In the grand scheme of things, it’s not that much. I’ve made comparable progress payments to utility contractors. It’s not very hard to transfer electronically or prepare a cashier’s check. In the latter case, I would personally take it directly to the bank—do not pass go—and wait to endorse it until I was in front of a teller.
Typically large money transfers like that will be done with SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) also known as “wire transfers”.
Although for some reason when I sold my previous house, the proceeds were in the form of a cheque from the real estate lawyer. Man, that was one little piece of paper I definitely did not want to see blow away in the wind!
As reported, nobody knows, at least nobody who isn’t involved directly in the case.
Courts are slow.
That’s typical for real estate transfers in Canada. As a Canadian lawyer, I’ve signed a few such cheques. It’s a little nerve-wracking, but necessary to conclude the deal.
I’ll also add, it just takes a long time. Here is a web site talking about a bunch of reasons why it can take a while to receive money in a New York court. Most wouldn’t apply to this case, but some of them could.
If you Google, you can find page after page talking about various things that can cause delays, but bottom line is, it can take a while and that’s just how the courts are.
You can hope that this case is faster than most, given all the time it has already taken, the appeals already exhausted, money already in escrow (so no need to go after the other party directly), but you just don’t get the money right away.
Thanks again for the info but this is very disappointing. I’m really looking forward to the atomic level meltdown that will be incoming from DJT when the cash is well and truly in Carroll’s account.
I’m sure it’s coming. And I am too, big time.
I find it very hard to believe that all this money transfer information isn’t already in the hands of the proper people. “First they need to…” statements fall flatter than a two dimensional depiction of a pancake.
How long before the IRS ‘investigates’ their tax exempt status?
The courts won’t, and I don’t think they should, but she can, and I think that she should.
The day after the electronic transfer she can have a press conference and a huge check with a header on top that reads ‘from the accounts of Donald J Trump’ filled out For the Healing of Victims Sexualy Abused by the Powerful Who Can’t get them to Say Yes.
Make it physically the biggest novelty check ever, with gold printing, in fact make the whole thing gold. Lots of balloons and confetti, gold confetti.
Love it, truly do.

As much as I love the idea of trolling Trump like this, he’d claim it was a death threat and have her thrown in jail.
Let’s make it 5809, the last four digits of his Georgia prisoner’s number.
Whether she actually gets paid or not, and I understand she’s actually owed $88 million with the defamation lawsuit, it seems to me the point is to show what scum he is. And MAGA and half of brainwashed America loves him anyway.
Then the point is moot, and the real punishment, to him and his Trumpeteers, is handing over the cash.
Which he still hasn’t done!
I agree. It would be nice to hold him down and force him to pay. But has Trump ever paid anyone? Lawyers? Contractors? Bonuses for citizens? And as long as the Republicans are in charge of all three branches of gov’t, he never will. Maybe that will change come November.
Two separate suits. The current one is the $5.5M (plus interest) for the civil suit.
There is a second suit for defamation, which is the $88M (plus interest). That one is still working through appeals
