    Ianal - but I believe you can’t get a re-trial if you don’t submit the money or a bond. So somebody is going to pay it, even if they have to use rubles or diamonds

          It depends on the jurisdiction. In some there is some judicial discretion. I saw a case where the amount was 111.1%. I am not admitted in New York and am too lazy to look up their rules. Usually the amount is enough to pay the whole judgment plus all costs (which shouldn’t be a very high percentage of such a huge judgment, lol).

          One of my clients deposited the judgment amount plus court ordered costs in cash in an escrow account of the Court pending the appeal. The prevailing party received the judgment plus the interest the deposit earned (like an IOLTA).

            Michael Popok from Meidas Touch said it was 125% in NY. That’s where I got that figure from. I find him to generally be pretty reliable.

      Sure, it’s gonna get paid, by the Republican party and their donors (and maybe an oligarch or Crown Prince too).

      Just not DJT. And why would he? If you can get rubes and dictators to pay, you might as well.
