Did some further reading on this.
Trump is appealing the James ruling. While the appeal is under review, he was still required to pay the penalty amount as a bond to stave off the possibility of the state seizing his assets.
While the bond amount has been reduced to $US175 million. The full penalty still stands if his appeal against the ruling fails!
For a few seconds this could have been a shit post. But when you see it, its shitpost.
