I'm missing your implication here.

We should be getting the ruling in his NYC fraud trial which will probably be ~$350M.

Trump posted a $91.6 million bond, which covers the $83.3 million he was ordered to pay in damages for defaming Carroll and interest for putting off payment for so long.
...
Court records filed Friday show that the bond was guaranteed by the Chubb Corporation, an insurance group. In 2018, Trump appointed Chubb’s CEO Evan Greenberg to a White House advisory committee for trade policy and negotiations.

Trump only just managed to make his deadline to post bond. He had to post and then appeal by March 11, or Carroll’s lawyers could start collecting on damages.

Trump has denied the allegations and appealed the verdict, charging it was "grossly excessive" and should be tossed because of what he claimed were unfair rulings from the judge who presided over the nine-day trial.

A panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed.

"We conclude that Mr. Trump has not demonstrated that the district court erred in any of the challenged rulings. Further, he has not carried his burden to show that any claimed error or combination of claimed errors affected his substantial rights as required to warrant a new trial," the judges' ruling said.
