But they are taking sides, and they are supporting that rapist Trump. canuckledragger Mar 13 #1
No. The purpose of an appeal bond is to protect the person Ocelot II Mar 13 #2
THANK you Ocelot.... democratsruletheday Mar 13 #15
Thanks again Ocelot.. democratsruletheday Mar 13 #16
But is Trump paying market rate for this surety exboyfil Mar 13 #27
Is Trump paying at all? dpibel Mar 13 #63
"Trump's benefit" dpibel Mar 13 #64
Yes, he keeps his assets for now, but since they are collateralized he can't do anything with them; Ocelot II Mar 13 #68
You. Do. Not. Know. dpibel Mar 14 #72
Is there some evidence of this? Ocelot II Mar 14 #74
The same quantum of evidence you have dpibel Mar 14 #80
Whatever. Ocelot II Mar 14 #81
Let's see how they feel when Trump stiffs them Ray Bruns Mar 13 #3
$90M is pocket change for Chubb. Ocelot II Mar 13 #5
That's seems at odds angrychair Mar 13 #8
Published by whom? Ocelot II Mar 13 #11
Greenberg angrychair Mar 13 #21
He's still on it. Why hasn't Biden removed him? Ocelot II Mar 13 #35
Link to this "published" account? Or is it a "some people say" account? onenote Mar 13 #25
Google is free angrychair Mar 13 #32
No, you referred to a published account of an 11th hour meeting between Trump and Greenberg leading to the bond onenote Mar 13 #60
Greenberg Traurig, a law/lobbying firm, was just signed to represent Orban's government., Ocelot II Mar 14 #82
Do you have a link to a credible source that Greenberg is a Republican mega donor? Silent Type Mar 13 #28
OpenSecrets angrychair Mar 13 #33
And he's given thousands to Democrats, although admittedly not as much as GOPers. Silent Type Mar 13 #41
I don't know about Evan EndlessWire Mar 14 #70
Do you think CHUBB will cover bluestarone Mar 13 #19
He can't. They have collateral worth way more than the bond amt. mobeau69 Mar 13 #7
And Trump's own, highly reliable word... HariSeldon Mar 13 #38
Do they really, though? Diraven Mar 13 #56
Even if the collateral was way overvalued by their underwriters EJC still gets her money. mobeau69 Mar 13 #57
You skipped a step dpibel Mar 13 #59
You have a point but why would Chubb get involved? mobeau69 Mar 13 #61
For bucks dpibel Mar 13 #62
fuck chubb ZonkerHarris Mar 13 #4
Why don't you want Carroll's verdict to be protected Ocelot II Mar 13 #6
I want her to take the Tower ZonkerHarris Mar 13 #18
Trump doesn't own the tower. Ocelot II Mar 13 #20
Chubb writes bonds. Strickly business. twodogsbarking Mar 13 #9
They must be catching a good deal of heat for this. Novara Mar 13 #10
He can't stiff Chubb. They have attorneys way better than Hubba Bubba that wrote the secured contract. mobeau69 Mar 13 #12
While true, as long as he's being sued, he avoids actually paying. He could drag this shit on until he dies. Novara Mar 13 #13
He's only appealing the judgement. mobeau69 Mar 13 #24
If he doesn't pay Carroll, Chubb pays - and then they'll come after the collateral he put up for the bond. Ocelot II Mar 13 #36
Yeah and as long as it is all tied up in court, he's not paying. Novara Mar 13 #43
That's Chubb's problem, and they considered that risk when they issued the bond Ocelot II Mar 13 #44
And E. Jean Carroll will get her payout from Chubb, no matter what. ShazzieB Mar 13 #52
Absolutely. Ocelot II Mar 13 #54
He can't. At the end of the appeal process, if he loses (and he will), the bond guarantees Carroll gets paid. Ocelot II Mar 13 #40
I would just like to know EndlessWire Mar 14 #71
I have a simple solution for the CEO maxrandb Mar 13 #14
Just one more thing Mr. CEO maxrandb Mar 13 #17
Mr Chubb CEO Danascot Mar 13 #22
If I were Chubb shareholder, I'd be angry that the CEO just threw $90M out the window Wild blueberry Mar 13 #23
So you don't think they have collateral covering the amount of the bond? onenote Mar 13 #26
Chubb will not lose. I would bet on it. They know their shit and how to wipe it. twodogsbarking Mar 13 #29
I agree. ShazzieB Mar 13 #55
Hell, it's tempting to buy stock in Chubb, especially if they also issue the bond for the much larger verdict Ocelot II Mar 13 #42
They wouldn't have written the bond if their underwriters weren't confident Ocelot II Mar 13 #37

For the F_%k Greenberg crowd, the horrible Evan Greenberg said this after 1/6/2021. Silent Type Mar 13 #31

I'm running out of hands with which to perform another facepalm. Ocelot II Mar 13 #39
"I'm running out of hands with which to perform another facepalm." BumRushDaShow Mar 13 #47
That's about right... Ocelot II Mar 13 #48
... BumRushDaShow Mar 13 #50
Why do it? To make around a million bucks. onenote Mar 13 #45
I still hope they lose it all SouthernDem4ever Mar 13 #46
For the umpteenth time, the purpose of the bond is to protect Carroll's verdict, Ocelot II Mar 13 #49
Assumes facts not in evidence dpibel Mar 13 #58
You also make an assumption onenote Mar 13 #65
I said no such thing dpibel Mar 13 #66
Yes you did. onenote Mar 13 #67
I am SO BUSTED!!1! dpibel Mar 14 #73
And what is the evidence that assets other than Trump's are the collateral? Ocelot II Mar 14 #77
You are the one making flat assertions dpibel Mar 14 #78
Whatever. Ocelot II Mar 14 #79
It's not a bad thing - for Trump SouthernDem4ever Mar 14 #75
The main backer for the Brexit campaign in the UK OnDoutside Mar 13 #51
It's not odd at all. Insurance is very, very big business all over the world. Ocelot II Mar 13 #53
I am waiting for her to start another defamation case against Trump.... William Gustafson Mar 13 #69
He didn't say how the guarantee from TFG was made. More Putin money laundering? marble falls Mar 14 #76
Chubb has a chubbie for Chump Kennah Mar 14 #83
I was told there would be popcorn served with this thread. Where's the line? NT mahatmakanejeeves Mar 14 #84
