Truth Social Depends On Sketchy Russian Loans Because Of Course

You'll never guess who is bankrolling the utterly worthless Truth Social.

Oh, you guessed money laundering Russians? Yeah it IS TOO EASY. The Guardian got to the story first:

Donald Trump’s social media company Trump Media managed to go public last week only after it had been kept afloat in 2022 by emergency loans provided in part by a Russian-American businessman under scrutiny in a federal insider-trading and money-laundering investigation... Through leaked documents, the Guardian has learned that ES Family Trust operated like a shell company for a Russian-American businessman named Anton Postolnikov, who co-owns Paxum Bank and has been a subject of a years-long joint federal criminal investigation by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) into the Trump Media merger.

Postolnikov came under investigation when his "friend" was found insider trading... no fair guessing! Trump Media shares.

Guardian reporter Hugo Lowell talked about the money laundering with Morning Joe on March 15, 2023 (above). What is new today is the documentation of it. (h/t Heather for the video)
