Bonds aren’t insurance policies. They’re guarantees that the full amount will be paid to those owed the money. In the end, Trump will still have to pay if he loses the appeal. If Chubb has to pay instead, they can start seizing and selling Trump assets to cover the full value of the bond.
Sadly Chubbs bond was backed by a Schwab account of assets as collateral. So stocks and bonds, not real estate. Chubb shot down accepting any Trump real estate as collateral.
I believe the appeal needs to be denied by the second circuit, and then he will have to pony up the cash.
…or E Jean Caroll will be paid by the Chubb Group who issued the bond.

Yep, we agree. Chubb only pays if Trump doesn’t.
Trump’s gonna pay. It’s just a question of whether he’ll pay directly or try to stall again and end up having one of his building seized by Chubb.
I know which one I’m rooting for.

He already had to post a bond for this appeal— so he ponied up the cash. Carroll just doesn’t get it until all appeals are exhausted.
No he didn’t, Chubb provided a bond.
Now he has to pony up the cash and if he doesn’t Chubb will have to pay.
