Three of Donald Trump’s investors arrested
While the former guy is awaiting more potential charges on top of the ones Jack Smith already dropped, and by more we mean 30-45 more that may still land, and yet another potential indictment in Georgia, where prosecutors may be building a RICO case against him, Donald Trump has yet another problem hitting him at the worst possible time.
This one isn’t about Jan 6 or the classified documents scandal, both of which have massive implications on their own, and it doesn’t even concern him directly – it’s about Truth Social, his social media platform, which was pretty much always the endgame of his whole involvement in politics.
Three of Truth Social’s investors have been arrested for insider trading – as they purchased shares in the company Digital World Acquisition after learning that it was planning to buy Trump Media & Technology Group. Truth Social has been an embarrassment of a platform from the beginning, and we’re not quite sure what practical purpose it serves even for right-wingers now that Elon Musk has taken over Twitter and pandered to conservatives with it as much as humanly possible.
Now we probably have our answer – it was just about Trump’s people making money – in one of the stupidest ways possible. The question, however, is whether this case could bleed over into the other criminal charges Donald Trump is looking at right now, as anyone associated with him is probably not willing to go down for him.
