Trump was fined more than $350 million for exaggerating his assets and responded: Scam!. A New York judge said that Trump inflated his net worth for about 10 years to obtain preferential interest rates from banks and insurance companies.
The judge also ruled that Trump would be barred from holding any top job at a New York company for three years and imposed a two-year ban on Trump's two sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. NBC said that this decision may cause a potential blow to Trump, who is running for president, both financially and personally.
