SDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 21 – With Mark Russell off the stand, the Trevor Milton trial devolved into questioning of the social media manager Stephanie Amzallag.
Had she praised Milton on Tesla Charts? She called Tesla Charts a "pro Tesla podcast," and when Kurt tweeted that, insiders responded with LOL, even LMFO. The write-ups of the day that appeared nearly all had the same headline, Milton violated Nikola's social media policy.
After the trial day, Ken Caruso put in a letter trying to exclude retail investors. It was ironic, or sleazy, because Milton had targeted the Robinhood crowd. But it was a defendant's right.
With the trial knocking off at 2:30, Kurt rushed and headed to Brooklyn for Day 1 of the US v. Tom Barrack trial, on charges of illegal lobbying for the UAE.
Unlike at SDNY he couldn't - yet? - take his phone in, instead leaving it with the Court Security Officer in the lobby. The clerk then D.E. said they were looking into this bid to change that. But when?
Others in the overflow room were typing away. But they did not seem to be live tweeting it, and some who'd covered Barrack jury selection were absent for the opening arguments.
It was Trump day in New York, with Tish James holding a press conference about Trump's overvalued real estate (but not charging Deutsche Bank).
At the UN, Biden gave a speech, then Zelenskyy by video. Kurt would wait to write that up.
Because his priority now was finding a way to write up information from a Nikola whistleblower, without it being traceable. More on Patreon here.
