The RNC is already gearing up to pay for him. Rob the uneducated masses (remember, we're talking republicans here!) and pay the wealthy orange dude for his past actions before he was president, let's go!
The party only has $8 million cash on hand as of their Feb SEC filling. They can't pay for his corporate fraud. They can't even pay for his sexual assault. They will probably pay for some of his lawyers in the cases about stealing national secrets and trying to steal the election.
Having a court appointed auditor also makes it difficult for him to use laundered money (or otherwise illegal sources). He has already claimed the auditor has cost him "millions", which isn't a thing if you're operating "beautifully" and above board all legal like.
That fucker will cheerfully accept Russian, Saudi or Chinese money to carry a couple bags of diplomatic "cash" in and a diplomatic bag of US national secrets out - remember that Trump moved boxes before and after the FBI raid, had the boxes conveniently stored next to a copier, and the FBI didn't search two rooms they were supposed to.
Which wouldn't work because they want us to keep digging ourselves into a deeper hole and line their pockets with interest without ever actually bringing the balances down. Can't really do that in prison where you're not generating any income for yourself.
I didn't know that part, I figured with privatization it was the prisons making money just from having more people locked up, and any work they got was essentially slave labor for the benefit of the prison and its partners for pennies on the dollar.
Relatively speaking, very few prisons in the US are private/for profit, but the majority of US prisons make use of prison slave labor and bill prisoners for their sentence.
The ruble is in the toilet. All of the oligarchs' foreign assets are frozen. The "two-week special military operation" in Ukraine has dragged on since 2022.
Putin has been using the Russian reserves as his personal piggy bank for decades. That worked fine when Russia was able to make money hand over fist selling oil to and gas to Europe, but now he has to use the Russian financial reserves to pay for the war
Putin probably has billions of dollars squirreled away in banks all over the world. He’s been extorting oligarchs for huge kickbacks for decades now. If they don’t pay up they find themselves shipped to Siberia or thrown out a window.
The clock is ticking for Donald Trump to pony up roughly half a billion dollars to satisfy two recent courtroom losses.
The cash crunch challenges Trump’s long-projected image of a successful businessman with deep pockets and a maverick’s ability to outmaneuver legal and financial troubles.
Now, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee for 2024 could end up heavily indebted to a bank, donor, or some other source of capital.
Trump has until Monday to post $83.3 million to meet the judgment for defaming writer E. Jean Carroll and denying her rape allegations against him.
Without any changes, Trump said he would need to produce $91.63 million, which includes the district court’s common practice of requiring a bond of 110% of the judgment.
March 25, meanwhile, is also the first day of jury selection in Trump’s first criminal trial, related to the cover up of hush money payments to Stormy Daniels.
