Trump won against hillary spending roughly half as much as she spent and spent proportionally even less to win the primaries. He's not a candidate that wins based on money, which is in contrast to almost every other election in modern US history. Maybe he is getting money in shady ways, but his funds compared to his results wouldn't suggest that is the case.
He appealed that case and it's not a criminal case to begin with, he can juggle his finances and avoid probably the vast majority through loopholes and just refusing to pay while new york attemps (and probably fails) to garnish hundreds of millions from him and he'll probably brag about it the whole time to his fanbase.
Its being a civil case is entirely irrelevant to his financial situation.
The appeal's likely failure is part of why getting to the end of the Truth Social lockup period is so critical to Trump. Anything he can do to delay until then, he will.
Plenty of Trump's properties are within NY; the AG was ready and poised to start seizing. Hard to move Trump Tower out of NYC without someone noticing.
