      How the fuck do you stay in business when this is the kind of “investments” you make…?

        He’s investing in a republican future. Republicans mean more money for people like him. It honestly is a very simple business decision that could lead to big profits in the future.

        Easy, you continue to make money and stay alive when you do what your Russian handlers are telling you to do.

        Insurance companies understand risk. Trump undoubtedly had to put up some serious collateral to secure the bond. Like casinos, insurance companies know how to come out on top of any transaction.

    @Rapidcreek so the guys that appraised Trump’s properties in the fraud case are covering his bail? Well at least now we know what premium Trump paid for the bail: he paid with keeping their dirty secrets.

    This might not be a popular view here, but I believe the guy. We all know Trump’s dubious history about paying people, I’m sure this guy does, too. This company is large enough that Trump can’t make them go away by ignoring and delaying it.

    And, we might end up with Chubb simply taking a bunch of Trump properties. Could we end up with Chubb Tower? That alone might be worth it.

      Funny you say that because there’s company called Chubb security in my country and “ I was like no fucking way” but different Chubb.

        Chubb security is named for its founder- a guy whose last name was Chubb, and who invented the Chubb lock.

    yea, I’m extremely anti-trump, but i don’t have a problem with this. Unfortunately the American legal system operates on cash bonds, and i have no doubt they charged him a real high rate.

      I don’t understand your comment. You’re saying a bad thing is okay because it’s happening to a bad person.

        Not at all, Im saying its OK for a bond company to help a bad person get a bond, since that’s part of the american legal system. I would prefer cash bonds be gotten rid of entirely, since a wealthy person who is a flight risk shouldn’t be able to just put money forward, while a poor person stays in jail.

          This is not a bail bond, this is an appeal bond.

          Bail bonds keep the accused out of jail before trial. They have a lot of problems.

          An appeal bond is used to delay payment that someone owes after a trial, like Trump owes to Carroll.

            Fair enough, thats a difference I wasn’t aware of.

            Its still how the American legal system works, and if appeal bonds are available, they should be available for all.
