Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Does anyone actually believe he's going to pay any of this? I highly doubt it.
If he doesn't, the state has the authority to sell off his assets to recoup the money.
He might not have much cash, but New York real estate isn't cheap.
has that bag of shit Alex Jones paid a fucking dime yet?
Not yet but his creditors voted to liquidate his assets yesterday (?). The gears are slowly grinding.
It's still being drug out. He's lost the case, but tried to hide his assets so that he could declare bankruptcy without actually being bankrupt. The current legal fight is basically to show that he's being a greedy cunt and to force him to sell the assets he has tried to hide.
They have him dead to rights though. He can drag it out, maybe even for several more years, but they will get their pound of flesh.
why would you compare that grifter with this basically identical grifter
Jones isn't really analogous.
Trump won't declare bankruptcy.
True.
Him being super rich is a major part of his self-image.
He has done it several times before.
That's fine. He has a lot of properties tha they can -and will- take. He can still appeal, but that might make it even worse, and in the mean time interest is running.
I believe to appeal he first has to put 110% of the amount owing in escrow
110% plus interest
If there's one thing I've learned about Trump over the past decade, it is that he always finds a way to weasel out and somehow manage to get millions of conservative votes in the process.
They've already said they'll seize his ny assets if he refuses to pay.
