    [b]YouTube Yanks Podcast With Trump[/b][/h1]  
    YouTube has removed a podcast episode featuring Donald Trump because it contained content that advances claims that widespread fraud, errors or glitches changed the outcome of the U.S. 2020 presidential election, [link=https://www.thewrap.com/trump-guest-podcast-episode-doesnt-last-24-hours-before-youtube-takes-it-down/]The Wrap[/link] reports.
     
    Trump ripped the decision [link=https://twitter.com/realLizUSA/status/1502284765688389643?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1502284765688389643%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thedailybeast.com%2Fdonald-trump-whines-about-nelk-boys-podcast-ban-in-new-temper-tantrum]in a statement[/link]: In the 24 hours that it was up it set every record for them, by many times. Interestingly on the show I told them this would happen because Big Tech and the Fake News Media fear the truth, they fear criticism about Biden, and above all, they dont want to talk about the Rigged 2020 Presidential Election, all topics discussed.

    [link=https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-truth-social-media-app-review-ghost-town-overrun-bots-2022-3]Rosie Bradbury[/link]: I downloaded the Truth Social app on launch day and created an account only to be told Id been put on a waitlist in spot number 157,120. Three weeks later, on March 14, I was finally allowed to use the app.
    And I foundnot very much. It was like a conservative ghost town that had been overrun by bots.

          Some people are saying it’s because they were contingent on background check.   I kind of thought having him on the board would be a bad move when dealing with the SEC.  He Tweets crap out and it’ll be either like shilling for the stock or trying to drive it down.  After he bought in he tweeted about engagement being down.  Sure would seem like tampering from a board member

            If Musk takes a seat on the BOD he is restricted (15%) on the amount of stock he may buy. Not taking the seat he can buy more than the restriction giving him the opportunity as a major shareholder and possibility for a takeover.

                  [b]Trump Will Partially Restrict Himself from Twitter:[/b]

                  President Trump plans to partially restrict himself from using Twitter, according to a new federal securities filing from the blank check company taking his social network, Truth Social, public, Axios reports.

                  From the filing: President Trump is generally obligated to make any social media post on TruthSocial and may not make the same post on another social media site for 6 hours. Thereafter, he is free to post on any site to which he has access. Thus, TMTG has limited time to benefit from his posts and followers may not find it compelling to use TruthSocial to read his posts that quickly.

                  In addition, he may make a post from a personal account related to political messaging, political fundraising or get-out-the-vote efforts on any social media site at any time.

    As flagged by [link=https://twitter.com/MattGoldstein26/status/1541368533149515777]New York Times business reporter Matthew Goldstein[/link], Digital World Acquisition said in a recent 8-K filing that earlier this month it “became aware that a federal grand jury sitting in the Southern District of New York has issued subpoenas to each member of Digital Worlds board of directors.”
     
    The filing went on to state that the subpoenas are seeking “requests relating to Digital Worlds S-1 filings, communications with or about multiple individuals, and information regarding Rocket One Capital,” a Miami-based hedge fund.
     
    The filing warns that these grand jury subpoenas “could materially delay, materially impede, or prevent the consummation” of the merger that’s needed to fund Truth Social.

    According to a [link=https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/redirect-to/?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Ftsdr.uspto.gov%2Fdocumentviewer%3FcaseId%3Dsn97072472%26docId%3DOOA20220802140346%23docIndex%3D0%26page%3D1]filing[/link] released this month and [link=https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/redirect-to/?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FJoshGerben%2Fstatus%2F1562820237216870405%3Fs%3D20%26t%3DWQNR2YchvoLW_HMqz18tdQ]tweeted[/link] by Josh Gerben, a trademark lawyer, Trump’s social media app had its application refused by the US Patent and Trademark Office because its name bore too much resemblance to the names of other business entities.

    [h1]Deal partner for Trump’s Truth Social fails to get backing for SPAC extension -sources[/h1]

    The blank-check acquisition firm that agreed to merge with Donald Trump’s social media company failed to secure enough shareholder support for a one-year extension to complete the deal, people familiar with the matter said on Monday.
     
    At stake is a $1.3 billion cash infusion that Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), which operates the former U.S. president’s Truth Social app, stands to receive from Digital World Acquisition Corp [link=https://www.reuters.com/companies/DWAC.O](DWAC.O)[/link], the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that inked a deal last October to take TMTG public.

