In a filing to an appeals court, Trump's attorneys said getting the bond needed to halt proceedings while they appeal is a "practical impossibility."

      As much as I want Trump to be locked up, it would have to be for one of his multiple criminal indictments. Locking people up for not being able to pay fines is basically recreating debtors prisons and is hugely unfair to poor people.

      It says in the article.

      Either he starts paying now, or if he wants to pay after the appeal then he has to have a bond.

        Dumps showed up at a sneaker convention a few days after receiving his 454-milkion dollar civil fraud judgment with some boxes of gold sneakers that cost $399 a pair in a typically transparent ploy to cover his costs.

        Allegedly, his 1000 "never surrender high tops sold out, though he hasn’t paid any of that sentence yet and the thousand available pairs would cover less than .1% of his fines for that single judgment.

        Also, a lot of people booed him when he showed up at the convention.

        Fox hosts notably thought this was a great way for trump to be "connecting with Black America. Because they’re into sneakers, they love sneakers. This is a big deal. Certainly in the inner city.”

          On the first one, yes. This is the second one, that he’s failed to post bond for, and won’t be allowed to appeal unless he can.

          The third was videotaped as he walked out of the verdict on the second.

      Applying for emergency funding grant from my workplace to move back home and get a new home. Things are actually looking pretty good for me after seven months of living a complete and utter nightmare. When I got the news that I will probably be given the financial assistance I finally need as long as my paperwork is in line, I had to step off the sales floor and going to the bathroom and cry a little bit. I had a really good day today.

      It’s been A really long time since had something to hope for

      I was curious, so I did the (lazy) math.

      1 USD is going for about 90 Rubles currently.

      Assuming a Ruble is roughly the size of a USD…

      A $1M USD stack made of 100 x $10,000, or 10 x 10 stacks measures 12" across x 13" front to back x approx. 5" tall. That is 780 cubic feet or a bit more than 22 cubic meters.

      At $464 USD, assuming 90 Ruples per USD and that Rubles are roughly the same dimension as a USD (464 x 90 x 780 or 22) we get 32,572,800 cubic feet or 918,720 cubic meters.

      Cargo ship size is usually measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), based on the volume of a 20-foot-long (6.1 m) intermodal container. The internal volume of one of these containers is 1,172 cubic feet or 33.2 cubic meters.

      Assuming a standard container size, it would take 28,710 TEUs to move the entire Trump bond via ship. The maximum TEU of the largest container ship listed on Wikipedia is 24,232, leaving Trump 4478 TEUs, 5,248,216 cubic feet or 143,296 cubic meters, and $72M short.

      TL;DR: Even with the biggest boatload of Rubles, Trump would still come up short on the bond.

        12" across x 13" front to back x approx. 5" tall. That is 780 cubic feet or a bit more than 22 cubic meters.

      Yeah for real. Putin may be a dick, but unlike Trump he is way ahead in the dictator plays and is estimated to be sitting at well over 100 billion USD. 500 million to bail out the US president who would gladly take the U.S. out of NATO for him seems absolutely reasonable.
