Trump wasn't supposed to be moving significant amounts of money around without notifying a court-appointed auditor. He just got caught paying himself so he could pay his taxes.

A court-ordered financial auditor has caught Donald Trump quietly moving $40 million from the Trump Organization into a personal bank account—seemingly so the former president could pay his whopping $29 million tax bill.

Trump isn’t supposed to be moving any money around without alerting Barbara S. Jones, a former federal judge in New York tasked with babysitting the Trump Organization for its relentlessly shady business practices. But on Wednesday, she notified a New York state court about some major bank transfers that were never brought to her attention by the Trumps.

    Hey, he actually paid E Jean Carroll her proceeds from the lawsuit (this was part of the transactions listed here).

    So he was actually out a little under $6M from a legal loss, and actually paid.

    Anyway, toss that toothpick on the scales opposite the sequoiah of judicial indifference.
