00:00 A New York judge ruled Friday against Donald Trump, imposing a $364 million US penalty
00:05 over what the judge ruled was a year-long scheme to dupe banks and others with financial
00:10 statements that inflated the former president's wealth.
00:13 Trump also was barred from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation for
00:18 three years.
00:19 However, the judge backed away from an earlier ruling that would have dissolved the former
00:23 president's companies.
00:25 About to appeal, attorney Alina Hapa and Trump lawyer Christopher Kice said the verdict,
00:31 if upheld, would damage the business environment.
00:34 George Arthur N. Goron issued his decision after a two-and-a-half-month trial that saw
00:39 the Republican presidential front-runner bristling under oath that he was the victim of a rigged
00:43 legal system.
00:44 N. Goron concluded that Trump and his co-defendants failed to accept responsibility for their
00:49 actions.
