Non/Ubsubordinated/Senior debt goes first.  Whatever the fuck they call it there.  Then probably pref mezz/equity.  When they're done, the government and  vultures come.  Somewhere in there though, there---as is custom in every corner  of our nation---A Sheriff comes to serve notice and documents.  It's mostly a performative gesture at that point.  

But what my hypothetical presupposes is...what if it wasn't?  What if somebody has been winding up MAGA radicals online to think that when they come to serve Trump properties, these law enforcement agents are viewed as deep state agents of Biden and some armed MAGA diehards got into fire-fights with them in order to help their Orange God?  What if, as is county law, the date of serving and seizure has to be publicly announced ahead of time so that the MAGA gun guys knew where and when to be?  What if you finally figured out to get these people to murder one another?  What if you spent a year contemplating it and now a common courtesy asset notice was the trigger you've been looking for all along?  What if there was an army of angry people online that just needed some direction, some guidance, some inspiration, and a target?  Oops.

They can domesticate the judgment in other states where he has assets if that is an issue. Full faith and credit bro. But, frankly, I have to think there are enough assets in NY alone to make this super painful for him regardless. 

Of course they can. They just take ownership subject to those liens. If they sell, they have to satisfy the liens. 

That reduces the percentage of the asset applied to the judgment, not whether they asset can be seized. 

Thanks. I guess I just figured why would they seize an asset that they got nothing out of and no one would really buy at auction. Wouldn’t the lien holders effectively be able to offer their lien amounts as the opening bid and if no outside group came they would pay themselves the money they are already owed and have the building with the state getting nothing?

If the asset was completely underwater, sure, that could be a problem. But while he is highly leveraged, he isn't that leveraged.

That could absolutely be the case.  If he's functionally bankrupt (liabilities exceed value of assets), then yeah....there ain't no money for anyone to get paid.  It means that he's broke, and the whole world will know that he's broke.  It happens.  There was definitely a day in my life that I owed more than all my shit was worth -- you couldn't have gotten a penny out of me.  Young and poor, it happens.  Old and pretending to be rich, but actually poor?  A bit less common.

That could happen.  That's why the state will get an actual FMV appraisal of any property before they go through the effort of seizing it.  Because if the building is really worth $100 million and has $50 million in liens on it, it's very unlikely that at auction it will sell for just the $50 million the lienholder might bid.  It may go for less than $100 million, but it will almost certainly go for more than $50 million.  And hey, if it goes for $75 million because it's a sale of a foreclosed asset, tough shit for Donny.  The state still gets $25 million.  It's just gonna take the sale of more assets till Donny's debt gets paid off.

Both Don Jr. and Eric Trump are young and both men are currently overseeing Trump Organization day to day. On the contrary, as a 77-year old, Trump’s involvement in the company has reportedly been limited in recent years. 

This ruling has essentially left Don Jr. and Eric Trump unemployed. 

Second, the fact that Donald Trump and the Trump Organization are both banned from applying for loans from any New York-chartered financial institutions for 3 years makes it incredibly hard for Trump to actually afford the judgment. 

Together with the E. Jean Carroll verdict, Trump is now responsible for almost $450 MILLION in penalties - an amount that would wipe out nearly every penny of cash he reportedly has.

Technically speaking, it would seem the creditors have a claim against the marital estate and have had for some time now.  It's just liquidated now.  If they got divorced tomorrow, Melania would be liable for her share of this debt according to NY law, whatever that is.  The liens don't make a shit.

In Texas, creditors like James can intervene in a divorce and insure their claims are satisfied before a property division.  I imagine there's something similar in NY law.

So, to appeal, does he have to put up a large sum of money first? I thought I read that somewhere.

apparently, and for both cases:

Quote

Trump is expected to immediately appeal the decision, but doing so will be a logistical nightmare. New York requires that a person seeking to pause this kind of judgment immediately front a massive sum, anywhere from 110 percent to 120 percent of the judgment. And while Trump boasted in sworn testimony last year that he had some $400 million in cash, that wouldn’t be enough to cover this bank fraud judgment and last month’s $83 million verdict in his rape defamation case. Both cases require him to post the money up front, squeezing him at the same time.

Again, posting a bond is not a prerequisite to appeal, in most jurisdictions, including federal and Texas.  It does, however, prevent the plaintiff from executing on any judgment pending the appeal.

