Less than a month after New York Attorney General Letitia James said she would be willing to seize former Republican President Donald Trumpā€™s assets if he is unable to pay the $464 million required by last monthā€™sĀ judgmentĀ in his civil fraud case, Trumpā€™s lawyers disclosed in court filings Monday that he had failed to secure a bond for the amount.

In the nearly 5,000-page filing, lawyers for TrumpĀ saidĀ it has proven a ā€œpractical impossibilityā€ for Trump to secure a bond from any financial institutions in the state, as ā€œabout 30 surety companiesā€ have refused to accept assets including real estate as collateral and have demanded cash and other liquid assets instead.

To get the institutions to agree to cover that $464 million judgment if Trump loses his appeal and fails to pay the state, he would have to pledge more than $550 million as collateralā€”ā€œa sum he simply does not have,ā€Ā reportedThe New York Times, despite his frequent boasting of his wealth and business prowess.

      Iā€™ve used AI. Iā€™ve had it make stuff up or put incorrect info into documents. Iā€™m smart* and read through the document just like these lawyers will**. Saved me TONS of time vs just doing all the specific writing, scanning and summarizing. *citation required **smartness not withstanding

      There are specialized LLMs that (if the document is digitized) will actually cite their references within the data theyā€™ve been given and provide direct links. Itā€™d still need proof reading as someone would have to check those citations but it would still speed up the process immensley.
