Truth Social owner asks Congress to investigate ‘potential manipulation’ of share price

thehill.com/business/4617730-truth-social-owner-asks-congress-to-investigate-potential-manipulation-of-share-price/

Quick Glance: Trump Media Seeks Congressional Probe on 'Troubling' Market Manipulation Claims

Trump Media & Technology Group is asking Congress to investigate suspicions of illegal activity affecting its stock price.

In a disclosed letter, Devin Nunes, the CEO of Truth Social owner Trump Media, urged GOP Chairmen of relevant House Committees to examine the 'urgent matter' of 'potential manipulation' of the company's stock price.

Trump Media recently reported a $58 million loss in 2023 with minimal revenue. The company's price-to-sales ratio, a common stock valuation method, is notably high compared to competitors in the social media sector.

In the communication to Congress, Trump Media highlighted that data suggests 'just four market participants' accounted for over 60% of the exceptional trading volume in the company's stock: Citadel Securities, Virtu Americas, G1 Execution Services, and Jane Street Capital.

FTC is sued by business groups over its ban on noncompete agreements, which may delay enforcement

cnn.com/2024/04/25/success/ftc-noncompete-ban-lawsuit/

Quick Glance: US implements ban on worker 'competition agreements' with business groups filing lawsuits

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has approved a framework to eliminate agreements often signed by employees to refrain from joining their employers' competitors or establishing rival businesses.

The ban on noncompete agreements is projected to boost worker earnings by up to $488 billion over the next decade and facilitate the establishment of over 8,500 new businesses annually.

Prominent business associations have criticized the framework and declared legal actions, contending that noncompete agreements assist companies in safeguarding trade secrets and advancing competitiveness.

Unions have endorsed the FTC's vote in favor of the ban, hailing it as a significant triumph for workers that will enhance the national economy by fostering entrepreneurship.

Grand jury indicts fake electors who falsely certified Donald Trump as 2020 winner in Arizona

azcentral.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/04/24/arizona-fake-electors-indictments/73184206007/

Quick Glance: 11 Republican 'Fake Electors' Charged in Arizona

Eleven Republicans were charged in Arizona for falsely claiming that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election in Arizona against Joe Biden.

They met in Phoenix to sign a certificate declaring Trump had won the state. The document was sent to Congress and the National Archives but ignored.

The Arizona charges follow indictments against fake electors in Nevada, Michigan, and Georgia.

The charges allege conspiracy, fraud, and forgery as they falsely declared Trump as the winner in Arizona despite Biden's victory by over 10,000 votes.

Quick Glance: TikTok Ban Threat: ByteDance Prefers Closure Over Sale, Insiders Say

ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, would prefer to shut down its loss-making app rather than sell it if all legal options to fight legislation to ban the platform from app stores in the US are exhausted, said four sources.

TikTok accounts for a small share of ByteDance’s total revenues and daily active users, so the parent would rather have the app shut down in the US in a worst-case scenario than sell it to a potential American buyer, they said.

ByteDance would not agree to sell one of its most valuable assets – its “secret source” – to rivals, said the four sources, referring to the TikTok algorithm.

After facing challenges regarding bans, the short-form video app has encountered partial and attempted prohibitions in the US and other nations.
