So what is everyone going to get when the RNC has to have a fire sale post Trump? I'm hoping to get a good deal on some lecterns.

If a bunch of 'apes' can hold gamestop at orders of magnitude over and above the any reasonable valuation for years based on some fiction about unlimited wealth then they can do it for Truth Social. BUT, I don't think MAGA has that kind of solidarity. They will absolutely try and sell at the peak convinced that the whole world is trying to buy DJT's next super success story and the price will plummet at opening to essentially nothing.

I can't even imagine what kind of insane futures contracts the marginally knowledgeable Freep poster is working themselves up to.

The vast majority of his fortune is under the court's control, but he's still being paid a salary that he can use as he wishes, and that salary is larger than all of us make combined (though it's still small compared to how much money he could spend before).

This is because the incentives here are a little different from what you're probably thinking. The fundamental purpose of the courts here (both the civil court and the bankruptcy court) isn't to drive the filer to destitution, it's to make sure the creditors eventually gets paid as much of the amount as possible.

Continuing to do his show and hawk his nutritional supplements brings in so much money that from the court's perspective, it's in the creditors' financial interest for him to be in a good enough state of mind to continue doing the show (at least for now, anyway). And while his accounts are under the stewardship of the court, the court's obligation to his creditors is to avoid doing anything that might unnecessarily reduce the amount of money flowing into those accounts. So while the court is busy disentangling his complex financial affairs, the court allows him enough pay to avoid completely wrecking his lifestyle, but only as long as his show keeps bringing in more than enough money to make up for the cost of that salary. Because if he collapses into a drunken pile of depression, a miserable shell of a broken man, he probably won't be able to keep bringing in as much income to those court-controlled accounts that are ultimately destined to go to the Sandy Hook plaintiffs. Though in practice, it seems like that salary isn't quite enough for his taste, given that he's started selling off his own personal property just to keep up with expenses and legal fees.

Note that all of that is just temporary stuff while his accounts are under the custodianship of the court, though. Eventually, when the bankruptcy court is done with its work and has tracked down all of his money, those arrangements will be dismantled as pretty much all of his money is turned over to the plaintiffs. And since he failed to get bankruptcy protection, most of his assets would probably be liquidated at that point too.

That assumes that the plaintiffs don't settle for less, though. If they'd rather get paid part of his wealth now, rather than waiting for the court to find all of it and hand it over to them (which could take a while, since he tried to hide quite a bit of cash in a number of different ways), then they always have the option to negotiate a deal with him in which he willingly hands over some portion of the money in exchange for putting an end to the legal efforts to claim all the rest.

This always makes me laugh. Theyre letting him continue to peddle poison to pay for the poison he peddled previously

Not that I would do so, but is there theoretically a mechanism to do something like shorting TMTG?

cr0y posted:

When it's listed you can just short it, or buy put options (or sell calls).

Don't do any of this if you don't know what you are doing though, shorting has infinite downside and options are a great way to make money just poof into thin air, fun though when they work out.

Yeah that is quite network-centric view of the whole backend. I mean you have to leave stuff out or it becomes unreadable.

I started making a list of the stuff missing then gave up.

i suspect because even those idiots buy into places like failing stores and poo poo. places that provide a service or a product and have some actual brick and moater locations. truth social is just some bullshit based on "this loud rear end in a top hat posts here". i am not an Econ/stock nerd but id want to invest in something that actually provides "something" even shitholes like facebook and etc facilitate communication with others and poo poo even if its all about farming data. this is just "please buy stock so our insane boss will keep dancing:".
