This is literally just a loophole to allow foreign governments to give Trump boatloads of cash. Instead of giving him explicit gifts, you prop up the price of his worthless company's shares
Trump can't cash out shares for 6 months. So now they have to keep the price inflated for 6 months.
Could be some folks find value in social media for a group preselected for gullibility.
Unless they're just unloading their shares onto Rubes. In which case, they only need other people to buy-and-hold at the inflated rate.
This is not aimed at you or anyone particular just my thoughts, but it's amazing how uneducated people are when it comes to finance. I know I am, and every day I learn a little more of how gullible I've been. I did live on the streets selling drugs though, and once you see how that game is played, you see how every fucking game is played. You do this and he does that and they do this and that for you and we all come out on top, right? Throw a couple of million dollar lawyers, accountants, legal experts, think tanks, connections to the monetary and industrial elite of the world, and stack the SEC with 92% former and future employees of yours, and suddenly the game makes sense without any need to get the academics.
It's not about the math, it's about who you know.
If anyone is skeptical then remember exactly what Clump was convicted of and what his punishment was.
Now he's crowdfunding that punishment away, and people think that somehow it's impossible that it's a scam because of financial regulations? Bruhs..
Except he can sell sooner, if certain steps are taken. Or so it has been widely reported.
But which governments, though? Which one, there are so many... I can't think of a single one that would be motivated to influence US politics and do something so blatantly anti-democratic.
