longer sentence
of 50 years, while the defense fought for
Bankman-Fried to get no more than six and a half years.

What he’s done is such a
disservice and should never

So I greatly respect the decision
of the Appellate Division, and I’ll post
either $175 billion in cash or bonds
for security or whatever is necessary,
very quickly, within the 10 days. , Donald Trump, via statement.
And I thank the Appellate Division
for acting quickly, but Judge Engoron
is a disgrace to this country, and this
should not be allowed to happen, Donald Trump, via statement.
However, James' office points out that the judgement still stands, even if collection is paused. .
