In February 2024, **Judge Arthur Engoron** ruled that Trump and his company had repeatedly **inflated the value of properties and financial statements** to secure more favorable loan and insurance terms, finding them liable for massive financial misrepresentation.
The court ordered Trump to pay more than **$450 million** in disgorgement and penalties. To halt enforcement of the judgment while he appeals, Trump was required to post a bond.
