    To be fair, and I have no idea why I’m being fair to that jackass, I think I would struggle to put together cash that’s 10% of my net worth, given that most of my net worth is in my home and retirement accounts. I know the math gets a lot different as your net worth goes up, and the biggest difference is he could liquidate assets that he doesn’t need to survive. But still I’m sure it’d wind up costing him more than the $500M or so on paper for the bond.

    Hell, given that his “job” is just to be rage tweeting and encouraging racism, if he genuinely thinks he’s gonna weasel his way out of the charges, its probably more cost effective to go to jail for a bit for attention than to sell something on short notice.

    Love watching him squirm though.

      The problem is he can’t liquidate his assets that easily as most of his assets are in property. And when you sell property they have to go through an independent valuation and that may present a problem since he knows he lied about their value.

      The actual value of his real estate is probably a lot less than the much quoted amount. I bet he doesn’t have a clue how much his properties are actually worth.
