The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Two investors in Trump Media insider trading case plead guilty

That didn't take long, did it? Those charges were filed in June of 2023.

I've been digging into this after this initial post from ges and no matter how corrupt you think this entire TMTG+DWAC SPAC affair has been, you'd be wrong. It's corrupter... LOL.

More to come but this Michael Shvartsman feller alone netted $18 million when he dumped his shares of DWAC immediately after the deal for DWAC to merge with TMTG was announced in October 2021. That brought him into the sights of the FBI and SEC along with Anton Postolnikov, who dumped his shares at the same time and pocketed $22 million. Of course, Postolnikov later funneled more money into TMTG to keep the shell afloat from an account in a bank he owns linked to a trust which was created by a lawyer residing in St. Petersburg, Russia.

And somehow, DHS is involved with these investigations so it seems clear the feds have linked these actors to international money laundering and probably things like arms trafficking. (I don't think DOJ requires DHS help for mere money laundering cases, even if international in nature.)


WTH
