Worth noting that the fine of 454m stays, it’s just a lesser bond amount to enable appeal, still liable for the full amount.
To me, that’s irrelevant. Let’s face it, that fine is never gonna be paid in full.
This is just another delaying tactic. He’s probably got a full team of lawyers working 24/7 on tactics to delay each case based on nonsense arguments and he’ll deploy a single tactic (nonsense arguments) at a time which most suits him, then deploy the next tactic just before things get really expensive or critical.
At his age, he’ll die of natural causes before justice is served – which is very depressing.
Are there any lawyers present in STW? I’m curious if such delay tactics are used much by defense lawyers? Are we (those outside of the justice system) just being naive expecting the wheels of justice to turn fairly and efficiently? Or is such devious behavior typical? Are judges really so gullible to fall for this?
Hats off to Trump as I’d probably do the same if I was in his position and had his money…
