    Cohen testified that he paid RedFinch $20,000 of a $50,000 technology bill, sought reimbursement for the full amount, and kept $30,000, calling it theft from the Trump Organization after his bonus was cut. He also testified that books and podcasts had earned about $4.4 million since 2020. The first amount was a loss to his former employer; the second was gross post-break income to Cohen from different payers and years.
