Former President Trump ordered to pay $364 million for fraudulent business practices

Former President Trump and executives of the Trump Organization were ordered to pay $364 million for fraudulent business practices in New York. The judge also banned Trump from running a business in the state for three years and appointed an independent monitor to oversee the Trump Organization's financial activities. However, the business was not dissolved, and Trump plans to appeal the decision. Additionally, Trump media's platform, Truth Social, is set to merge with a special purpose acquisition company, potentially making his stake in the post-merger company worth nearly $4 billion.
