Judge Arthur Engoron in his bombshell decision also canceled the New York business certificates of Trump, the Trump Organization, and the other defendants, including two of his sons, in a lawsuit by the state Attorney General's Office. The defendants in the case include Trump, his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, former Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg, company executive Jeff McConney, and Trump Organization entities. Engoron also ordered sanctions of $7,500 for five attorneys who represented the Trump defendants for making frivolous and previously rejected arguments in court filings. In the fourth criminal case, Trump is charged with falsifying business records related to a 2016 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels. Even after Engoron appointed an independent financial monitor for the Trump Organization last year, "defendants have continued to disseminate false and misleading information while conducting business," the judge wrote.

This is one of the concerns that has turned Instacart's IPO into a flop on its second day as a public company. To be successful, an IPO must deliver a big pop to the investors who signed on to buy stock when it debuts. He came out with an analysis of Instacart's business on Tuesday, valuing the company at $29 a share. The reason: The grocery business is low-margin, so there's not a lot of room for Instacart to skim more fees. "In short, the growth in online grocery sales will be higher than total grocery sales growth, but not overwhelmingly so."

Technology stocks are likely overvalued after massive runups, according to Aswath Damodaran. "On a pricing basis, when you've [seen] as much of a run-up as you've had, you are more likely to be overvalued than undervalued," Damodaran told CNBC's "Closing Bell" on Thursday. "You don't get a 40% run-up on companies of this size without expecting some degree of overvaluation." As recently as January, some of the bigger players in the tech sector were skewed to an undervaluation, he said. As the end of the year approaches, the trend could shift, he said, even if investor sentiment remains strong more broadly.

For the first time since 1960, Hollywood actors and writers could be on strike at the same time.
