before NY appeals court slashed it by 60%. tRump's legal team didn't feel that the courts needed to be informed of that "technicality", and so everybody caught a break there. It doesn't stop there, the whole business is showing an indelible taint, as is true with virtually every tRump "deal", and the 22 April hearings should be quite entertaining indeed.
