Once again the CLAIMED real estate (slumlord) lawyer PROVES he is not a lawyer and is likely just a janitor in a law office.interesting point.....around here people are able to post appeal bonds pledging a lien on their real estate......why is this judge requiring a cash bond?......
oh thats right......he doesn't think that Trump's land is worth more than $18M........
The Judge has NOTHING to do with the structure of the Bond and CANNOT and WILL NOT dictate what type of securities the Bonding Company can accept for a Bond.
If a Bonding company shows up with a Bond (or the client with their bond), that is typically all the Judge cares out, outside allowing the winner of the case to ensure they think there is nothing fishy with the bond or Bonding Company.
Now pay attention PMP, as once again i am going to educate you on Real Estate law.
The challenge with using Real Estate is that it often has a lot of fluctuation risk in liquidation (is the market going to be hot or cold if they are forced to sell it), is it encumbered (1st, 2nd, 3rd mortgages and other debt), and can you TRUST that the CURRENT owner is full disclosing that data to you.
Anyone who would use Trump's Real Estate for a Bond, has to accept he is liar and fraudster, up front, and if he had 3 private contract mortgages on each building, eating up all equity, sitting behind the banks, he would not disclose that to. It would only be at a Bankruptcy hearing that these people would show up, show the contracts they entered with Trump Org, and they too would have to get a share of any equity that was present in those buildings. So Bond firms are rightfully weary of taking Trumps Real Estate, and if they do they would only offer him cents on the dollar, hoping that protects them.
