As a result of last year’s judgement against them for business fraud, Donald Trump and the Trump Organization owe a massive sum of money to the state of New York. An attempted appeal is in the works, but they‘re required to post a $454 million bond, and that’s proving to be tough. Unsurprisingly, no one wants to put up half a billion dollars on behalf of a man infamous for failing to pay his bills.
Yesterday, Trump’s lawyers submitted a filing to a New York appeals court which included a list of some organizations which had declined to back a bond on behalf of Trump:
Applied Underwriters (SiriusPoint), Allianz, Amynta, Arch, Argo, Ascot, AXA XL, Berkley, Berkshire Hathaway, CAP Specialty, Chubb, Cincinnati, CNA Surety, DUAL/Axis, Everest Re, Frankenmuth, Hartford, Hudson, IAT (Harco), Intact, Liberty, Munich Re, Philadelphia Indemnity, MainStreet (NGM), Markel, Nationwide, RLI, Skyward (Great Midwest), Sompo, Swiss Re, Tokyo Marine HCC, Travelers, and Zurich.
I would like to go on the record to state that One Foot Tsunami is also entirely unwilling to back Trump in this matter, or any other.
