His lawyers may be in trouble, again. Hankey was willing to put up the whole $$$ amount instead of a reduce amount, and they didn’t inform the court and the court ruled to reduce the bond!trump has defaulted on about $4 billion in his life, so has a long history of defaulting. We only recently found out that he had a $100 million mortgage on trump tower, and have no idea how much more of his assets have been hollowed out. Many of his assets are commercial real estate, which in this market is very difficult to future value. Most of the rest is his brand name, which is also very, very questionable.
trump has gotten a major gift that he is allowed to post a lower bond. It is a minor gift that he could post any bond. Defaulting on the bond this early in the process is a real mess for trump.
