Posting a Bond for the funds in contention, not an "escrow account".

"registry" --- essentially, an "escrow account." The funds are technically the property of the court. And under the 2023 agreement between Carroll and Trump, the disbursement of the funds to Carroll, once the conditions for disbursement have been satisfied, is accomplished either by Trump and Carroll submitting a stipulation to the court calling for the disbursement, or by a motion filed by Carroll to which Trump gets to respond. Not surprisingly, Trump didn't agree to stipulate that the conditions have been met, so Carroll has filed her motion and the court expedited the deadline for Trump's response, normally due in 14 days, to 7 days -- so its due today.

He reported $2.4 billion last year in earnings. $5 million is nothing for the truly wealthy—which is why he’s on the d-list.

... earmarked for disbursal to Ms. Carroll, but the fat pusbag fights it tooth and nail because he cannot bear to be seen losing... to a WOMAN! Or anyone else, for that matter. Plus, he's tacitly admitting that he can't get laid without paying for it, or raping someone. It's obvious that he prefers the latter.
The Bionic Wee-wee is a pitiful fraud.
