This sounds like quid pro quo. He loans Trump the money to appeal and if Trump becomes President he makes all the court cases go away and get Mr. Hankey's regulators to give up.
This isn't a loan. It's more like insurance.
A surety company promises to pay the bond if the defendant loses. So the financial status of the company is very important, and that's why this bond is raising eyebrows.
As the old folk used to say "Birds of a feather all shit down our backs together."
Shitbirds, Randy.
I hope he realizes he is not going to see that pay off.
They will if he gets elected, impedes the system by firing anyone with a clue, and shuffles federal money to them without recourse because presidential immunity
2 weeks tops before Trump is swearing up and down he paid the money himself out of his own pocket and his base believes every word of it.
He already did. They were posting all over the place about how he "paid in cash!!!!". That's the message he put out the same day the bond was put up.
With the same reasoning some people use not to pay their graphics designer, when they're too naive to trust their clients and won't ask for a percentage of the payment upfront: but think of the exposure you're getting! That is worth something, no?!
He's counting on a cabinet position if Trump gets elected
Didn't work out so well for MyPillow guy.
Mike pillows didn't really come into prominence until after Trump lost his election.
Trump's first term in office had a bunch of donors packed into cabinet positions.
I’d wager him to be counting on a favorable business environment to continue his loan profiteering.
Oh man. South Park doesn't even need to do work anymore.
Seems that there are some issues with the bond. See https://youtu.be/_ATmnBSwYyU
Meaning, apparently the company can only vouch for a bond that's up to 10% of its assets. The company isn't big enough to vouch for this bond. In the financials they added another company to pretend they're big enough, but that company isn't legally involved with the bond. So pretty dishonest at best to add an unrelated company.
Yet another twist.
I know people like trump, and people like trump don’t make you money. People like trump provide you cover to make money while you break rules, and they get a slice.
So he's been weaving these court cases into his campaigning, how is this not running afoul of FEC rules? Surely a massive bond with a court case that's elicited by the candidate would fall under potential bribery?
Nah, that's just lobbying
Will Don Hankey be the new Mike Lindell?
Probably
I hope it bankrupt him to like Mike pillow.
Mr. Hankey the Christmas poo?
Mr Hankey?
They kept calling him that on the news the other day and I couldn't help but giggle.
They knew exactly what they were doing.
Hankey is up to some pankey
If you pay their bond, they let you grab them by their trump.
Can’t wait for the rambling trump speak post that hes getting debt collector calls 7 times a day and he’s pissed
So now the possible Cheeto in chief will be controlled by ~~puta~~ Putin and Mr Hanley the Christmas poo?
Awesome, nothing to see here!
he didnt put up as much of the bond as new york appeals court judges did
