Trump lawyers attempt to evade 78% of appeal bond requirement.

"The exorbitant and punitive amount of the Judgment coupled with an unlawful and unconstitutional blanket prohibition on lending transactions would make it impossible to secure and post a complete bond," his lawyers wrote in today’s filing. "Appellants nonetheless plan to secure and post a bond in the amount of $100 million."

Impossible? Then I say you must provide it in cash, sir, or you get no relief from the NYAG’s collection efforts. The thing about FAFO is that after the FOs start to roll in, you should ease up on the FA. It’s the first law of holes.

The quotes come from attachment AA to a 1794-page filing in appellate court. AA-15 is page 1767/1794 in the PDF for doc 3 in appellate case 2024-01134

NYAG writes:

There is no merit to defendants’ contention (Mot. at 14-15) that a full bond or deposit is unnecessary because they are willing to post a partial undertaking of less than a quarter of the judgment amount. Defendants all but concede (Mot. at 16) that Mr. Trump has insufficient liquid assets to satisfy the judgment; defendants would need “to raise capital” to do so.
