Well, he said he's going to appeal, so he will have to post what is called a supersedeas bond to secure the appeal. rsdsharp Jan 2024 #2

What would a "supersedeas bond" for $83.3M cost? n/t Silent3 Jan 2024 #3

If it is like Bail 10% dsc Jan 2024 #4

It's not. rsdsharp Jan 2024 #6

Apparently it is 20% for appeal bond dsc Jan 2024 #12

At least the amount of the judgment. It could be higher -- rsdsharp Jan 2024 #5

The bond price should be 10% of bond amount but no one will issue bond without security LetMyPeopleVote Jan 2024 #7

Unless a supersedes bond is in place, E.J. Carroll can start foreclosing on TFG's assets after 15 days LetMyPeopleVote Jan 2024 #8

The bond will be paid. It's really his only choice. WarGamer Jan 2024 #11
