Like I said that's their problem. The only thing at issue here it seems to me is whether the new Trump shares will factor into the issuance of an appeal bond before 'sundown' MON.

Well that's their problem. Once the merger is complete, Digital World’s roughly 400,000 shareholders — most of them individual investors — will become stockholders of Trump Media. And many of Digital World’s shareholders have long been boosters of the stock — and Mr. Trump — on Truth Social. Beginning in January, as Mr. Trump got closer to securing the Republican nomination and as the deal’s likelihood of approval grew stronger, shares of Digital World soared, rising more than 140 percent this year, making the former president’s stake ever more valuable. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/21/business/trump-truth-social-merger.html

Maybe. But it hasn't escaped the SEC's attention: Investors greenlight Trump’s $5.7 billion Truth Social deal March 23, 202410:59 PM GMT+7Updated 9 hours ago https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/investors-greenlight-trumps-6-billion-social-media-deal-2024-03-22/ Since 2021, the deal has faced setbacks and delays. Digital World has been a target of investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), ousted Orlando as its chief executive, and shook up its board. In July, Digital World reached an $18-million settlement with the SEC, which said Digital World misled investors by failing to disclose in filings that it had formulated a plan to acquire TMTG and was pursuing the acquisition before Digital World’s initial public offering.

Thank you. If so, I am not surprised as so many on these topics make statements that, if they were familiar with the docket, they would know that it just isn't so.

Thank you. I try to at least be familiar with the court docket before posting. It does take some effort. I thought that Hope springs eternal was already trademarked and yours was Justice delayed ...

I'm just doing the play-by-play. You can do the colo(u)r commentary. I have read he Trump appeal docs and the reply from DA 'Tish' James office. But over the past 15 years or so of some involvement I am not in any position to comment on outcomes of appeals -- I've been more often a supporter of the losing side but not always.

You can't wait? Trump filed its reply Memo of Law 18 March 2024. Per your transcript above: ... but even Monday, you know, that's just something to watch.

I watched the above video and Ms. Sue Craig, the NY Times investigative reporter said that the NY State appeals court could also issue its ruling by sundown Monday.

Only social media. Search Jay Kuo, a reliable poster. Mr. Trump could also obtain the board’s blessing to transfer his shares into a trust, or give them to a family member as a gift. By placing them in a trust, Mr. Trump would be able to use the shares as collateral for a loan; a family member, too, could borrow against those shares. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/21/business/trump-truth-social-merger.html

Inside Garland’s Effort to Prosecute Trump In trying to avoid even the smallest mistakes, Attorney General Merrick B. Garland might have made one big one: ending up in a race against the clock. March 22, 2024 In trying to avoid even the smallest mistakes, Mr. Garland might have made one big one: not recognizing that he could end up racing the clock. Like much of the political world and official Washington, he and his team did not count on Mr. Trump’s political resurrection after Jan. 6, and his fast victory in the 2024 Republican presidential primary, which has complicated the prosecution and given the former president leverage in court. In 2021 it was “simply inconceivable,” said one former Justice Department official, that Mr. Trump, rebuked by many in his own party and exiled at his Florida estate Mar-a-Lago, would regain the power to impose his timetable on the investigation. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/22/us/politics/trump-jan-6-merrick-garland.html

OOPS 2x.

No, I simply read your posts and draw my own conclusions. The typical American would say Kate and William who? Sunak who? Is NHS the Japan broadcasting system? And virtually no American would know what is Northern Soul as in your prior avatar. I simply read your posts and draw my own conclusions that, for my practical purposes, you are not an American. And I don't buy your man-of-mystery routine.

That's Ok. You coulda just said it is click bait from the beleaguered NY Times for the "Oh no he's gonna get away with it all crowd" on a slow news day.

A Little-Known Way That Trump Could Raise Money to Pay His Legal Bills The former president’s social media company is finally set to go public. Mr. Trump could borrow against the value of his stake in the company. March 21, 2024, 2:41 p.m. ET via NY Times Shares of former President Donald J. Trump’s social media company could start trading on the stock market as early as Monday, immediately raising his net worth by around $3 billion — wealth that Mr. Trump may be able to tap to pay his mounting legal bills as he seeks a second presidential term. <SKIP> Mr. Trump could also obtain the board’s blessing to transfer his shares into a trust, or give them to a family member as a gift.

The late Chris Farley mock interviews Paul McCartney on SNL: Chris Farley: Right. I think we.. I think we got time for one more question. Uh.. remember when you were in The Beatles? And, um, you did that album Abbey Road, and at the very end of the song, it would.. the song goes, “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make”? You.. you remember that? Paul McCartney: Yes. Chris Farley: Uh.. is that true? Paul McCartney: Yes, Chris. In my experience, it is. I find, the more you give, the more you get. https://snltranscripts.jt.org/92/92mfarley.phtml

You can draw whatever you want. I'll just keep listening to my favorite Northern Soul video.

So I am MAGA double agent, huh? As the old New York saying goes (and Judge Engoron is a native New Yorker): Your opinion and a subway token gets you a ride.

I'm not getting into debating appellate court stuff.

I voted against Trump twice in 2016 and 2020 in Florida. Who did you vote for?

The attorney general's office argued that the law at issue does not require the existence of victims to be enforceable. They also disputed the notion that there were no victims, saying Trump's bankers were harmed because they could have charged higher interest on loans if they knew his true net worth was lower than he claimed. Trump's claim that there were no obvious victims, while not helpful for him when presented to Justice Arthur Engoron during the trial, could be a matter of concern for appellate judges. https://www.reuters.com/legal/trumps-civil-fraud-verdict-appeal-may-hinge-no-victims-defense-2024-02-16/

Agreed.

Fine. But as of today he is a private citizen not President.
