- Donald Trump has posted a $175 million bond following an appeal court's decision in his New York civil fraud case.
- In total, Trump and three top Trump Organization execs owe New York nearly half a billion dollars.
- But they'll only have to pay the full amount if they lose their appeal.
Donald Trump on Monday posted a $175 million appeal bond in his New York civil fraud case, an amount reflecting the big break a Manhattan appeals court had granted him last week on the nearly half a billion dollars he and his company actually owe the state.
The former president secured the bond on Monday via Knight Speciality Insurance Company, a Los Angeles surety company.
