A lot of people did lose money.
There is this screenshot too (with NSFW language, under this spoiler) from 4chan about a guy that did lose money
No sympathy for that dumbass.
The answer: Stop supporting the Republican Party. The only reasonable answer.
I'd say they should double down and lose everything.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Investors voted Tuesday to give the blank check company attempting to take Truth Social public another year to finalize its merger with former President Trump’s media startup, according to reports.
Shareholders in Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC) granted the company a 12-month extension to close the deal with Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), just days before its Sept. 8 merger deadline, Axios reported.
If the extension vote had failed, DWAC would have been required to liquidate and return the $300 million it raised to shareholders, according to Reuters.
“Thank you for all of the outstanding support,” DWAC CEO Eric Swider said in a Truth Social post Tuesday.
The merger between DWAC and Truth Social’s parent company has been troubled.
The Justice Department announced charges against a former DWAC board member and two others in June for insider trading related to the merger, and the company agreed to pay an $18 million fine to settle fraud charges with the Securities and Exchange Commission in July.
The original article contains 203 words, the summary contains 165 words. Saved 19%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I used to work for a wealth management firm who got pre-IPO shares of DWAC. Even with the lockup period, anyone who bought those shares made an incredible amount of money. To anyone who invested at or after the IPO…they’ve lost quite a bit. Just goes to show that being good at investing boils down to having lots of money and knowing the right people. Basically the rich get richer with absolutely no risk while the average person gets fucked to line their pockets.
