US former president Donald Trump, his adult sons, and two former Trump Organization officials, on Monday (local time), appealed the USD 464 million judgment entered against them in the New York attorney general’s civil fraud case, according to CNN.
Trump filed a notice of appeal with the court on the first business day after Judge Arthur Engoron made the judgment official.
Moreover, he is personally on the hook for USD 454 million, including interest payments, as reported by CNN.
The attorneys in their filing, highlighted that they were appealing the money judgment and other relief, including the bans against the Trumps from serving as officers of New York corporations for years and whether the judge “committed errors of law and/or fact, abused its discretion, and/or acted in excess of its jurisdiction.”
However, it was not immediately clear how Trump planned to cover the money needed for the appeal.
Moreover, the former US president will have to put up cash or post-bond to cover the USD 355 million and an additional roughly USD 100 million in interest he was ordered to pay, CNN reported.
Additionally, his sons were each ordered to pay over USD 4 million back in gains they improperly received because of the fraud.
Jeremy Saland, a criminal defence attorney, said, “If he does not provide all those dollars then that interest is going to keep ticking throughout the entirety of the case. The bottom line is he’s in trouble.”
“He doesn’t have to put up the money to appeal. He puts up the money to stop bleeding more money. The way to cover that wound is with cash,” Saland added.
Reportedly, the interest accrued at an annual rate of 9 per cent until the payment is made in full, the lawyers said.
If Trump posts a bond, which could be backed by properties or other assets, it stops the attorney general from seizing his property, as reported by CNN.
Trump could also ask the appeals court to stay the judgment or ask them to not require him to post the money until later.
According to some lawyers, it is more common for companies to have to post judgements of this amount, but the sheer size of it for an individual is in some ways uncharted territory.-ANI

Hello there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions? With thanks
Thanks a ton for your post. I would really like to comment that the cost of car insurance varies greatly from one plan to another, for the reason that there are so many different facets which contribute to the overall cost. For example, the brand name of the motor vehicle will have a large bearing on the price tag. A reliable ancient family vehicle will have a lower priced premium when compared to a flashy expensive car.
Just wish to say your article is as astounding. The clearness in your post is simply nice and i could assume you’re an expert on this subject. Fine with your permission allow me to grab your feed to keep up to date with forthcoming post. Thanks a million and please carry on the enjoyable work.
Hello. remarkable job. I did not expect this. This is a great story. Thanks!
Thanks for every one of your hard work on this website. My niece delights in getting into research and it’s really easy to understand why.

Have fun with the remaining portion of the new year. You’re the one carrying out a superb job.
I do enjoy the manner in which you have framed this specific matter and it does indeed present us a lot of fodder for consideration. Nevertheless, coming from just what I have seen, I just simply wish when the comments pack on that people today remain on issue and in no way start on a soap box involving the news du jour. Yet, thank you for this excellent point and though I can not go along with the idea in totality, I value the point of view.
Another thing I have really noticed is that often for many people, a bad credit score is the response to circumstances further than their control. By way of example they may be really saddled by having an illness so they have higher bills going to collections. It may be due to a occupation loss or perhaps the inability to do the job. Sometimes divorce can truly send the budget in an opposite direction. Thank you for sharing your notions on this blog site.
