LITERARY SDNY,
Sept 22 – The US versus Trevor
Milton trial moved along.
There was a guy, Daman, from
General Motors who testified
that all of Milton's claims
about the Badger pick up truck
being made by Nikola were
lies.
Torrey
Young's cross examination
stress that Daman never met
Milton, and was only in his or
Nikola's Arizona facility for
less time than he spent on the
witness stand. So what?
There was
also a braggart professor from
USC, getting paid $850 an hour
by the taxpayers to talk about
Reddit, StockTwits and
Twitter. But the witness of
the day was a Robinhood day
trader in a wheelchair.
As Kurt tweeted
out his time on the stand,
admitting he did not read SEC
filings and couldn't remember
where he'd heard Millton's
claims, people relied that it
had been his fault. Maybe
that's why the prosecutors
chose an investor in a
wheelchair, as much as they
said they wouldn't bring it
up.
The
prosecutors were ham handed,
but Team Nikola or Trevor, it
wasn't clear, struck fear in
the hearts of whistleblowers.
Kurt had gone a first tranche
of information from one, and
publish it
anonymized.
He went to
the US v. Barrack trial in
Brooklyn, again the District
Executive's office - the clerk
kept citing "Michael"- had not
acted on his application to
bring his phone in. Inside
there was testimony about A
visas for UAE princes.
When Kurt
got out and got his phone,
still nothing from the D.E.
But he had a message to not
publish anymore. He vlogged
then headed back into
Manhattan. More on Patreon
