Trump tried to defraud his truth social business partners

His share is worth $3 billion when and if someone offers to buy it for $3 billion. Let’s see what the shares trade for when people have to pay real money for them.
 
Trump desperately needs this. What I don't get is why people would put so much money into a social media site that is rather tiny.

Other than for laundering purposes of course.

So it looks like Trump is set to get about $3 billion from his "wildly popular" social media site/company going public, and while I'm no financial expert, it stinks to high heaven.
While this deal makes no sense it simply means more assets for his creditors to seize.

I'd wager he's planning a repeat of his casino theft. He walked away with big bucks and left his "investors" holding an empty sack. Fools...money...

Any person of normal intelligence knows that "Truth" Social is really "Trump" social. The only reason anyone participates there is to stay in touch with Orange ManBoy. It's the same as subscribing to a porn site. Do people frequent porn sites to learn anything? Okay, maybe if you've never been to a porn site your curiosity might be piqued by what you've heard so you go check things out. If you decide to stay and actually become a regular user it's because you enjoy what's there. If you don't enjoy Orange ManBoy you're not going to hang around.

Not sure how this relates to my comment that you quoted.
 
From what I've read, he could cash out early, if they allow him to. But who is "they"? Who allows the rules to be changed? Doesn't he have a majority of shares in the first place? Who's the board?

A little humor, google "DJT stock" and you get the Dow Jones Transportation Average. :D
 
The one thing I was thinking about was Volume. Looking at the stock, share volume is around a million a day. The trade numbers are similar to that of Gamestop, a stock that at one was a meme stock. Google trades 10 to 20 times more than DWAC has.

Which makes me wonder. How long would it take to sell his shares, as someone needs to actually buy them. Again, this is where the fraud likely exists. But it seems unlikely that a company whose only asset is cash on hand (~$300 million alledgedly), and somehow manages to lose around $25 million a year on interest payments (WTF is that about?!), can entice some other people to buy shares at the existing premium. Making one wonder, how much of his shares are effectively locked in place and unsellable (without a prearranged deal)?

He'd need to sell over 13 million shares, just to get the cash to fund a bond.

Where are you getting volume data for a stock that isn’t publicly traded yet?
 
What is publicly traded today is the SPAC (money bags) that will fund/is funding Truth Social. It trades at about $42. Its stock symbol is DWAC.
Trump Media & Technology Group is the company that runs Truth Social. Devin Nunes is the CEO. It is referred to as TMTG but is not a publicly traded company.
DJT is a stock symbol I believe Trump holds but is not an actual stock yet. It is expected to be when DWAC merges with TMTG.

 
The shares are up nearly 25% today. WTF?! How does a business failure keep getting this lucky?!
 
Meanwhile, Appeals Court lowers cost to $175 million and gives Trump 10 more days. Wondering if Trump can manage that one. Certainly more possible. Though he does have the $100ish million in the appeal that he will lose.

One funny thing I saw on Electoral-Vote was Willis seizing the shares and control of Truth Social. :D
 
Trump is a master at fleecing his followers, who willingly give up their cash for him and his causes. They are willing to pay any price to own a piece of his business and help out their hero. Meanwhile, I'm sure he is already trying to come up with schemes to bleed them for the maximum. Probably more dilution and bond offerings so he can cash out the maximum. The business will eventually die from lack of capital, profits and crushing debt, but his devotees will keep it going on life support for a number of years. Also, I suspect the stock price will vary wildly based on whether he wins or loses the election. If he wins you can bet the shares will have a big increase.

Pump and dump perhaps?
Nope, just the gullible willingly letting themselves get fleeced along with speculative gamblers trying to make profitable short term trades. The shares have been highly volitile ever since it was announced they were planning to merge with Trump's company. A change of 25% in the value of the shares happens quite often.

It was down over 13% on friday. C'est la vie.

The valuation is based on the current price of DWAC shares. One share of DWAC divided by the percentage ownership of the post-merger company one share will provide gives the total value of the company. Trump's portion of that value is equal to his post-merger percentage ownership of the entity. So in some sense people are already paying real money for them.
 
Up 30% now. :oops:

I wish the world could be as unfair to me as it has to Trump.

With the merger’s closing, which came 29 months after the agreement was first announced, TMTG Chief Executive Devin Nunes, and the existing management team, will continue to lead the company.

“As a public company, we will passionately pursue our vision to build a movement to reclaim the internet from big tech censors,” Nunes said.
Well, it hadn't happened as a private company that censored posts.

We've got $300 million in cash and if we merge with a social media site with 5 million accounts, we are going to change things!
 
Jay Ritter, a finance professor at the University of Florida, told CNN that if the company’s stock reflected its actual value it would be priced not at $70 but at $2.
He is barred for six months from selling any of that stake, unless he receives permission from the company’s board. Rather naïvely, I assumed this would be difficult, because so big a sell-off might look to regulators an awful lot like an illegal “pump and dump” scheme wherein some boiler-room sleazeball talks up the value of a stock to investors and then dumps his shares, making a killing while his clients lose their shirts.
Truth Social’s board, which turns out to consist of seven members, three of them former Trump administration officials (former U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, former White House aide Kash Patel, and former Small Business Administration chief Linda McMahon). Former Representative Devin Nunes, whose reward for running interference during Trump’s first impeachment was to be named chief executive of Truth Social, makes four board members unlikely to contradict Trump, and a fifth is Don Jr., who wouldn’t know how. If Trump asked this board to jump off Trump Tower, it would race to the elevator and push “up.”
According to The Wall Street Journals Amrith Ramkumar, should Trump receive a waiver from his board, company rules will permit him to sell “several hundred million dollars worth of stock” over a three-month period.
