          Bankruptcy isn’t a get out of debt free card. It’s a “you’re gonna sell this stuff to pay off your creditors” card.

          His sons were involved in the lawsuit and cannot legally do business in New York.

          It’s effectively no longer his to be declared bankrupt, the NY state will be appointing people to control it. This is the one he can’t escape from

          This article explains some of the consequences https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-fraud-ruling-corporate-death-penalty-for-his-empire-experts-2023-9

          I’m not sure what restrictions will be when he obviously tries to appeal. Can’t go to his sons though since they’re also affected by the order.
