they did but they didn't. it wuz a clerical, filing error as far as DJT is concerned. they actually shorted 1,200 shares---not 12,000,000. Corrected filings have been made. Furthermore the short was as of 6-28-24--not the day before. who knew? roflol

ps--kicks the crap out of a great new conspiracy theory dontit?

APW got blowback and posted on its website a notice that there was an error in its filing. Short was said to be a small fraction of that.

NOTICE:Statement on Incorrect Filing with the SEC7/17/2024The SEC filing which showed that Austin Private Wealth shorted a large number of shares of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp (DJT) was incorrect and we immediately amended it as soon as we learned of the error.

No client of APW holds, or has ever held, a put on DJT in the quantity initially reported. The correct holding amount was 12 contracts, or 1,200 shares — not 12 million shares, as was filed in error. In submitting the required report for the second quarter of 2024, a multiplier was applied by a third-party vendor that increased the number of the shares by a multiple of 10,000 for all options contracts (not just DJT). We did not catch the error before approving the filing.

We filed the report on July 12 to reflect our positions on June 28. We amended it on July 16.

We deeply regret this error and the concern it has caused, especially at such a fraught moment for our nation. We are committed to full transparency and maintaining the trust of our clients. As such, we are reviewing our internal procedures and our processes with the third-party vendor that assists with SEC filings to better understand how this happened and avoid similar issues moving forward.
