Former President Donald Trump has been trying to avoid having to post a bond for the entire sum in order to hold off collection while he appeals, but courts so far have said no.

A New York appeals court on Monday agreed to hold off collection of former President Donald Trump’s $454 million civil fraud judgment — if he puts up $175 million within 10 days.

If he does, it will stop the clock on collection and prevent the state from seizing his assets while he appeals.

Delay. Delay. Delay.
