  • Is it me or have they missed the fact/story that he's not able to secure $147m?

    He had $400, less $83m from his other case = $317m in liquid assets.

    ... and $464m - $317m, means he should be short about $147m, right?

    Given all his real estate I'd have thought $147m should be a trivial amount to obtain.

    Unless of course he's full of shit and never has anywhere near $400m in liquid assets.

  • The $400m in cash was said on court docs some time ago. I have heard some journalists say that has been invested somewhere now.

    Even if he only needs to 147m, how can a man with 400m in cash and billions in assets be unable to secure a bond? I suppose that there could be a political element, it could also be that the bond is viable but the companies don't believe that they can call it in on a sitting president so any security is meaningless.

    Could also mean that he can't afford it.

  • I did wonder if it was a risk thing, given that he's not renowned for paying debts at the best of times. But surely you take a charge over some assets and lend the money? Would a president be able to block that? Or is it the ensuing fallout that means it's not worth it?
