People are treating the "dump" part of a "Pump and Dump" like it's some kind of a vindication, when suckers were already fully fleeced back at its $7B market cap peak.

It's a Mastodon instance with a few thousand users trading at $16/share. Absolutely insane that anyone was buying this garbage at any price.

It matters because Trump becomes free to sell his shares on September 19 (a week from today). I, for one, am hoping that the price goes to $0 and it gets delisted by then!

He's been able to borrow against them for some time. Someone is already holding the bag.

If he floods the market with shares, I wouldn’t be surprised if the price craters so hard it gets delisted.

Brainwashed uninformed people trying to show off to their friends how they are the biggest trump supporters ever.
