He’s going to try to stiff the court. I’d bet money on it. He’s going to hide behind his lawyers and try to claim the law doesn’t apply the same way to an ex president. Just to delay long enough for the election.
The real test of our democracy will be whether or not they just arrest him when he tries that.
DeSantis has previously stated he won’t extradite the Cheeto to NY. So in event of arrest warrant he’d just stay away from NY like he already does or til he is president and he isn’t able to be arrested over that.

Uh, I don’t think New York law provides for debtors’ prisons anymore. Those went out of style in the 1700s.
The way a court actually handles an unpaid judgment is it just orders the seizure of any property the debtor does own. It doesn’t need permission.
That’s fair. It’d be more than the court has done so far
Worth pointing out that there’s interest on it until it’s paid. Currently NY interest on judgements is 9%.
At what point do they take assets?
No clue, but the interest will pile up until they do
Presumably after the deadline stated in the order.

So they seize the assets of his companies in NY and he can never do business there again. I’m sure they’d see this as an absolute win.
He can crash on Ronda’s couch when they seize Mar-a-Lago
If he does, they can seize assets.
