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 company’s existence, despite months of trying. Under the terms of DWAC’s incorporation, the company was supposed to merge with a private firm within one year’s 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

I thought the whole point of that venture was to raise capital he didn't have for his dumbass media company.
Hence, I figured he invested next to nothing.

Everything Trump promotes is a grift. He does not have their best interests in mind.

My day has been a little messed up in a few different ways, but I'm feeling better now

Warms my heart whenever a Trumper gets fleeced, especially when they know they've been fleeced

$80 per share lost. Good work

The Trump family has squeezed every nickel they can out of it, now everyone else will take a bath. 🤣

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