The Judgment Fund is 31 USC § 1304 (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/31/1304)

The payments in question cite 28 USC § 2414, which is authorized by the Judgement Fund law

31 USC § 1304
  (a) Necessary amounts are appropriated to pay final judgments, awards, compromise settlements, 
      and interest and costs specified in the judgments or otherwise authorized by law when—
      (1) payment is not otherwise provided for;
      (2) payment is certified by the Secretary of the Treasury; and
      (3) the judgment, award, or settlement is payable—
          (A) under section 2414, 2517, 2672, or 2677 of title 28;
There's no mention of any cap on payments made from the Judgment Fund

Still, why wasn't the entire amount paid in a single payment? Why were the payments kept a penny below $100,000,000?

And since there was no “judgement” why was the money dispersed through the “judgement fund?”

Someone will find a reason. I see no legal obstacles to a lump-sum payment although I haven’t researched the issue. Maybe they wanted it separated into multiple payments in case something went wrong with a wire transfer so big. Maybe they sent it through other countries that have limitations on transfer.

Try making 13 $9999.99 transfers from your own bank account with your own money and see how far you get.

The corruption we know of, is likely the tip of the iceburg. 90-95% is still in the dark like mildew. In a sane world this would be enough to cause a run on pitchforks and torches.

So Obola pays 13 times out of a permanent contingency fund that was set up for 100,000,000.00 payments for a total of 1.3 billion?

What’s happened to the rest of the money? Who ELSE has been paid off over the years? Does ANYBODY in DC care about 100,000,000.00 any more? (My company requires justification for EVERY expense, and fights for even a $100.00 tool over the budget.)
