Trump supporters could lose 'millions' as shell company trying to acquire Truth Social faces liquidation
On Thursday, Matthew Sheffield of The Young Turks reported that supporters of former President Donald Trump are facing the prospect of collectively losing millions of dollars they invested into Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC), the special purpose acquisition company, or "blank check" firm that has sought to purchase the former president's Truth Social platform to take it public, as DWAC faces its liquidation deadline with little progress on completing the deal.
"In a call with investors, Patrick Orlando, the chairman and CEO of the struggling shell company announced that DWAC was going to reconvene on Nov. 22," said the report. "It was an ominous sign that Digital World had failed to receive authorization from 65% of shareholders to continue the companys existence, despite months of trying. Under the terms of DWACs incorporation, the company was supposed to merge with a private firm within one years time or dissolve and reimburse its investors at a rate of about $10 per share."

According to the report, many Trump supporters are set to take a haircut after purchasing DWAC at $90 a share.

The marks bought in at $90 a share and only one year later they have no choice but to get $10 a share buyout. What a bargain

Hence, I figured he invested next to nothing.

Don't fret, suckers, you've been conned by one of the best. They don't call the Orange Maniac "King Con" for nothing!
