Truth Social Executives Embroiled in Corporate Coup and Hacking Allegations

A lawsuit reveals a complex dispute involving unauthorized access to electronic accounts and a power struggle within Trump Media & Technology Group.

A lawsuit filed in the Southern District of Florida accuses Eric Swider, a board member of Trump Media, of hacking and attempting a corporate coup to oust former CEO Patrick Orlando.
The conflict began after Swider replaced Orlando as CEO of Digital World Acquisition Corp, which recently merged with Trump Media to take Truth Social public.
Swider allegedly enlisted the help of Orlando’s former assistant to gain unauthorized access to Orlando's confidential electronic files.
The lawsuit claims the stolen information was used to undermine Orlando and influence stakeholders within the newly public company.
This legal battle adds to a series of controversies and financial scrutiny surrounding Truth Social and its parent company, Trump Media.
