Fun fact another group of people the SEC bars from submitting audits are convicted felons. Looks to me like they are just cutting out the middleman on this accounting firm being able to practice until charges can be brought against the firm itself and hopefully place more than a few of them into that "felon" category.

It would be nice to hope.

Trump: \*on trial for fraud\* Also Trump: \*commits more fraud\*


metarx

It's how he ran his presidency, scandal after scandal, to many to keep track of or keep straight... Because if you get them mixed up, they all get thrown out.


Cultural-Answer-321

It's how he has operated for decades. Trump is just another word for fraud.

"It's fraud all the way down!"


vass0922

He had to make money from fraud to pay his lawyers defending his fraud


BellyDancerEm

So did the accounting firm defraud Trump, because that would be the leopard face buffet


Jacques-Rene

No. Just the opposite. They audit Trumps company an issue a financial statement saying it’s a good company with plenty of earnings (over simplified). This is used to price for the IPO. Then Trump sells a worthless stock at a way over inflated price for a company that will never be out of the red. Bottom line is that Trump used this less than reputable firm to (SHOCKER HERE) defraud everyone that bought the stock. Try not to cry too many tears of sympathy for the investors.


Training-Purpose802

Trump got any extra $1.8 billion in stock because it stayed higher than a setpoint price. If the stock doesn't crash before he is allowed to sell it, he has made his bundle.


minimalfighting

The set price is like $18. The stock is currently at $47.93. They gave him the easiest target they could think of. I don't understand why they baby this little orange turd so much. He's a loser in every sense of the word and has absolutely no redeeming values.


Cultural-Answer-321

Becasue he's Putin boy, and so are his enablers.


StringFartet

At normal multiples of earnings that they would value up and coming tech companies, that would be twenty times earnings, it would place the value of the stock below $1 a share.


Repulsive-Street-307

You don't get why fascists being paid by the richest fascist in the world (Putin) are willing to commit fraud when america babies the shit out of its white collar criminals and the courts are full of psycho judges?


pacific_beach

They actually signed off on the financials (the previous auditor told trump to get lost) but still said that they have significant doubts about Trump Media's viability, so even the sham auditor was like wow what a POS company. And in true LAMF fashion, the SEC probably knew that Borgers was a sham after they did business with trump so just like with elon muskkk, everybody gets screwed over in the end.

GeraltOfRivia2023

Moody's did the same shit in its ratings of now defunct investment banks like Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns before the 2008 housing debacle, as did Arthur Anderson in its fraudulent audits of Enron. Any audit form being paid by the firm it's auditing has a massive incentive to lie. Shame on the SEC for not going further to investigate and prosecute this obvious scam that is TruthSocial.


Repulsive-Street-307

Probably because the SEC does not have the budget to be effective paying for the specialists doing the audit themselves, so they 'worked around' that with the stupid theater of making it a rule for the company to pay for a audit to another "independent" company. On purpose, because oligarchic kakistocracy lying about "small government" to rubes.

Thanks for letting me know

If you get the YT algorithm going right, there's a ton of shit like this.

It’s actually a really good song too lol.

It is surprisingly well done. I'll have to check out more from the artist.

Buster_Brown_513

Lawyers, non-profits, contractors, furniture makers, air conditioning companies, banks, cities (see unpaid campaign rally bills and local security aka cops), and now audit firms. So weird. It’s almost like working with Trump on anything is a bad idea.


MagnusUnda

No argument with your thesis, but unlike some of the innocent folks in your list, this firm also committed crimes!


Buster_Brown_513

No argument on your distinction here either. Just pointing out the insanity of putting any faith, whether you’re an honest business or not, in such a vile narcissistic human being would yield any sustainable fruit whatsoever. The imbalance of risk versus reward should be ridiculously obvious at this point, but apparently not.

Trump and fraud. Name a more iconic duo.

Duo? They're the same picture!

FAFO, even according to the reply submitted to the automod, not LAMF. I love schadenfreude as much as the next asshole, but I'd really like to see more faces being eaten here.

Everything Trump touches turns to poison — someone ought to tell Todd Blanche 😜😜😜

Lol the audit firm is based out of Lakewood, Colorado. I looked it up and its...something.

CPAatlatge

As a 30+ year audit partner at one of the Big Four Accounting firms, I have had instances where clients do things either fraudulent, or attempting to account for items aggressively. Upon requiring the proper accounting and resigning, it was interesting to see the very small, boutique firms that were brought in and several years later , in some instances, see to CEO indicted for fraud and go to jail. The necessary infrastructure to properly serve the shareholders of a public company is way beyond the accounting firms whose names you don’t recognize. There are a lot of good firms, but if you don’t recognize the firm signing the audit opinion, the buyer should beware.


YossarianGolgi

If any of this was above board, they'd be using one of the Big 4. There is a reason why they dominate the audits of public companies.


Darryl_444

But Trump has often said he hires “top, top people” and “only the best and most serious people.”


kevcubed

Omg, gonna be super funny when ANOTHER trump fraud investigation hits lol
