Co-founder of Trump’s media company details Truth Social’s bitter infighting
Washington Compost ^

Posted on 10/15/2022 2:43:31 PM PDT by GulliverSwift

Will Wilkerson, then an executive at former president Donald Trump’s start-up Trump Media & Technology Group, was at a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., coffee shop with company co-founder Andy Litinsky last October when Trump called Litinsky with a question: Would he give up some of his shares to Trump’s wife, Melania?

...Litinsky tried to brush it off, telling Trump “the gift would have meant a huge tax bill he couldn’t pay,” Wilkerson said in an interview. “Trump didn’t care. He said, ‘Do whatever you need to do.’ ”

Five months later, Litinsky, who first met Trump in 2004 as a contestant on the TV show “The Apprentice,” was abruptly removed from the company’s board.

This is a long article with some new allegations about Melania, Don Jr. and Eric wanting to take away others' equity instead of DJT just splitting his own.

But there is a buried quote that is important on how the SEC investigation is likely to go nowhere:

"Michael Ohlrogge, a New York University law professor, said the failure to tell investors could violate the SEC’s rules against material misstatements and omissions, but that there can be gray areas in instances where a sponsor runs multiple SPACs and targets a company with one SPAC after having seriously considered it with another. For example, in one instance involving a maritime shipping company, he said, the SEC halted its review of the SPAC’s filings but eventually allowed the merger to proceed."

They finally got the Android app into Google as well. Apparently they had to agree to some censorship policies to do so.

Have to wonder if Trump is getting cold fee now that Elon said he could come back to Twitter.

Oh look - more Washington compost fodder to feed the New York attorneys allegation that Trump is corrupt.

Pure propaganda by paid for testimonies.

Remember Vindmann— “That’s Lt. Col. Vindmann.. to you...” in “impeachment” for a phone call exposing the Coup implanted president of Ukraine Zelinskyy who is now the expanded FUNNEL of billions of US dollars down a rat hole of 10% kickback money to rinos,dnc/demos and all within the ever widening mil-industrial cash in cash out system of the most corrupt country in the world. Ukraine.

Vindmann and his twin and his older (Mossad) brother— in middle eastern “investments”.

Will wilkinson is something one scrapes off a shoe— and this is a derp state yet again trashing Trump op.
Trump will be on Truth Social and Twitter— no problem with any of it, and it scares these morons even more.

None of this could possibly be true.

Trump (PBUH) can do no wrong. He is honest and faithful.

GOOD!
All tech startups have some infighting.
This clown need to read about when Tesla or PayPal were founded.
Musk ended up getting sacked from PayPal and the original founder of Tesla was sacked as well because of infighting and disagreements.
Nothing new here.

exactly right. and they’re all like demons that need to be destroyed and we can do it. These types are planted everywhere and we’re called to stand up to them, expose them and fight back against the wicked powers that run their shows.

I would give them a listen. There is usually a kernel of truth deep down in there.

I would not dismiss information because it doesn’t meet my narrow version of the truth. That’s how one learns in life.

Trump has had a lot of bad hair days. Just like Romney. Two bad hair guys who are more liberal than they are conservative and both run-of-the-mill liars and political whores. Either will say anything to get ahead. Just working the system the only way they know how. Charlatans.

So a discredited, dying, Leftist, Trump-hating, fake media rag decides to do a hit piece about Trump's new social media site by interviewing a disgruntled ex-employee that was FIRED from the company by Trump...

One does not need to be Nostradamus to predict the outcome of that hit-piece.

I wouldn't.
Not in a highly politicized “attack President Trump” atmosphere.
I'd treat him just like Stormy Daniels who lied constantly to get fame and attack President Trump.

There is NO way DJT goes on Twitter again. First, he has a successful, viable company that does exactly the same thing. Why in the world would he dilute his own value by giving time and attention to twit? That would be like you owning a trucking company and you drive a competitor’s truck around town.

Second, Elon is not going to buy twit. This whole thing is going to fall apart at the seams sooner than later. In fact, the purchase is currently off as twit doesn’t want to honor EM’s latest proposal
