There were a couple of pretty big news stories on the corruption front yesterday. In the first, BF Borgers, which is the accountant for Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), was charged by the SEC with fraud and with running a "sham audit" operation. The firm will no longer be allowed to represent clients before the agency, which means that TMTG and many other companies will be required to find a new accountant.
There is no indication, at this point, that TMTG played any role in the illegal behavior. That's actually kind of surprising. It also boggles the mind the extent to which Trump is a walking corruption magnet. It's like flies to... well, you know. For any normal company, this sort of misstep would rattle shareholders, and would lead to a decline in share price. But, thus far, TMTG continues to operate by rules outside the realm of mortal man (closing price Friday: $47.93, despite a report that "Truth" Social's user base continues to shrink). (Z)