    The transaction has been on ice amid civil and criminal probes into the circumstances around the deal. Digital World had been hoping that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which is reviewing its disclosures on the deal, would have given its blessing by now for the transaction to proceed.

      No. That not how those deals work. The SPAC raised a bunch of money on the idea it would identify and purchase a private company during a specified time frame and take it public. Saves IPO costs for the company. That SPAC chose TMTG as the one. That deal they signed was for that amount. Looks like the money wont go to TMGT.

          The change from a Miami office building to a UPS address came with DWAC’s regulatory filing on Friday disclosing that some investors pulled out tens of millions of dollars.

          The company said it had lost $138.5 million of the $1 billion in financing from private investors in public equity, also known as PIPE, to fund Trump Media after the merger. The contractual obligation for those investors to contribute to former President Donald Trump’s media company after the deal had expired last Tuesday, allowing them to pull their funding.

He shared a cache of internal documents with The Post and federal investigators that he says support his claims.[/h2]  
     

     
    Wilkerson, who was fired from his job Thursday as a senior vice president of operations at the company after he spoke to The Post, filed the whistleblower [link=https://docs-cdn-prod.news-engineering.aws.wapo.pub/publish_document/5c2a8163-b9f6-44e5-b2ba-16362ac79eea/published/5c2a8163-b9f6-44e5-b2ba-16362ac79eea.pdf]complaint [/link]with the SEC in August. The complaint, drafted by Wilkersons attorneys, alleges[b] [/b]that the companys bid to raise money via an investment vehicle known as a [link=https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/10/22/donald-trump-spac-truth-social/?itid=lk_inline_manual_16]special purpose acquisition company[/link], or SPAC, relied on fraudulent misrepresentations in violation of federal securities laws.
     

    Wilkerson is cooperating with [link=https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/12/06/trump-space-sec-investigation/?itid=lk_inline_manual_21]investigations[/link] into Trump Media by the SEC and federal prosecutors from the Southern District of New York, said his attorneys, Phil Brewster, Patrick Mincey and Stephen Bell. Among the materials he filed with the SECs whistleblower office is a detailed, day-to-day computer log compiled by company co-founder Wes Moss, Litinsky and Wilkerson about their daily company-related activities.
     

    He also provided to The Post a copy of that log as well as numerous other memos, photographs and videos that chronicled the creation of Trump Media. All of the materials Wilkerson shared with The Post were previously provided to government investigators, his attorneys said.

      I’m not sure it matters much if he’s back on Twitter. There’s a ton of accounts that are anti-Trump style that just watch his Truth social and re-post screen shots.  So the same BS content ends up on Twitter anyway.  IMO if everyone just ignored him and stopped re-posting his garbage Twitter would be better off.

    BREAKING: Trump Media, the parent company of Truth Social, is reportedly under FEDERAL INVESTIGATION for money laundering in connection to two payments made to them, totaling $8 MILLION from entities reportedly controlled by allies of Vladimir Putin.

    Details:

    – In December 2021, Trump Media received an initial payment of $2 million at a critical moment when the company faced imminent collapse. The payment arrived amidst a tumultuous period in which the planned merger with a public company was delayed due to an SEC investigation

    – Two months later, Trump Media’s account received a second payment of $6 million from ES Family Trust, as evidenced by a transfer receipt.

    – One of the payments was tracked to Anton Postolnikov, who appears to have a relation of Putin ally Aleksandr Smirnov. The other payment was also tracked to a Putin-connected ally through Paxum Bank.

    – Prosecutors seem to have displayed particular concern regarding the aforementioned payments, given that Paxum Bank, the offshore financial institution involved, has a track record of catering to the needs of the adult entertainment and SEX WORKER sectors.

    According to the lawsuit, the [i]Post[/i] published an egregious hit piece that falsely accused TMTG of securities fraud and other wrongdoing and has been on a years-long crusade against TMTG characterized by the concealment of relevant information in its possession.
     
    Further, it says: WaPos false criminal charges exposed TMTG to public ridicule, contempt and distrust, and injured TMTGs business and reputation.

      Was it followed by an email blast to raise/grift money for his legal defense?  Generally going to assume the WaPo can back up whatever they wrote.  Perhaps more sanctions are in order for whichever Trump lawyers are filing the lawsuit.
