Trump Could Get $3.5B Windfall after Shareholders Approve Truth Social Merger
Breitbart ^ | 03/22/2024 | KRISTINA WONG

Former President Donald Trump stands to get a windfall of $3.5 billion now that shareholders of Digital World Acquisition Corp. have approved a merger with his Truth Social on Friday.

The potential multibillion dollar infusion comes as New York Attorney General Letitia James is moving to seize Trump’s assets to pay a $464 million bond in his New York civil fraud case.

The long-delayed merger came after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved it last month, and means that Trump’s company Trump Media & Technology Group will trade on the stock market under the stock ticker “DJT” as early as next week.

BUT!

The Board would also have to waive the 6 month lockup period to allow him to sell part of his position.

She's starting to remind me of Rumpelstiltskin...the mad “genius” who was so sure he was getting a “gotcha”.

A “windfall” makes it seem like he just got lucky or something. Inconceivable!

Too bad for you, Letitia and your crooked judge...you aimed too low if this goes through. You can’t amend the amount now!!! Sorry!

I guess we’ll see who pulls the strings to hold everything up past the 25th...

Anyone that doesn’t think these demons have another trick up their sleeve even if he DOES come up with the money need to wake up.

Do we really think they’re just gonna take the money and say “OK thank you”?

Not bloody likely.

Trump said he had the cash to pay the "fine"....He'll use the cash as collateral for a bond...knowing that this is coming down the line.

Let the appeal begin!!

More detailed stories indicate he’s betting on the come...anticipating Board approval AND the company actually going public.

“The best they can do is hold the money...It is not theirs...”

With all due respect my friend, I’m afraid that’s a little naive.

These people have already demonstrated that they couldn’t care less about the law and will not be bound by it.

I hope I’m as wrong as wrong can be but I seriously doubt it.

“I so hope this happens ASAP”

If he started selling the stock price would tank.

Looks like the shareholders approved the IPO this morn and DJT will start trading next week

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/22/trump-could-net-3-billion-from-dwac-social-media-merger-vote.html

More importantly, a good chance the board will waive the 6 month delay requirement for Trump to sell his shares so he can raise the money he needs to untie himself from Letitia’s lawfare railroad tracks

“It is possible that the board of directors could vote to allow Trump to sell shares earlier than that. And that board could be stocked with people close to Trump, including his son Donald Trump Jr., former wrestling company executive Linda McMahon, and Trump’s former trade representative Robert Lighthizer, according to a list of planned nominees.”
