2. E. Jean Carroll for the persistence, courage, and intelligence to listen to good advice...

George Conway-- who learned of Carroll's issue at a social event in NYC, spoke with her, and convinced her to avail herself of the incredibly adept and competent legal talents of Roberta Kaplan--who has been phenomenal.

All get their share of kudos!

Upon re-reading the text of the OP in context, I realize I may have misconstrued the meaning of the last sentence.

8. Didn't Chump have to prepay the fines? I think the money went into escrow

He wasn't allowed to challenge or appeal the rulings until after the fines were paid.
I don't know, maybe he didn't pay the full amount, but the money is in escrow.

Time to celebrate!

9. Money is contained in an account controlled by the Court, need to do that if you Appeal.

Judge saying "up the complete money due if you think you have a shot TO CHANGE RESULT" makes one think this money is there but you can not touch it. Give the other side confidence that cash will be there when the Appeal fails.

12. IIRC Trump put the $5 million in escrow

I believe he had to pony up the cash in order to appeal the ruling. This would imply that Ms. Carroll should receive the money pretty soon.

He won’t win the $85 million appeal either. Do you know why?

Because Trump is a loser.

And a rapist.
And a fraudster.
And a liar.
And a misogynist.
And a racist.
And a stupid ignorant fuck.
