      It means they can pay jointly, but each is liable for the whole amount.

      As in, if Trump claims to be broke, either son could be forced to pay whatever is outstanding, they can’t limit their liability to one third.

        Sounds like a perfect excuse for them to all fuck around and endlessly point the finger at one another and whine about things not being fair.

        So (assuming non payment, which seems reasonable), the winning side can just start putting liens on property and freezing bank accounts as they see fit among the liable people, up to the judgment amount?

        • Not really, kind of the opposite actually. As in there’s no fucking around because the judge already said each of them can be forced to cough it all up.

          If they don’t pay on time then yes, the court can take liens on whichever assets are the easiest to get at.
