No, Eric, they want to avoid losing $454,000,000.00.

Thank you! I actually dropped three of the fuckers ‘cause I wanted all the zeroes possible to display because he owes that many zeroes.

One of the most ridiculous false pretenses Trump tries to maintain is that he can only pay with a single, $454M bond, and since he can’t get one that large, he should, obviously, just be forgiven the amount entirely and let off the hook.

What he doesn’t want anyone to know is that, obviously, he could just get several smaller bonds for, say, $50M or $75M or $100M until it added up to the $454M or however much he needs to post for the appeal. In fact, he even tried to offer a $100 bond before, but used it instead in the E Jean Carrol appeal.

We gotta teach the trump’s how to count? No wonder they committed extensive fraud for decades.

Like literally chubb dogded a bullet lending this money earlier rather than having to be available for the next big payout. If you ask me is a small price to pay for salvation

They still loaned him a fuck ton of money that they sure won’t ever see again. So I don’t know how they dodged a bullet.

Chubb did a fully collateralized bond. Meaning they got something of actual value, not just trump’s word. In this case a Schawb brokerage account full of stocks and bonds for (I believe) more than the value of the bond. Plus Chubb probably added a fee on top of the value of the bond to service the transaction. When trump loses the E Jean Carroll appeal, Chubb will hand over cash and sell off the assets in the Schawb account and pocket their service fee.

Possibly he knows that, and is just trying to bleed his supporters for donations until the last moment.
