Spielberg needs to make a movie titled "Swindler's List."
The optics are enough to burn the eyes out. A known defrauder and con-man posts a fraudulent bond for his fraud trial. It is way past time for The Donald to sit inside a jail-cell while this gets sorted out.
I don't get what the end game is for the wealthy folks who back Trump. I understand he's promising tax cuts as well as (apparently) making their legal problems go away once he's in office, but they all have so much money... more than enough to actually pay those taxes and penalties. What is their deal? Is it simply naked greed or is there some other, additional agenda? Or do they all have some kind of personality disorder that means they need to feel ever more special than the rest of us by getting away with financial and other rule breaking? How much is enough for these greedy bastards? I don't get it.
What I wonder about is what's going to happen if Trump's bond is rejected. Does he get another delay to find a new bond or does he forfeit his right to an appeal and James is allowed to immediately go after his assets?
Hankey offered to pay the full $465M bond. Which the Trump's lawyers 'forgot' to mention to the appeals court.
"In an interview with ProPublica, billionaire California financier Don Hankey said he reached out to Trump’s camp several days before the bond was lowered, expressing willingness to offer the full amount and to use real estate as collateral."
Thank you for the details on this steaming pile of poo . . . It's hard to believe that Cheetolini actually got involved with a guy that has videos of a dancing turd (South Park's Mr. Hankey). . .
My the way, there is an extra "already" in the sentence before the header on Axos.
Rachel Maddow did an enthusiastic discussion of this mess last night on her show. Hopefully the regulators are paying attention to both of you (and the many others that are also raising alarms). Hankey also said publicly (don't remember the outlet) that he "had no idea where Trump got the money". That seems like a very clear violation of the money-laundering and Patriot Act laws. I'd love to see him get charged since his company also does some really slimy debt collection.
Once again, Cheetolini works with "all the best people" . . . So much swampiness . . . .
Don Hankey, Jr has brought himself to the attention of every regulator in the country. I don't see this ending well for him.

So who are the depositors to Axos Bank? Russian oligarchs? Saudis? Others seeking to influence Trump's America?
Hinkey Hankey did some Pankey
Then the courts revoked his stankey
Trump just can't imagine anyone reading the documents

Letitia James' bond requirements have left Trump shaken, (not stirred.)
Rachel Maddow did a bang up job on this last evening. It all makes my head swim! Trisha James has my full respect for tackling this issue.
As ever, Jay, your headline leaves me in awe of your wit. Two thumbs up.

Once a crook, always a crook.
Just WOW! Thanks so much for this explanation, Jay!
Oh what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive .
