1. Woohoo!

Good!

[PJMcK]

2. Trump will be broke

For real with no recourse!

It’ll be a sight to behold.

[former9thward]

23. No he won't.

Any fine will be against the Trump corporation. Not individuals.

[PJMcK]

25. Do you think Trump has any money himself?

I don't.

He's built his whole life on debt much of which has his personal guarantee.

Regardless, we'll see what happens. It'll take time, of course.

[former9thward]

26. People who track these types of things think he is a billionaire.

So I believe them. No one has ever proved he was not.

[PJMcK]

32. The people who track wealth

Publications, like Forbes Magazine, make their estimates based on publicly available information.

For example, Warren Buffet’s wealth can be reasonably guessed because his companies and investments are mostly publicly traded entities that are required to make information public. Faith in the trading markets require that transparency.

Trump, however, has privately-held companies. The public has zero insight into his assets and debts. Further, Trump doesn’t invest his money in the public markets. His business failures are infamous and legion. His biggest “success” was the TV show, The Apprentice, but he doesn’t own that; he was a hired actor!

So where does his money come from?I think Trump’s wealth derives from leveraging the perceived value of his real estate holdings and his so-called brand. When the curtains are pulled back, I won’t be surprised to learn that Trump has very little actual net worth. We’ll see.

3. I wonder how much annual income he received from his business dealings in New York?

Will his loser supporters be able to make up the difference?

4. C'mon malaise you are holding back,

Tish wants 370 million, but communist China can make up the extra 20 million.

8. The Russian trolls in the comments section are as bad as the ones in the WaPo

But, hey, 1A and all that.

[samsingh]

9. i was hoping for a billion - hopefully the 320 million will be enough

[Fiendish Thingy]

11. She's calling for a "disgorgement", which is different from a fine

I believe she is seeking both a punitive personal fine, as well as a disgorgement (liquidation and seizing of assets) from his corporations.

I know the personal fine could be appealed, but I’m not sure if a disgorgement order is immune from appeal or not, and could proceed unimpeded by Trump’s delays.

[Escurumbele]

12. He should have asked for $500 million because the judge is bound to lower it, they always do.

Ask for $500 million and the judge will lower it to $350 million, there is the risk now that the judge will lower it to $250 million.

[Warpy]

13. Yep, wipe him out in NY

including that "wildlife refuge" palace upstate. He can keep doing "business" elsewhere.

[MontanaMama]

14. Slobby will be desperate to take bribes now.

A guy has to make a living after all!!

Seriously though, he will be even more of a menace to our country if the NY AG is successful in this effort.

[OMGWTF]

21. I know where he can get free food, clothes, and a bed for the rest of his miserable life.

[MontanaMama]

29. BAM!

I see what you did there.

[ShazzieB]

15. Oh, this is going to drive him wild!

Look out for low-flying ketchup bottles!

[turbinetree]

16. Well, I think that I am going to pay $.05 cents on the dollar for a used B757-200

any one want to join me it will have to be fumigated first and have the ketchup stains removed from the sidewalls, and get rid of the hamburglar and french fries smell and tyhe soda stains off the floor boards ............and have all of the fake plated gold fixtures removed.........and the extra wide seats .........so that it can be turned into a freighter.......B757-200F.............or we can part out the engines, landing gears, flaps, slats and spoilers and all of the LRU's (line replacements units) ...........to recoup our money.............

27. That plane is his getaway vehicle..

When he loses the election and with convictions dropping in quick order, he'll be on his plane flying off to some country without an extradition treaty with the U.S., where he's stashed millions in Russian, Chinese and Saudi money, and where he can spew his smelly propaganda unrestrained.

[turbinetree]

31. Well if he decided to go and have that all time favorite Russian food....Russian cabbage soup

he first has to figure out if he really wants some cabbage soup........for some reason I think he is a fries dude and hamburger, and his little old plane can only fly 3,900 nautical miles maximum and to fly New York to Moscow is 5289 miles, and since Florida is further he might as well prepare for landing in water ditching mode over the Atlantic......or he can take that Florida route to the Azores which is only 3253 miles, 700 miles to spare ...........but then he needs to file a flight plan and he can be denied landing rights in the Azores and they can deny him fuel............he just screwed.......since he may have to pay over 350 million.........and rubles are not worth much now days.......and no one wants fake gold plated valves from the lavatory and from a plane that will have to be forfeited......since it was acquired illegally ....just my theory.......

TAKE IT ALL

34. Exacty. A bargain to have a President in your pocket. Cost of doing business. After all the sturm and drang,

this will be a hiccup.

[multigraincracker]

22. That figure sounds kind of low.

As rich as he claims to be.

[former9thward]

24. In our legal system fines are not assessed on your wealth.

28. Can Ivana's grave be used as security??

(Asking for a friend, who thinks there's a few dozen million squirreled away in her casket........covering up the nuclear codes.....)

[Lettuce Be]

30. That doesn't seem high enough. Money damages do nothing to these "billionaires."

With all the talk of billions these days, suddenly, a few hundred measly million doesn't sound like much. Go figure.

[Botany]

33. I think that is up from the $250 million that Tish James was talking about before

As for the MAGA folk who will complain that this is political fuck ‘‘em no it is the law. I hope
this breaks his companies.

[RocRizzo55]

35. Not enough! Nt
