Shareholders are scheduled to vote Friday on whether blank check company Digital World Acquisition Corp. can proceed with taking Trump Media & Technology Group, which runs the Truth Social platform, public. If the long-delayed deal is approved, a number of insiders, from management to sponsors, and even former associates who sued to stall or block the deal, stand to pocket millions of dollars.
