More than likely they believe that they will survive Trump's appeal. The language has been modified to their satisfaction. It's unlikely that the opposition to the bond would have done anything other than offer more delays.

It is exceptionally likely that the verdict and judgment stand. See my post at #133. Tl;dr, standards of review are very much in an appellee's favor when it comes to sustaining a jury verdict and award.

That said, the courts aren't interested in the political shenanigans that may or may not be going on with Chubb's involvement as surety for Trump's stay of execution. It is simply a matter of whether or not the surety is reliable. If Trump doesn't pay, Chubb certainly will. And I don't think they would be keen to write off the loss (which makes me wonder what exactly was put up as collateral, but, again, more politicking there).

As to Alucard's posts at #228 and 229,

1. I don't see the NY appellate court granting a stay without the undertaking. I would imagine the NY judicial system is familiar enough with real estate people to not buy into stupid bullshit.

2. Yeah, Cannon is blatant at this point. I tend to give judges a higher-than-normal amount of respect and deference, but she's beyond that at this juncture. No rational person would look at these circumstances and think she's being impartial.

Edit: Hopefully Merchan bitch slaps that stupid shit down.
