I just wonder how that bond got accepted in the first place
It absolutely should not have been. It's not a New York company.
It's all the grift. Everyone is so afraid of the orange turd's followers that they bend/break the rules for him.
there's a word for that... terrorism.
also follows with their sense of extreme conservatism, religious fundamentalism, and anti-globalism/hyper nationalism
As far as in aware, not being a NY company isn't the issue, it's the fact that they have no evidence they can actually pay the full amount in the event that Trump doesn't follow through with his obligations for the bond.
It is part of the issue.

That doesn't say they have to be a NY company, they just lack the correct licensing to issue in NY. Which seems problematic
The surety question is the main issue. The language seems to say that if trump loses, he has to pay and they don’t. Which isn’t a bond.
Also, he still has access to the funds in the bond! So it's not actually guaranteed.
I believe only the paperwork has been received, the bond has not been "accepted". This filing is pushing to not accept it.
It has effectively paused some clocks in this particular case, but that gets beyond me.
Edit: on mobile, fixed a typo. "Gets" had been "geys".
Ahh... That makes sense
Is “geys beyond me” the new “streets ahead”?
And I am certain it will catch on just as much.
It geys beyond me how quickly slang terms are created nowadays.
It hasn’t been accepted yet. It was posted on April 1st, without the required surety. Engoran is scheduled to make his decision on Monday. This is just the AG’s assessment and recommendation.
