Pretty much what the title says. I know he’s a former president and has all of his supporters, but what’s the official reason? Thanks.

This isn’t about the trial he lost from raping Jean Carroll. This is about Trump lost a trial about defrauding banks and insurance companies.
Bankman Fried defrauded banks, was put on criminal trial and was sent to jail Trump defrauded banks but was only put on civil trial resulting in a fine.
My bad, of course, not sure why the defamation trial was still in my head.
SBF engaged in things like securities fraud as well, which is harder to spin into a civil thing I guess.
My bet on why they decided to go the civil route is that Trump has the money to make things right (if he will that’s another thing), and SBF has nothing.
So they’ve just decided to go the “better for everybody” route, since, well, it’s better for everybody.
