Truth social is going public, and Trumpo is, on paper and in 6 months, to gain up to $3 billion.

JUST FUCKING TAKE OFF ALREADY, SHIT
Trump got caught with his crimes because he ran for president, got elected, and continued to do his crimes he would do as a businessman in an office that is under scrutiny magnitudes higher than most.

Trump is essentially that kid that shouts out loud “I’m not in here,” when playing hide and seek and then crying about it when he gets found. He’s essentially did this all to himself because he grew up extremely privileged in a lovely family and figured he could just keep doing whatever he wanted as long as he was breathing.

I am sure there are dozens if not hundreds of contractors, employees, small businesses and investors that are pleased as gently caress that Trump is getting taken to the cleaners because Trump is famously known for trying to get everything either for free or just not paying a full amount or even half for anyone’s labor for him.

I guarantee you that Trump would rather not be president than not having to pay out all this money. While I am sure he has never felt regret, I know there must be one small tiny thought in his mind that maybe, just maybe, he should have just loving stayed in his golden palace and not went down that escalator.

Without getting into too many details, this is the company that's combining with Truth social. Trump wanted to do a massive stock split and be granted special permission to immediately sell his shares instead of having to wait six months. There is zero value in Truth beyond Trump posting there: no income, no expanding user base, no valuable data, nothing. Some people were meme stocking this company, but it's become so obvious that this is going to go bad fast that some are cutting and running.

Yeah, Trump effectively could've continued to profit from his crimes if he just hadn't become president. He threw a lens on his personal life like an absolute moron.

I haven’t had time to follow anything but the headlines pronouncing Trump about to rake in a windfall of $2B because of course he would. I’m glad it sounds like it’s collapsing though (?).

Yeah, there's apparently some infighting because this is coming out of a merger with Digital World and there's been lawsuits between the merging owners.

some liberal rag posted:

More recently, the deal has been embroiled in a legal battle royale, with four lawsuits in three states involving Trump Media, Digital World, the co-founders Andy Litinsky and Wes Moss, and Digital World’s former chief executive Patrick Orlando.

Orlando, who was fired as chief last year but remains in control of Digital World’s biggest founding investor Arc Global Investments II, had refused to vote in support of the merger before Friday’s vote, potentially imperiling the deal, attorneys for Trump Media and Digital World said in a lawsuit this week seeking to force his vote. He spoke only briefly on a shareholder call Friday and did not offer further comment on the suit.

Digital World’s more than 400,000 retail investors included supporters of Trump and speculators hoping to cash in on the deal’s attention. One investor, dressed in a pirate costume and calling himself “Captain DWAC,” live-streamed the shareholder vote on Rumble and played sounds of applause when the successful vote was announced.

Digital World’s share price slid 5 percent during the meeting.

AFAICT if the stock stays above $12/share for 6 months he would be eligible to cash out about a billion dollars. Except that it won't, and even if it did the price would tank at the first sign of him selling

Note: The vote failing would mean DWAC dissolves and everyone gets $10 for each of their shares. DWAC only exists as a vehicle to buy a company and they picked Truth they aren't going to pick a new target this late in the game they'd make a new SPAC.

Market caps of companies are vastly overstated what the entire company could sell for.

Most pricing sites set the price at an average between the highest outstanding buy order (bid) and the lowest outstanding sell order (ask). Meaning if someone has a bid at $41.00 and another guy has an ask at $41.10, the market price is $41.05 (these two prices never meet, because if they do the trade just gets executed at that price).

Market cap is the number of shares outstanding at this price. But that doesn't mean you can just hit a button and sell at that price, you gotta chew through people's bids. You fulfill bids at the highest price, then the next highest, then the next highest, and as you go through those bids the highest outstanding bid price plummets.

You gotta fill orders to sell it, and nobody is gonna have a bid in of "all shares" at "market price". It's gonna be like, 1,000 shares for $35.00, 1,000 shares at 34.90, 100 shares at 34.80, and so on, and as you move down the bid book filling orders, what you're selling for plummets when you're moving that much stock.

It makes putting chemicals in there illegal.

well probably no because contrails are just water vapor and although i don't spit about lawyerin, the ban doesn't ban actual contrails and i don't think you can go to court and claim that they're something else when they factually aren't
