CBS reported on the issue:
Is Trump's $175M #civil #fraud #bond valid in #NewYork?
When #Trump posted a bond in NY on Mon, it appeared that he had evaded a #financial crisis. He had paused enforcement of the >$460M judgment against him, while his appeal is pending.
But the surety bond was missing vital information typically included in those filings, experts say.

Standard elements incl docs related to POA for the #bond provider, #KnightSpecialtyInsurance Co, a #financial stmnt & a cert of solvency from the DFS.
Bruce Lederman, an atty who has filed many bonds in #NY, including for a real estate developer challenging a judgment, said he was struck by the "glaring errors.”
"you always have to have a cert from the DFS saying that you're licensed to issue a surety bond," he said, referring to the missing cert of solvency per §1111 of #NY #Insurance #Law.
