This is a civil trial, so it would be a monetary penalty and would prevent him from doing business in NY.

This is true. However, I would fully expect any company that relied on those estimations to immediately sue him as well. Which just adds to his stress and legal woes, which makes me happy :)

Will it keep off the ballot in New York?

Probably not since, all evidence to the contrary, a presidential campaign isn't officially considered a for-profit business. Or even a non-profit business, which he's already not allowed to do in New York.
