^^^Anyone?
I have heard that sort of thing called a "sham transaction". It only works if completed in some legally defined time period before the date of the seizure or bankruptcy etc. Originally Posted by ICU 812

Are they completely forfeit and property of the State, county or city?
re they held in leu of the bond I hear talked about. In this case, can he redeem them at some point?
I have not read anything on that.

Donald Trump could soon face any of those scenarios if he can’t come up with a roughly half-billion dollar bond by next week to stop the enforcement of a civil judgment after a judge found that he and his company committed widespread corporate fraud.
If Trump can’t find an underwriter to guarantee the amount on his behalf — and if he fails to persuade a court to give him an 11th-hour respite while he appeals the verdict — New York Attorney General Tish James can begin seizing his assets.
Monday marks the end of a 30-day grace period that James granted Trump, and she has said she is prepared to act.
“If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets,” she told ABC News last month. And James has already taken preliminary steps: She has filed the Manhattan judgment in neighboring Westchester County, a precursor to any enforcement actions there.
But even if Trump fails to obtain a bond by the deadline, don’t expect to see James or her deputies immediately marching over to Trump Tower to change the locks.
For one thing, seizing Trump’s assets will require James to go back to court to get a judge’s approval to gain access to Trump’s property.
And for another, James likely wouldn’t start by targeting his real estate holdings, said legal experts. She is more likely to begin by seizing his bank accounts, which would give her direct access to cash, rather than an asset she would need to liquidate.
In order to seize a defendant’s bank accounts, a judgment creditor typically first goes through a discovery process to identify where they are. Then the creditor asks the banks to freeze the accounts — and asks a judge to have the money in the accounts turned over.
In this case, the judge making that call would be Justice Arthur Engoron, who imposed the $454 million penalty last month and whom Trump has repeatedly assailed in the courtroom and in various other public settings.
The approval process regarding asset seizures is typically very quick, said Mitchell Epner, a former federal prosecutor, and usually consists of a brief hearing and then a decision within about a week. Trump will have “extraordinarily limited appeal rights” on Engoron’s decisions, Epner said. “I’ve never seen anybody pursue them.”
Of course, seizing Trump’s bank accounts is unlikely to produce enough cash to satisfy the full judgment — Trump’s lack of liquidity is precisely the reason he’s struggling to post the bond in the first place. On Friday, Trump claimed on social media that he has almost $500 million in cash, but in court filings, his lawyers have made clear that he lacks the cash to satisfy the judgment.
The first that will happen is NY will place a lien on all properties belonging to Trump. This prevents and loans, sales, etc.
Then NY will seize property and essentially it'll go up for sale through the sheriff. That cash will then be used to satisfy the judgment.
That process will repeat until the judgment is satisfied.
Then any remaining properties with have the lien removed.
As for fraudulent transactions, sales or donations, yes, NY can sue to have those reversed so that the property can be subject to lien and seizure. There are two tests for determining whether a conveyance is fraudulent. Was it part of a normal business transaction and was it within the clawback time period. That time period is generally 2 years. It can go to 6 years under some circumstances, such as moving assets to avoid litigation or to make assets disappear in anticipation of bankruptcy. Originally Posted by 1blackman1

I'm sure there will be some liens, but she will likely go after the cash first. I think he just told everyone he has $500m.There is a retired Federal Judge who has been hired to make sure donny doesn't do any hanky panky in moving around his assets.
First, search. Then, seizure. How Tish James will go after Trump’s bank accounts and other assets.

Last I looked, he hadn’t posted his bond.
Perfect locations for asylum seekers to await their hearings.
