Will banks call in Trump's loans? [View all]
Now that the Trump org has been indicted, banks can 'call in' loans with the Trump organization.
The banks, many European, often have clauses to protect the loans, if the borrower is indicted. Reports are saying, Deustche Bank, one of the biggest, does not have that clause...but nothing has been made available, to validate that exemption. I suspect we'll see important points, over the Independance Day weekend.
I, myself, think this 'call in' option will result in some very interesting media reports, especially from Euro news agencies.
This quote, from a politico.com article, sums it up well.
"...Murad Hussain, a partner in Arnold & Porters white-collar defense practice. Beyond the adverse publicity, an indictment might trigger a lenders rights to call outstanding loans, or give a government agency grounds to suspend a business license or the ability to participate in public programs. This isnt always guaranteed to happen, but if it does, its an uphill battle to undo the damage.
One of the biggest risks involves the companys debt and the Trump Organizations debts are reportedly immense. A Forbes investigation published in October 2020 calculated that Trump owes his creditors at least $1 billion. A spokesperson for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment."
