Key Takeaways From the Verdict in Trump's New York Fraud Case.

Former President Donald Trump, his sons, and top executives have been hit with a $364 million verdict in a lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

While the penalty is significant, it falls short of the worst-case scenario as the judge did not ban Trump from the New York real estate industry for life or force the Trump Organization to shut down.
