If a property is seized the government only gets the equity that the owner had in it so if Trump owns a 2B in property but owes 1.5B then the government may seize all 2B in order to satisfy the debt he owes the government. Worse the government will try to get as much value as possible but the value realized by a short term sale may be less than could have been realized had the customer had time to find the appropriate buyer. So if they only get 300M they can seize additional properties to satisfy the debt.
Nobody in their right mind wants the government doing this for them instead of mortgaging and or selling their own stuff. He committed such obvious fraud he should have known the jig was up when it went to trial and started seeking buyers or mortgaging. They could have self funded an appeal bond hoping to reduce the damages and prepared for worst case losing it all.
I assume what’s worse with the 300M scenario is that he still owes the other parties the 1.5B. Since the collateral is now gone, those parties will immediately demand full payment. So he’ll be forced to sell other properties to pay those debts, and it’s a cascade of a whole other set dominos of fire sales.
It should go something like forced sale, closing debts as those parties have nothing to do with it, balance to the state… Rinse and repeat until it adds up to enough.

The dominos will fall like a house of cards, checkmate

I sure hope all this stress combined with a diet of big macs and snorting Adderall doesn’t give him a fatal heart attack (•_•)
