A recent ruling has held Donald Trump liable for fraud, creating significant uncertainties for the Trump Organization
New York Judge Arthur Engoron delivered the shocking ruling, finding Trump and his adult sons liable for fraud and canceling the organization's business certification
Trump's legal team is grappling with the ruling's unclear scope, raising questions about which parts of the company are affected and whether it includes unrelated entities like Trump family residences
The ruling appoints a receiver to oversee the dissolution of Trump's corporate entities, a move reserved for significant business fraud cases
Questions arise about how the receiver will manage the dissolution of properties, including those outside New York, like Mar-a-Lago
Despite the ruling, the trial is proceeding, aiming to hold Trump and his sons liable for insurance fraud and false business records
The trial involves a substantial number of witnesses, with 188 individuals set to testify, though the exact breakdown remains unspecified
Trump's legal team intends to appeal the ruling, claiming it could lead to the nationalization of the Trump Organization
The legal battle is expected to be protracted and complex, with both sides preparing for a challenging process
The outcome of this case will have far-reaching implications for Donald Trump, the Trump Organization, and its extensive business empire
