75. Yes Chump lost ... now he's shopping for a different judge

Mon Mar 25, 2024, 04:23 PM

That's what an appeal is, getting a different judge that's (hopefully) more sympathetic to your case. There's no guarantee that the original ruling will be changed though. There's no guarantee that the fine will be reduced.

The benefit to Chump is that when he has to pay the fine it will be later, not TODAY. He's hoping it will be LESS that what he owes today.

Your headline is misleading. The fine/disgorgement is not reduced Bernardo de La Paz Mar 25 #22
