*$787.5M (not BN)
I have a quixotic side, too 
A lien on their assets, one presumes.
Tucker Carlson will not be seen tonight, because we’re all locked out of the building.
It sounds like it is going to be paid by taxpayers (via a tax write-off) and probably insurance. Sadly, this isn’t likely to damage Fox News profitability very much if at all. They settled because have their people testify might have caused some damage.

I’d like to take a brief moment to share this Classic Kevin McCarthy Moment:
In a “60 Minutes” interview that aired [on a] Sunday, Scott Pelley asked House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy about the phone call between Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that now sits at the center of Democrats’ impeachment inquiry into the President. And then this happened:
Pelley: What do you make of this exchange? President Zelensky says, “We are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.” And President Trump replies, “I would like you to do us a favor though.”
McCarthy: You just added another word.
Pelley: No, it’s in the transcript.
McCarthy: He said - “I’d like you to do a favor though?”
Pelley: Yes, it’s in the White House transcript.
“Tucker Carlson will not be seen tonight, because he has been sold to a firm doing cosmetics testing.”
I’m not advocating – in any way, shape or form – harming Tucker Carlson, but I do happen to love rabbits. Maybe a swap could be arranged?
Not just a lien. They could levy assets - literally a court order to go in and start seizing stuff to pay the debt.
Doesn’t FOX more or less have the cash to lay it out on the barrelhead? I’d expect a frozen bank account or several would be the simplest way to enforce payment.
But I don’t expect FOX will avoid paying as soon as they can. It’s not in their interests to drag it out.
I’m reminded of the story from some years ago where someone took a bank to small claims court for some improper financial activity and was awarded a judgment, then showed up at the local bank with a sheriff to literally seize physical items to collect the money they had been awarded.
I remember that story, I think they had incorrectly foreclosed on his house or something. Wells Fargo maybe? The guy showed up at a branch office with a sheriff’s deputy and started loading up computers and stuff.
Which novelist Tim Dorsey used as a major plot point in his 2015 book Shark Skin Suite.
Yep, that’s the one. As I recall, the bank figured they could just blow off the judgment because they didn’t think it was enforceable.
Me either. They pay it off and pretend nothing happened, and publicly act like they didn’t do anything wrong and are still the paragon of journalistic excellence they always have been. 
Here you go……
Never mind
(The claims that fox has fired some of its hosts is just speculation at this point. I jumped the gun).
that would be awesome, just gathering stuff while the cameras roll. please, exit the couch.
Bank of America.
