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.

At least part of the #evidence against Shvartsman came from a CI for DHS, court filings show: in one March 2023 meeting w/the informant & an associate, Shvartsman mentioned a friend who owned a bank in Dominica & made bridge loans to #Trump Media.
“[#MichaelShvartsman stated a friend of his owns a bank in the island of Dominica & would be able to provide #banking services to #Russia & #Ukraine Nationals if the [CI] had other clients in need of that service,” the DHS rpt said.
“[Shvartsman’s assoc] told the [CI] that he does not think the #SEC [could] go after [Shvartsman] for his part…but mentioned that [Shvartsman] essentially provided ‘#BridgeFinancing’ for the firm behind… #TruthSocial….”
