    Even if he offered $453m, this is not how it works. There’s a judgement on $454m including interest, and that’s it, and it increases every day he doesn’t pay.

      I wonder what the legal arguments was to the courts that would allow/require them to settle for 25 cents on the dollar.

        I haven’t heard about any legal argument, I frankly don’t think they had any.
        It’s probably a PR stunt, where Trump will claim he offered a GOOD deal, and be all offended when they begin to confiscate because he can’t pay.
        And his gullible followers will fall for it, and think Trump is the victim.
