“The insurance company that helped former President Donald Trump pay a $175 million bond is coming under more scrutiny as financial experts get a better look at the contract it wrote.

The Daily Beast reports that the Knight Specialty Insurance Company's bond contract "doesn’t actually promise it will pay the money if the former president loses his $464 million bank fraud case on appeal" but instead "says Trump will pay, negating the whole point of an insurance company guarantee."

Experts who spoke with the publication about the contract did not hold back on how shady this arrangement seems.

This is not common," said N. Alex Hanley, the CEO of Jurisco Surety Bonds. "The only reason this would be done is to limit the liability to the surety."

Standard elements incl docs related to POA for the #bond provider, #KnightSpecialtyInsurance Co, a #financial stmnt & a cert of solvency from the DFS.

Bruce Lederman, an atty who has filed many bonds in #NY, including for a real estate developer challenging a judgment, said he was struck by the "glaring errors.”

"you always have to have a cert from the DFS saying that you're licensed to issue a surety bond," he said, referring to the missing cert of solvency per §1111 of #NY #Insurance #Law.

CBS reported on the issue:

Is Trump's $175M #civil #fraud #bond valid in #NewYork?

When #Trump posted a bond in NY on Mon, it appeared that he had evaded a #financial crisis. He had paused enforcement of the >$460M judgment against him, while his appeal is pending.

But the surety bond was missing vital information typically included in those filings, experts say.
