If former President Donald Trump posts the money, it will prevent the state from seizing his assets while he appeals.

A New York appeals court on Monday agreed to hold off collection of former President Donald Trump’s $454 million civil fraud judgment — if he puts up $175 million within 10 days.

If he does, it will stop the clock on collection and prevent the state from seizing his assets while he appeals.

Delay. Delay. Delay.

    He’s still on the hook for the full amount if his appeal fails

    You know how long appeals can take right? Considering he can now get someone else to pay the relatively small bond, he’ll be dead from old age before he ever has to pay a dime of his own money.

      Believe me, I’m not saying this is a good thing. He’s definitely getting special treatment, and I think that’s wrong. However, it’s not quite as bad as it sounds.
