These are corporate bonds, rather than stocks. They will pay out a fixed amount over a given period of time. One might assume this is a down payment for silence
Bonds are basically buying shares of a loan to the company, not stock in it. Different risk profile, but also risky if the head of the company is about to be indicated
Wouldn’t that be a bad financial decision? Am I stupid??

Oh right, thank you for explaining.
I’m assuming he didn’t so much buy the bonds, but was gifted them.
But why gift him something if he’s going to subpoena you. I’m so confused.
The subpoena was happening either way. But the bonds are a gift to prevent prosecution. Or at least that’s how I read it.
Edit: Looking at it another way, buying the bonds could be Trump buying the guys silence when he testifies.

In that case you’d buy shorts or if you have an appetite for risk, a contract for difference (CFD) or options
Bonds and stocks are very different investment vehicles. In this case it’s similar to shorting a stock (betting the price will go down).
