There's no big volume today- looks like we're just trading with the market.
Obviously not in time to post his bond, anyway.
@CourthouseNews
The Wall Street debut of Donald Trump’s Truth Social network could give him stock worth billions of dollars on paper. But the former president probably will not be able to cash it out right away, unless some things change.
Sounds about right. I take it then that they don't put a reserve on it before the sale.
A little more on getting ready for seizures.
Donald Trump, unable to front a half billion dollars to pay off his recent bank fraud judgment, now effectively has liens placed on his massive, forested estate north of New York City, according to public records and several court clerks who spoke to The Daily Beast on Thursday.
Documents show that New York Attorney General Letitia James has started preparing to seize his family’s hallowed grounds at Seven Springs, the billionaire tycoon’s Bruce-Wayne-like mansion nestled on 212 acres of dense woods and rolling hills.
James quietly filed judgments in Westchester County on March 6 against the former president, his eldest sons Don Jr. and Eric, and several of their companies—just as they unsuccessfully tried to stall the case.
The Trumps and some of their top executives lost a three-month bank fraud trial in New York City, with Justice Arthur F. Engoron concluding they routinely lied about the tycoon’s wealth and ordering them to pay $464 million.
Although Trump is appealing the case, in recent days he has made clear in court filings that he is unable to find a surety company willing to issue a bond that would halt that judgment before a March 25 deadline, at which point the AG could start seizing their assets by force.
But Westchester County records show that James isn’t waiting to position law enforcement agencies to grab at his extensive Monopoly board of properties. The AG’s Office officially filed the judgment in Westchester at 9:03 a.m. on Wednesday, March 6, according to county records.
Two employees at the clerk’s office explained that the move effectively means that the AG has placed liens on any and all properties that belong to Trump, Don Jr., Eric, the Trump Organization, and two of their other listed corporate entities.
The “blanket lien” now in place means that if Trump tries to sell any property in Westchester County, a title search will reveal that there is a half billion dollar judgment hanging over his head.
Seven Springs was one of several real estate ventures that factored into the AG’s bank fraud case against the former president. For years, Trump failed in his attempts to develop the property into a luxury golf course and slice up the land into expensive mansions for sale. The property—which is filled with red oaks, sugar maples, and huckleberry bushes—spans across three towns, and residents in each one
https://www.thedailybeast.com/attorney-general-prepares-to-seize-trumps-massive-new-york-estatesuccessfully blocked his plans to bulldoze the forests there to achieve his dream.
In the end, Trump opted to donate much of the land to conservation. But investigators said he snagged an unfairly large charitable tax write-off by overestimating the value of the land.
I'm not up on what happens after she decides to seize an asset. How many times can Trump delay a sale of the property? Who give it an actual; non Trump value for a sale?
The Trump Organization will now be under even more control of a former federal judge who has been monitoring Donald Trump’s eponymous family company, following a court order on Thursday that punishes the former president for committing bank fraud.
Barbara S. Jones, who has been babysitting the real estate company for more than a year, was granted enhanced powers by New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur F. Engoron—the same judge who ordered Trump to pay $464 million for lying about his wealth for years.
While the company previously had to notify Jones anytime it shifted more than $5 million or engaged in business deals, she now has the right to essentially do whatever she deems necessary to keep the Trump Organization from engaging in dirty business practices.
At a recent three-month bank fraud trial, Justice Engoron determined that Trump had faked personal financial statements by vastly inflating the value of his buildings and assets—enriching the company by giving it access to loans and insurance policies on false pretenses.
Jones, a former federal judge who’s a lawyer in private practice, was given the authority to review the entire company’s “day-to-day operations,” internal records and financial accounting. She can also hire any outside contractors she wants to keep the company honest—and put it on Trump’s dime.
Engoron’s new order called it “a productive and enhanced monitorship.”

If NY Attorney General is able to start enforcing her judgment as soon as next week, don’t expect Trump Tower to top her list. Why? Because as recently as August ‘23, Trump reported Axos Bank still has an outstanding loan on that property for “over $50,000,000.”
Yes, this list of his liabilities is from six-plus months ago, and there has been public reporting that certain loans have been refinanced. But don’t sleep on the fact that this disclosure was signed by Trump himself—and that he initialed each page. 2/
And giving credit where it’s due, you can find Trump’s August 2023 Office of Government Ethics disclosure — in 3 parts — where I did: through @CREWcrew
, which obtained it in October and has posted all three parts for all to see:

Those are all good ones today.
Some are good, I tend to prefer the less complicated ones.
Done! Egg and spam?? good god. About as bad as french fried potato.
That's such a terrifying thought- and yet we know it's true. Trump and his Russia loving allies and thugs need to be stopped from ever coming even close to the Presidency- by whatever means it takes.
It a[[ears Comer finally did something right. Parnas is opening Pandora's box.
@RonFilipkowski
I would like to thank James Comer for this last Hunter Biden hearing. It provided a national platform to Lev Parnas to expose some of the corruption of Trump, Rudy, Barr & their other henchmen. His testimony will dominate the news cycle, & we thank Comer for making it possible.
What I would like to know is how the bleep you got off my ignore list. Putting you back now.
I was not necessarily referring to his philanthropy. I do personally know him. You don't.
Well- it looks good- but not good enough to eat! I'll pass on that one too.
Never tried one. Tuna salad, chicken salad, egg salad yes, but not potato salad sandwich.
Done! Tomorrow's look interesting. However- whatever they put up against the "Chip butty" is what I'll vote for. French fried potato sandwich does not appeal!

I really like the way she goes about her philanthropy. She and Melinda French Gates make a good pair. Their ex's? Not so much.

ok- I've voted for today. (I had to look up half of them)
Remind me tomorrow.
That's the way we like to see it! And I'm sure Trump hates seeing it.
Too bad, So sad.

BREAKING: Donald Trump says he is unable to post the $464M+ bond needed to stay his NY civil fraud judgment.
The bakery where I get the french bread also makes sage /onion french rolls. I will slice and caramelize some sweet onions and add Skellig cheese to the french dip sandwich. Served with Au jus, of course. I think I have some horseradish/mayo sauce, but if not I can put some together. doesn't need much.
I'm sure that's a good sandwich. I am not a big ham fan. Jay loves ham sandwiches so we always have some, but mine tend to be some form of chicken, turkey or beef. This week I will grill some top sirloin which, sliced thin, makes excellent French dip.
Today's lunch sandwich was roast chicken with Kerrygold chedder cheese panini- bread was sage and onion french bread.,
I scrolled through all of the pictures.
That looks very interesting and I love sandwiches. However- I like ones that I can comfortably take a bite from - not something 8" tall. if you remind me- I will vote.
And after that-

Yes, it is. I've been following that and I was pretty sure it would go our way, but you never know,
My guess is that was an order imbalance correction.
