Hmm but he can't post bail?

The rich spend no money unless it benefits them.

He doesn't need to anymore. He can just keep delaying and having the courts lower the amount.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago

Self-reported?

And I bet I’ll still pay more income taxes than he does.

Bruh, you say you're a leftist out here to criticize dems, then you post brainless Trump shit?

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world -5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Bruh, I already commented billionaires should not exist. It's news. I posted it. Even CNN and MSNBC are reporting on it.

[–] quindraco@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

How dare you post news people dislike in the news sublemmy. What's next, holding an unpopular opinion in the unpopular opinion sublemmy? You should be ashamed of yourself.

Lemmy has ostrich syndrome where they burry any news they don't want to have to acknowledge happened. It's kinda pathetic.

[–] halferect@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

But... uh? Is this self reported? We can assume this is BS since it would be based of his properties and not liquid and since he can't get a bond we can assume his properties are leveraged to the hilt and effectively worth nothing. If he actually was worth that it would be no problem to get a bond or at least multiple smaller bonds to pay his fine and no major player will touch him.

Billionaires should not exist.

The article is behind a paywall. If you look at other articles, the status change is due to the Truth Social stock that just went public, and he owns 58% of the stocks. The stock jumped up by a lot. But he can't take it out for another 6 months.

So starting today, he'll probably have a bank that will loan him enough to make bond since there's a good chance he can pay back in 6 months. However, I hope it completely tanks by then.

[–] formergijoe@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Plus the bond got lowered to $175 million

Thanks, I hate it

What does the world insist on playing these fucking games. Everyone knows that is all bullshit money, I mean, he’ll make a shitton off a worthless meme stock but we’re not talking billions.

I’m so fucking tired of all this.
