Why Won’t Rich Republicans Loan Money to Upstanding Businessman Donald Trump?
My theory is that Trump is, in fact, a crook.
You're viewing a single thread.
The real question is why does someone who claims to be worth around $6B need a loan at all? It just doesn't make sense. /s
Serious answer: Because most wealth isn't liquid and liquation can take a while.
EDIT: In general, obviously not the case now
This is an attempt to secure a bond. To secure that bond he needs to put up collateral. His lawyers said banks are asking for collateral around $550 million or something, higher than the value of the bond. I can’t recall off the top of my head the actual value.
His lawyers said he is unable to provide that collateral.
Which means that his assets can’t cover the bond. Unless I’m misunderstanding something.
I thought he needed cash to get bail, thanks for the info.
Very false, anyone with actual money and assets has proper valuations gathered and strong relationships with banks and partners, if at any point they need access to that money they would have a line up of people ready to fiance them short term.
I don't have anywhere near a billion but if I need access to liquid assets I have a ton of ways to do that.
If any of his financial claims were true and could be verified with documents he would have had his money within an hour.
coupled with the nature of his crimes making him radioactive to potential future creditors.... and uncertainty of his entire business in the state of ny.... and when they do attempt to secure the collateral on his properties, they'll begin to lose value quickly because everyone will know he's selling no matter what.
The threat of prison tends to expedite financial transactions.
Yes, but quickly liquidating assets means less returns. So a loan (even with interest) might make more sense in general although I doubt that's the case here.
So Donnie dipshit has to make a choice;
Go to prison or take a loss on an investment.
If you think this choice is the reason he can't pay his dues I have a bridge to sell you.
You don't understand things that the news says and just repeat them like a parrot.
