Greenpeace ordered to pay more than $660 million in damages to Energy Transfer , the developer of the Dakota Access Pipeline .

The outcome found Greenpeace liable for hundreds of millions of dollars over actions taken to prevent the construction of the pipeline nearly a decade ago .

It marks an extraordinary legal blow for Greenpeace , which had previously warned that it could be forced into bankruptcy because of the case.

Greenpeace says it intends to appeal the verdict.
