A Florida venture capitalist and his brother moved Monday toward potential guilty pleas in an insider trading case connected to the merger that took Donald Trump's social media company public last week. A new court filing Monday revealed that a change of plea hearing for the brothers will be held Wednesday afternoon in U.S. District Court in Manhattan. Trump Media and Technology Group mentioned the case in a securities filing on Monday. As of late Monday, there was no change of plea hearing for him scheduled on the docket. They are accused of buying up DWAC stock based on nonpublic information that the shell company was considering a possible merger with Trump's social media company, Trump Media and Technology Group, which owns the Truth Social app.
