Judge Arthur Engoron issued an order on Thursday requiring former President Donald Trump to disclose ahead of time any transfer of assets or creation of any entities.

The order was released as the former president's fraud trial in New York enters its fourth day, and places Trump, along with the other defendants in the case, under the scrutiny of an independent monitor appointed by Engoron.

The independent monitor appointed in the order is former Judge Barbara Jones, and it mandates that the defendants provide her a "list of all entity defendants and any other entities controlled or beneficially owned by Donald J. Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Allen Weisselberg, and Jeffrey McConney."

"I was gonna move this before the order, so I still can."

Ordered on trial day 4, we can see where this is going.

For (6) at the bottom, since he has to disclose third party co-owners, equity partners and lenders for all their businesses, it could expose his lack of ownership of Trump Organization.

So… that’s fun!

I think that's actually spelled out more clearly in the third "ORDERED" on this page.

Anyone know the Over/Under on Melania fleeing to Mother Russia with 90% of Trumps assets?

Which at this point has to be a buck seventy-five in loose change.

She's Slovenian which is a NATO ally.

If only someone would leak the post-nup she just renegotiated again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I would remittance the fuck out of that money. She's got family in Slovenia. Idk what kind of person she is but I'd build out a business empire or something.

If it wasn't for the war maybe but right now it's incredibly hard to move funds into RU or out.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (3 children)

wouldn't he have already moved all this stuff before the trial?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The problem is that he has decades of his and his family’s businesses being founded and run in New York. It’s only over the past couple years that he’s trying to get out. For a competent person this would be a long and difficult task taking years. If you’re an idiot who can’t get a lawyer, you’re screwed.

Judge is probably more trying to keep him from moving cash and valuable objects or making bank transfers. In the meantime, all his businesses and properties will be sold off

If he were smart

I don't know if he's humble enough to think that he might have needed to.
