"Former President Trump's $175M Civil Fraud Bond Approved By New York Judge" - Axios
The $175 million bond former President Trump posted to appeal the $364 million judgment against him in his civil fraud case meets legal standards, New York Judge Arthur Engoron ruled Monday.
纽约法官亚瑟·恩戈隆周一裁定，前总统特朗普为对他的民事欺诈案中的3.64亿美元判决提出上诉而发行的1.75亿美元债券符合法律标准。
Why it matters: Approving the bond for the appeal will prevent New York Attorney General Letitia James from seizing Trump's assets or freezing his bank accounts while he fights the judgment.
为何重要：批准上诉保证金将阻止纽约司法部长莱蒂蒂亚·詹姆斯在对抗判决时没收特朗普的资产或冻结他的银行账户。
State of play: James requested earlier this month that Knight Specialty Insurance Company, which issued the bond, or Trump's lawyers, prove the company is financially able to perform under the bond.
现状：詹姆斯本月早些时候要求发行债券的奈特专业保险公司或特朗普的律师证明该公司的财务能力。
- The company isn't registered with the Empire State's Department of Financial Services.
- In a court filing Friday, James wrote that the defendants and the company had "failed to justify" the surety of the bond.
- James asked Engoron to void the bond and require Trump to post a replacement bond within seven days of the ruling.
- 该公司未在帝国大厦金融服务部注册。
- 詹姆斯在周五的法庭文件中写道，被告和公司 “未能证明” 保证金的担保。
- 詹姆斯要求恩戈隆宣布保释金无效，并要求特朗普在裁决后的七天内发行替代保证金。
The big picture: While Engoron allowed the bond to stand, Trump and Knight Specialty Insurance Company agreed to meet several new requirements, per a spokesperson from the New York State Attorney General's office.
总体情况：纽约州检察长办公室发言人表示，尽管恩戈隆允许该债券有效，但特朗普和奈特专业保险公司同意满足几项新要求。
- These include that Knight Specialty Insurance Company will retain "exclusive control" of the $175 million account, and the company and Trump will provide a monthly account statement certifying that there are sufficient cash funds for the bond.
- Knight Specialty Insurance Company has agreed to designate an agent of process in New York.
- 其中包括奈特专业保险公司将保留对1.75亿美元账户的 “独家控制权”，该公司和特朗普将提供月度账单，证明有足够的现金资金支付该债券。
- 奈特专业保险公司已同意在纽约指定一名诉讼代理人。
- The agreement between the company and Trump also can't be amended without court approval.
- 未经法院批准，该公司与特朗普之间的协议也无法修改。
Zoom out: Trump was initially ordered to post a $454 million bond in the case after being found liable for financial fraud, though Trump swiftly appealed the judgement.
缩小：尽管特朗普迅速对判决提出上诉，但特朗普在被判负有金融欺诈责任后，最初被命令在该案中发行4.54亿美元的债券。
- The bond was later reduced to $175 million, which Trump posted at the start of the month.
- Billionaire Don Hankey, the chairman of Knight Specialty Insurance Company, underwrote the bond. Hankey had donated to Trump's previous campaigns.
- 该债券后来减少至1.75亿美元，特朗普在本月初公布了该债券。
- 奈特专业保险公司董事长亿万富翁唐·汉基承保了这笔债券。汉基曾为特朗普之前的竞选活动捐款。
