ChainCatcher news, according to Forbes, a new document from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission shows that Trump Media & Technology Group (the parent company of Truth Social) disclosed "significant deficiencies" in its financial reporting controls and acknowledged that its financial statements may be inaccurate.
The group announced its quarterly earnings on Friday, with net sales of $821,000, a net loss of $31.7 million, cash and short-term investments of $758.9 million, and debt of $9.8 million.
