I've been following this shitshow for quite a while now. I never believed the merger would actually happen until it did, and I still think the SEC never should have given the green light for it.
I wrote about the link between TMTG and Paxum Bank back in October 2023:
"In 2022, the Southern District of New York investigated TMTG for money laundering, after finding it received a $8 million in loans: $2 million from Paxum Bank, based in Dominica and chartered under the Offshore Banking Act No. 8 of 1996. Paxum is partially owned by a former Russian government official who now runs a maritime agency under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation. The other $6 million came from “ES Family Trust” which shared a director with Paxum."
