Like literally chubb dogded a bullet lending this money earlier rather than having to be available for the next big payout.
If you ask me is a small price to pay for salvation
Chubb did a fully collateralized bond. Meaning they got something of actual value, not just trump’s word. In this case a Schawb brokerage account full of stocks and bonds for (I believe) more than the value of the bond. Plus Chubb probably added a fee on top of the value of the bond to service the transaction. When trump loses the E Jean Carroll appeal, Chubb will hand over cash and sell off the assets in the Schawb account and pocket their service fee.
Why would they do it this way instead of just directly selling what’s in the account? I get that it takes time to unwind stuff like that, but surely it can be done in the time the judge gave?

They still loaned him a fuck ton of money that they sure won’t ever see again. So I don’t know how they dodged a bullet.
