Basically, because the amount of the loans Trump had was so high.

One loan, the one for the Doral golf course was 125 million. 1% is 1.25 million In the ruling the witness for state said he saved 8% per year. That's 10 million.

This is the language from the ruling.

In 2020 the Doral loan was $125,000,000. Applying the non-recourse rate of 10% (or .01) results in an interest payment of $12,500,000. Applying the recourse rate of 1.9348% (or .019348) results in an interest payment of $2,418,500. Subtracting the latter from the former yields a saving of $10,081,500, as seen on PX330

McCarty calculated the differences between interest rates and determined the following ill-gotten interest savings, which this Court hereby adopts as the most reasonable approximation of the ill- gotten interest rate savings upon which evidence was presented at trial:

$72,908,308 from 2014-2022 on the Doral loan;

$53,423,209 from 2015-2022 on the Old Post Office loan;

$17,443,359 from 2014-2022 on the Chicago loan; and

$24,265,291 from 2015-2022 on the 40 Wall Street loan.

Their sentences were not overturned.

The imprisoned rioters who had their sentences enhanced may push for new, lighter sentences if the appeals court ruling stands.

They are portraying it as a meeting about campaign donations.

But I had a post up earlier that Trump has indicated in court filings that he trying to pause his court judgementa by offering 1/4 the amount and his lawyers told the judge he needs to raise capital

The FBI has not said he's targeting Trump.

There's another post up on this guy.

He has targeted Pompeo and Bolton.

I don't think Iran would go after Trump just cuz that would be flat out war. Soleimani was not the head of Iran when we killed him, so I think they would go for someone like Pompeo.

This also happened recently

what's the economics of this?

The advantage is don't put your own money up, but it's expensive.

If he had to use real estate as collateral and pay 4% interest, that's $25 million a year plus title insurance and you can't do anything else with that property.

like let's say someone is worth 10 billion and they have 5 billion straight up in cash. Does it still make sense not to use your own money.

Trump just filed 2 new motions in this case.

In one Trump asks the judge to overrule the jury and make him the winner of the case

Defendant President Donald J. Trump respectfully requests that this Court grant him judgment as a matter of law in this case under Rule 50(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

and the other is for a new trial or that the judgement be altered
