Read it last night. What I think is notable (besides the awesome-in-the-original-sense sum of money) is that Judge Engoron has retracted his previous order to lump-dissolve the Trump businesses. Because the Trump entities are going to be under supervision by not one, but two independent monitors, Engoron has decided to decide those on a case-by-case basis. Given how widespread the fraud in the Trump ecosystem appears to be, I expect this judgment to be the gift that keeps on giving.
In any case, massive props to Engoron for a) taking this important step into the societal dark, and b) keeping a cool head in the face of the defense's shenanigans.
