Trump just announced that he is moving his business HQ from NY to FL

[kpete]

with intent to construct a new building at his golf course property in Jupiter.
@aronberg explains why that likely has Letitia James’ attention.

Former President Donald Trump’s decision to build a new office in Palm Beach County is clearly a response to the civil fraud verdict in New York, but it will only happen if Barbara Jones allows it.

Barbara Jones is the retired federal judge whom Judge Arthur Engoron assigned to oversee the Trump Organization’s finances in November 2022, and will remain in that position for the next three years. In her role as company babysitter, Jones has access to all of the company’s books, and must be notified about any large cash transfers or dissolution of assets.

Although it looks suspicious that Trump is building a new office complex at Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida, costing up to $15 million, it is not yet clear whether this is allowable, or an impermissible transfer of assets. We should know more after Monday’s deadline for Trump to post an approximate $464 million bond in his civil fraud case. If Trump is unable to secure the bond, and AG James begins seizing properties and putting liens on assets, then it is likely the new office building will be disallowed.

1. He cannot move anything without the monitor and judge permission?

Of course who will stop him? And how?

[LiberalFighter]

3. His properties and organization are filed in NY. Deeds etc.

They are frozen and can't be transferred. More than likely the monitor has also notify any bank(s) that certain or all transactions are restricted.

[Irish_Dem]

4. Hopefully people will stop committing crimes for Trump.

And will comply with the AG and court orders.

Trump is acting like moving his headquarters is a done deal.

[LiberalFighter]

9. How many times has he made a claim that did not happen?

How many times has his lips moved and the words didn't make sense?

[maxrandb]

21. His entire life has been blustering about some such shit

and never doing a fucking thing.

Infrastructure week, bigly, beautiful wall, "I'm a billionaire", it's all fucking crap.

This guy is like dog shit stuck in the grooves of your tennis-shoes. Smelly, annoying, hard to get rid of, but ultimately, just fucking insignificant!

[jimfields33]

31. It takes years to make a move especially since he has to build a new headquarters

3 year planning might be just right.

[Irish_Dem]

35. I see, that makes sense.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

37. Makes me wonder where he secured the funds to do that?

Oh yeah right! HE doesn't pay people for the work they do. Just ask Allen Weisselberg.

[Irish_Dem]

38. He figures once he is in the WH again he will have great cash flow.

[Think. Again.]

2. Doe the judgement against him require that...

...only NY state assets can be used to satisfy the judgement?

Or are any of the assets of his company, no matter where they are located, fair game for seizure?

[RussBLib]

5. more than once...

...I have heard on MSNBC that ANY of his properties can be seized, regardless of where they are.

[Irish_Dem]

7. People here have said both.

Only NY assets can be used, others say all assets.

So we shall see.

[eggplant]

24. assets owned by his NY company, regardless of where they are.

[Think. Again.]

26. Yeah, that's what I thought...

...so basically it should be NY state that makes the decisions on paint colors for this new Florida building.

[usedtobedemgurl]

27. It is a two tiered answer.

They can seize the NY buildings with no problem. Buildings in other states or countries are considered foreign property. That does not make it untouchable. They apply to be able to seize property in a different state, and then they take it.

[Think. Again.]

30. Thank you, that makes sense, NY would need the cooperation of the state the property is located in.

Thanks again.

[House of Roberts]

6. Well, he can't do business there anyway for three years.

If he has anything left to do business with, he'd have to do it somewhere besides New York State.

[Irish_Dem]

8. But the monitor is the babysitter for the next three years.

No matter where he goes?

[LiberalFighter]

12. I'm going to figure no different if a regular person committed a crime...

even if they move to a different state the original state still has jurisdiction. And can take any action to recover any assets or to extradite him back.

This mostly happens with divorces with kids regarding child support or paternity cases. And one of the parties lives in a different state. The court can still file the necessary court papers to garnish the necessary wages from their employer for child support payments.

The same is likely in Trump's case. Defendants can't escape prosecution by moving to a different state.

[Irish_Dem]

17. Of course Trump is not a regular person.

And few seem willing to enforce the laws when it comes to him.

So we shall see.

He is already talking about moving his business to Florida and building a new building.

[House of Roberts]

14. As far as Trump Organization assets are concerned.

She's only authorized to oversee those. Other corporate entities are likely not covered by her oversight.

[Pachamama]

10. Can he actually move it when the fraud findings and judgement have happened?

Assets and bank accounts?

[LiberalFighter]

13. I'm guessing the monitor has notified all banks and other entities

what they can or can't do.

Trump probably thinks he is too smart for them.

[NanaCat]

34. It's not the money (or lack of it) that prevents it.

It's that he's lost the right to do business in NY, period, including making the decision to move a business, even if it's only across Fifth Avenue.

[Hekate]

11. You can run, Donald, but you can't hide

[MadameButterfly]

15. He's always been able to escape accountability

Maybe this time he can't

[KatyaR]

16. And how does he have the money to do that?

Bullshitter Deluxe.

[DENVERPOPS]

28. AND

how could he find any contractor who would take on the job, given his sordid past in not paying contractors.....and bankrupting them...

[Blue Owl]

18. The Land of Leprosy

[jimfields33]

32. Yeah a whole 100 people.

I also heard other states have this.

[ArizonaLib]

19. This reminds me of Guiliani in the throes of 9/11

He was advised to move emergency HQ's, including the communications center away from the WTC after the attack during the early 90's due to its attractiveness as a target by Bin Ladin. Guiliani failed to do so. So following the 9/11 attacks he ran around town with a walkie talkie like a kid during school recess and joking that the HQ's were located where ever he was located.

[Xavier Breath]

20. Well, what's left of his business, anyway.

[onethatcares]

22. ahh, the permitting process should put an end to that drem

then there's that thing like finding a contractor and getting easements and the rest of the bullshit to build something.

and we're headed into the hurricane season.

Oh and i forgot, he has to find a contractor that knows he doesn't pay at the end.

[SouthernDem4ever]

23. He probably needs a new building to store the rest of the stolen classified docs

I guess it takes a large office building.

[bluestarone]

25. I don't know what he can and cannot do. BUT

I do know his track record speaks for itself. By that i mean he DOES things THEN goes to court and fights what he did. SDo it wouldn't surprise me in the least that he WILL try and move to florida, and fight later. Again that would DELAY DELAY DELAY!

[getagrip_already]

29. This can go from civil to criminal in a hesrtbeat...

It's a very sharp line between evasion and avoidance when it comes to paying a court ordered judgement.

He would be on the criminal side of that line if he absconds with assets to evade his judgement.

He could find himself in rikers while he delays and delays.

[NanaCat]

33. No, he won't

He doesn't have the power to make that decision anymore. Being stripped of the right to do business in New York means he can't do any kind of business there--like moving the headquarters of any business.

That's what it means when you have your right to do business in a state suspended.

Sucks to be you, Hair Furor.

[malaise]

36. he unraveling will be public
