In a scathing verdict that punishes a decade of deceit, the judge in Donald Trump's New York civil-fraud case on Friday slammed the GOP frontrunner, his two eldest sons, and his company with a nearly $364 million cash penalty.'The frauds found here leap off the page and shock the conscience,' the verdict by the New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron, who has presided over the case for more than three years, said.
Interest also applies to the penalties, potentially adding millions more to his ultimate verdict price tag.'When confronted at trial with the statements, defendants' fact and expert witnesses simply denied reality, and defendants failed to accept responsibility or to impose internal controls to prevent future recurrences,' Engoron wrote Friday.
