Not "unfortunately", but rather "exactly as intended".
This entire business is essentially a money laundering scheme.
Yeah, it's insane the SEC hasn't already launched an investigation into such an obvious pump and dump scheme.
Musk got away with tons of pump and dumps, SEC seems toothless unless the poor people start investing in things that threaten hedge funds profits.
Nothing shows a healthy system more than blatant, rampant regulatory capture.
That's by design. People with money made sure they wouldn't be touched
I'm morbidly interested to see what happens.
Everyone knows that firstly it's grossly overvalued, secondly trump wants to sell, and thirdly whether or not Trump wins in November the shares will be worthless.
Either it’s a soon a social network based on a former candidate or it’s one that I imagine a president has to distance himself from.
Either way I can see why people don’t want to invest, even the evil greedy unethical ones.
There is no chance that this happens. He will gladly keep posting insane screeds as president with zero negative effects to his support.
Thanks for expanding my vocab! "Screed" is a great word for his insane ramblings.
I'm not so certain.
He's back on twitter, no immediate incentive to posting on truth, why bother.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they're already under investigation for breaking the law when the original SPAC openly said they were going to merge with Truth Social when the law says SPACs have to remain agnostic about what companies they may merge with until they do so
Well they’re taking way too fucking long.
They've got to wait long enough for Trump to finish dumping all his stock. Sure he may face a court case about it down the line, but that's nothing new, he'll have already laundered the money by that point and stashed it away somewhere.
Gotta check if he's got a banana stand out there
It's one banana, how much it could cost? $10?
Properly investigating most crimes, especially financial crimes, takes a lot of time and a lot of resources to get right.
Especially when there are a lot of people involved who are actively trying to hide some of their shady shit.
You want the results of the investigation to be able to withstand the court process and all the challenges the defendant will throw at it.
You don't get a second chance with things like this, you've got to get it right the first time.
They were trying to frighten off short sellers. I'm glad I stuck to it.
Do they publicly announce the start of investigations?
Most law enforcement agencies don't do that, so the people being investigated don't start interfering with the investigation.
TBH that's one thing I don't blame him for. The real losers and suckers are his base willing to give him money, and he thinks as much of them for certain.
That's not what I mean.
This company is a scheme to finance Trump's campaign from foreign sources. The foreign investors are "suckers", in the sense that they lost money on their investment, but they still achieved their goal: funneling money to Trump.
All the retail investors and MAGA heads are just collateral damage.
