YES.
He still owes the full amount.
Curious: if he wins his appeal — who pays the interest charges?

The case isn't finished until all Due Process is exhausted. We'll know in a year or so.
The Swarms will be all gone by then. 😀
What case will put Trump in jail before November? Asking for a liberal friend.

It is a bank, that manages the money of its customers and investors. The customers and investors are the ones who get 'stiffed' in fraud of this type.
The bank did their due diligence and approved the loan.
You’re saying the bank committed fraud as well. Got it. 👍
Well, that's hard to say. The bank officers could well have been complicit in the fraud, but they have plausible deniability. The valuers that the bank engaged were likely to have been complicit with the fraud, and the bank could be unaware that the valuers, or even specific officers of the bank, were crooked.

He doesn't owe anybody anything until the case is over.
Right now it's not over, it's just starting. 🤣

Fair move from the appellate court... lowering the downpayment to 1/3 of the total, in order for the appeals to continue.
He owes over $500m back to the people, $175m is about a third of that, and serves as a downpayment. If the appeal does not play out in his favor, he has to add on another $350m, or so, to make good. If he doesn't, the $175m is taken and then they have that much less they need to take as foreclosures or seized bank assets at that time.
He should get a chance to defend himself and exhaust the appeals process, and mitigating the punishment amount in the meantime is reasonable. He proved through the court appointed monitor that he doesn't have the money to pay it in full and the court has asked for proof that no one will finance him. It would appear both those things are now verified and his downpayment got lowered.
And that is very fair. If he can't put up the money and has proven so to the court, he should pay what he can to stall off foreclosures. We would all expect this treatment, it's only fair.
eta: Important to note that the interest on the WHOLE amount is being calculated, however, something like $112,000 per day. So even though he is putting up a downpayment, the whole punishment is basis for interest. If the appeals should go on for another year, for example, the additional interest accrued is an additional $41 million per year. Two years of appeals -- an extra $80 million, on top of the $454m.
YES.

Wrong.
He owes $175 million, in the next 10 days, if he wants to appeal. If he does not pay it in 10 days he owes the full $454m plus interest.
If he loses the appeal, he loses the $175 million plus everything else up to the full judgment.

He owes nothing to anybody. The Bond money is held in escrow until the case is finished. 😀

Correct, the money he OWES in the next 10 days will be held in escrow.

Phew LoL
That’s some mental gymnastics there buddy!
Well done.
Are you gassed now? You should be.
If there’s any crime here, it’s the bank loaning the money when they shouldn’t, thereby depriving their customers of loan proceeds.
That’s what you’re claiming now?

Thank you for a straight (no drama) factual answer.
Like John Gacey thanking Jeffrey Dahmer for his moral guidance.
