How funny would it be if he can't raise the $175 million either.
He's already recently stated he has the full half billion in cash on hand, just refuses to pay in cash, and bonds companies won't touch him.
They didn't give him a break because he can't pay, they gave him a break because he refuses to.
He's also a well known liar. There's no reason to believe he has the full amount in cash
In a situation like this, he should be held to his word.
He's the one that's said he has the funds available; so why should he get a break?
It'd be different if that figure was pulled from thin air; but it was based off of his own valuations.
I'm not saying he should get any kind of break. If he can't put up the money they should start seizing property. I'm just not convinced he has $400M lying around.
They gave him a break because he put half the supreme court in there, which is all downwards pressure.
Are there Supreme Court Justices in the New York court of appeals? (I haven't taken the time to look) can they even serve both?
This particular one isn't a federal case.
He says lots of things.
Almost all of them are lies, and/or contradict other things he has said.
