“Post 17. That’s what I was responding to. And no disclosure has shown 500 million cash on hand.”
Apparently, it was Travis_in_Flint who got it wrong (in his Tweet) by ASSUMING the judge knew this amount from legally-required disclosures:

Trump stated he had this much cash on-hand and intended to use a “substantial amount” (how much is that?) of it for his campaign. This could also take the form of a loan to his campaign which his campaign pays him back. I think this is how he can have half-a-billion dollars cash and NOT report it in a campaign disclosure. It’s his own money, and not donations.
But how did the judge know? Probably because Trump was forced to disclose everything about his personal finances in the investigation and discovery.
What seems to be correct is that the judge specified an amount intended to criple his campaign based on what the judge knew.
That’s if what Trump posted on his social media platform is true because what his lawyers are telling the court is totally different, which has legal consequences.
