Donald Trump faces financial challenges as he owes about $540 million from recent court losses, exceeding his typical real estate loans.
To challenge the verdicts, he may need to post a supersedeas bond of around $600 million, requiring cash or collateral.
“The courts do not want to act as a bank, and it is far simpler for them to accept a bond,” Jurisco Inc CEO N. Alex Hanley said.
Trump’s legal troubles, including pending criminal cases, are funded by donations, but the recent judgments are personal expenses.
Trump’s history with banks could affect his ability to secure bonds, and posting cash with the court is an alternative.
The appeal bonds, with interest, could strain Trump’s finances, potentially impacting his wealth significantly.
The former president may seek to reduce bond amounts or explore other funding options.
