#Trump’s #SocialMedia company #TrumpMedia went public last week only after it had been kept afloat in 2022 by emergency #loans from a #trust managed by a #Russian-American businessman under scrutiny in a federal #InsiderTrading & #MoneyLaundering #criminal investigation.

Trump stands to gain billions… from the merger between TrumpMedia & Tech & the blank-check co [#SPAC] #DWAC, which took the parent company of #TruthSocial public.

#Postolnikov has been under increasing scrutiny in the #criminal investigation into the #TrumpMedia merger. Most recently, he has been listed on #SearchWarrant #affidavits alongside several asscs – one of whom was #indicted last month for #MoneyLaundering on top of earlier #InsiderTrading charges.

#ESFamilyTrust was established on 18 May 2021, creation papers show. Postolnikov’s “user” access to the acct was “verified” on 30 Nov 2021 by a #PaxumBank mgr in Dominica.
