☆ Coastal cities are sinking in the US and pushing sea level rise into overdrive
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-06 | by ( Rachel Ramirez | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

CNN —Dozens of cities along the US coastline are sinking at alarming rates, leaving them far more exposed to devastating flooding from sea level rise than previously thought, scientists reported Wednesday. Cities on the East Coast where sinking land is exacerbating sea level rise include New York City and Atlantic City; Virginia Beach; Charleston, South Carolina; and Savannah, Georgia. As much as a third of sea level rise in this region over the next three decades could come from the sinking effect, the report found. This is a particular problem in areas where new coastal land has been created over the years by backfilling with sediment. Additionally, researchers say most sea level rise studies make projections for the end of the century, which “is viewed as too far (away) to begin planning,” Shirzaei said.

Former CFO Allen Weisselberg leaves the courtroom for a lunch recess during a trial at the New York Supreme Court on November 17, 2022 in New York City. Former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg is expected to plead guilty to perjury charges on Monday related to the testimony he gave in the New York civil fraud trial of Donald Trump and his company, NBC News reported. An attorney for Weisselberg and spokespeople for the DA's office did not immediately reply to CNBC's request for comment. The New York Times reported in early February that Weisselberg was in negotiations to plead guilty to lying on the witness stand in the Trump business fraud lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Weisselberg has already pleaded guilty once in connection with his work for the Trump Organization.

The story of Brooksley Born is not only the tale of a remarkable regulator whose Cassandra-like warnings — if heeded — could've prevented the great financial crisis from exploding into raging, ruinous enormity. Not long after she assumed chairmanship of the CFTC, Born started to feel a lingering unease with the rapidly expanding derivatives market. So to Rubin, Born was more of an inconvenience than anything, and she certainly wasn't in his club. Not long after, Treasury officials lobbied Congress to pass legislation preventing the CFTC from being able to regulate the OTC derivatives market. In the months and years that followed, it became increasingly hard to deny that the multi-trillion-dollar OTC derivatives market was the root cause of the great financial crisis.

Weisselberg was at that sit-down with Forbes, assistant Manhattan district attorney Gary Fishman said Monday, during the ex-CFO's plea hearing. Engoron and state officials have contended that the square footage was intentionally inflated by Trump and Weisselberg as far back as 2012.

On that same day, the total Trump owes New York will tick up by another $1 million, to $456 million. Former Trump Organization CEO Allen Weisselberg owes $1 million; interest is adding $272 to his total every day.

The former president, who has lost two recent civil cases, is under pressure to find enough cash to stave off enormous asset seizures while he appeals judgments against him totaling at least $537 million. One, $454 million, was imposed by a New York State judge last month in Mr. Trump’s civil fraud trial. The other, $83.3 million, was awarded in January by a federal jury in a defamation case brought by the writer E. Jean Carroll. They offered a New York appeals court a bond of only $100 million while he appeals. Mr. Trump’s lawyers said that to secure the full $454 million set by Justice Arthur F. Engoron, he would probably need to sell properties.

☆ Trump seeks to post $100 million bond in fraud appeal, fraction of total judgement

Attorneys for Donald Trump on Wednesday said the former president and his co-defendants plan to post a $100 million bond to pause enforcement of their civil fraud judgment — though that is just a fraction of the total amount that they have been ordered to pay. To secure a "complete" appeal bond — which could cost more than $550 million — would be "impossible," the defense lawyers wrote in a court filing to the appellate division of Manhattan Supreme Court. Engoron ordered the defendants to pay a total of $464.6 million in fines and interest. Trump's total was more than $454 million, which includes more than $98 million in pre-judgment interest. In this case, the bond could be worth upwards of $550 million.

Staff members who came into contact with the substance were isolated while emergency services tested the powder, spokesperson Al Baker said. That amount includes the $354 million penalty against Trump and his company, as well as nearly $100 million in pre-judgment interest. Engoran's verdict also bans Trump from operating a New York business for three years, jeopardizing Trump's role in his own business empire. AdvertisementA spokesperson for Trump Jr. told the outlet that the test results came back inconclusive, but officials did not believe the substance was deadly.

Trump has less than 30 days to post the money to prevent the New York attorney general’s office from taking steps to execute the judgment, including potentially move to seize properties. The judge also ordered that an independent monitor, who has been in place at the Trump Organization since 2022, continue in the position for an additional three years. He also said the real estate company needed to install an independent compliance director.

Donald Trump is personally on the hook for $454 million, including interest payments. His sons were each ordered to pay more than $4 million back in gains they improperly received because of the fraud. Engoron’s signed judgment was posted to the court docket Friday, one week after he found Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump liable for fraud in the civil case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. His lawyers had argued it wouldn’t harm the New York attorney general’s office and would allow for an orderly process given the “magnitude” of the decision.

Read previewNEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump has appealed his $454 million New York civil fraud judgment, challenging a judge's finding that Trump lied about his wealth as he grew the real estate empire that launched him to stardom and the presidency. Trump's lawyers wrote in court papers that they're asking the appeals court to decide whether Engoron "committed errors of law and/or fact" and whether he abused his discretion and/or his jurisdiction. Among other penalties, the judge put strict limitations on the ability of Trump's company, the Trump Organization, to do business. Engoron ordered Trump to pay $355 million in penalties, but with interest the total has grown to nearly $454 million. If Trump is unsuccessful at the Appellate Division, he can ask the state's highest court, the Court of Appeals, to consider taking his case.

Under the gag order, Trump would additionally be forbidden from attacking jurors, staff members at the DA's office and the court, and the employees' families. The attacks triggered waves of antisemitic and sexist threats, and an appeals court upheld the gag order that Engoron imposed. Trump could not be trusted with moderating his own comments unless the judge issued a gag order, prosecutors wrote.