[Rimbo 26,038]

38 minutes ago, Brisketexan said:

For the E. Jean Carroll deal at least, I understood that the supersedeas "bond" is functionally the full cash amount of the judgment, plus some stout percentage like another 10% (NY law -- not my area of practice).  But that's stout.  Want to keep E. Jean from collecting on her judgment while you appeal?  You gotta put $85 million -- maybe closer to $95 million -- in the registry of the court.  You got that kinda cash laying around, Donny boy?

Also, as to Rimbo, here's the issue I have with your confidence: what we're facing in Trump and Trumpism isn't an ordinary back-and-forth political swing thing.  It's an existential crisis.  He has openly stated that he wants to end the Republic, and he has tens of millions of supporters who want him to do just that.  And yes, those of us who have read up on German history are fucking horrified by the parallels.  So, to take us back to that time, let me tell you when this battle is won:

It's won after Hitler blows his own brains out, and his body is burned and hastily disposed of.

It's won when the Japanese actually sign the documents of unconditional surrender on the deck of the Missouri in Tokyo Bay.

And not ONE SECOND before those things happen.  Run all the way through the finish line, then run another 100 yards just to be fucking sure.  No resting.  No prediction of victory.  No cockiness.  Just fucking relentless attacks, making the rubble bounce when we can't find any other primary targets worth a shit because we've already blown everything up.  We were fighting for the future of the world and our country in 1945, we're fighting for the life of the Republic now.  We need to approach it the same way.  Believe that you very well could lose every single moment until you've actually got the surrender papers signed, and don't act differently even a second before.

Yeah, but you actually know a thing or two about what you're talking about. You and I, we have a difference of opinion that's based on weighing facts differently. But at least facts and knowledge are involved, here.

Isn't the government first in lien lines pretty much at all times?  

Among unsecured creditors, in most cases, yes.  But all unsecured debt is subordinate to secured debt.  And if it becomes secured by judgment lien, it's by time.  A judgment lien is kind of a bastard thing compared to a security interest by agreement.

[Rimbo 26,038]

33 minutes ago, Brisketexan said:

They absolutely can, and do.  All the time.

Say that Trump owns a property worth $100 million, with $50 million in liens on it.  The state forecloses on that property - it's a judgment foreclosure.  The state then sells the property for $100 million.  The lien holders are paid FIRST -- so the first $50 million goes to them.  Then the next $50 million goes to the state, towards paying off the $360 million he owes.  Or, if he owed less than $50 million (say, he only owed $40 million), then the first $50 million goes to the lienholders, the next $40 million goes to the state to pay off the judgment, and the excess proceeds of $10 million go to Trump.

Lots of assets are subject to the claims of secured creditors/lienholders.  Those assets aren't immune to seizure, bankruptcy sale, etc.  There's just an order of payment provided by the law to make the lienholders whole.  Having assets that are encumbered by debt isn't a novel thing.  The legal system thought of this scenario long ago, and has a set script that it follows.

The beauty of this, to me, is that might actually see the real market value of the properties.

Trump may not care much about these judgements because he’s close enough to dying that he probably has enough assets to not really impact his spending ability. If you’re Don Jr or Eric, your future money is quickly drying up.

of course Trump has to worry about his freedom with the upcoming trials.

Alright, let us begin.  

There's to be a Freedom Convoy to his first to be seized property.  How do we know?  Well, it'll be publicly announced in papers of record and government websites.  The date and location have to be, by law, be announced in advance.  We rile up MAGA's to ride there ahead of time.  Shouldn't be hard.  Shit, I'll send 'em gas cards.  You tell them to come heavy and form a human barricade in front of whichever property it is that may be seized BY THE ILLEGAL AND POLITICAL WITCH-HUNT JUDGE FROM THE DEEP STATE.  And then feed 'em some meth at Waffle House and watch the bullets fly.  I finally got it.  I've been whining to you folks for a couple years but this is it.  This is how we get them to start murdering one another.  They didn't know that "Civil War" mean them firing upon each other.  Oh my god, this is gonna be better than LSD-flavored viagra.  Keep an eye out for public notices on forfeiture.  Tell the MAGA's in your life to go heavy or go home.  

And for the record, I gave Brisket a $1 one time so this is me telling you all that I had nothing to do with this.  There will be casualties.  But it's a sacrifice I'm willing to let other people make.
