Fat former President Trump’s sugar daddy Don Hankey, who put up the $175 million bond for the slob to appeal the massive New York State judgment against his corrupt business empire, turns out to be previously known to Donald’s failed presidential administration. And not in a good way.

The Daily Beast reports that in September 2017 the Trump Justice Department under then-US Attorney General Jeff Sessions sued Hankey’s company Westlake Services – a scammy daytime TV commercial payday and auto loan operation – for violating the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act by illegally repossessing at least 70 cars owned by active duty military personnel. Westlake settled immediately and paid $700,000 in restitution to the troops plus a $61,000 fine. This was far from the largest hit Westlake ever took from Uncle Sam for fucking around as it came just two years after they paid out $44 million in restitution plus a civil fine of $4.25 million when the CFPB took them on for “illegal debt collection tactics” over God knows what the hell kind of awful shit.

In very much related news the Clerk of the New York County Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected the Trump legal team’s filing of the bond that Hankey’s covering, writing “The court has returned the documents listed below for the following reasons: Please include a current financial statement and Power of Attorney. Additionally, please list the name of the Attorney-in-Fact under the signature line on the Undertaking. Please use the ‘Refile Document’ link for Doc No 1707 to resubmit the corrected filing. Thank you and have a great day.” What the “current financial statement” part means exactly we don’t know, but the possibilities range from a simple paperwork fuckup to Trump just now being informed that he needs to supply a full financial statement to a public appellate docket.
