@th3j35t3r Trump's pump and dump scheme was solid, in a way, betting on the gullible maga minions investing their retirement money. Many speculators made millions in just a few days.
Where he went wrong was thinking he could keep up the scam for the 6 months required to unload his own shares.
I think he thought he would be able to get the board to vote on an early dump for him. But are we sure that those people who made millions in the first few days were not fronting for him? I hope somebody is doing some good sleuthing work on that possibility.
@elbutterfield @th3j35t3r Good point. I saw an article that interviewed a couple of the speculators who weren't MAGAs but correctly predicted how MAGAs would be swindled, and got in first to grab what they could. Yet some/many of them could be Trump fronts.
The whole scheme seems set up to allow foreign interests to launder campaign contributions through the meme stock.
