The former CEO in question appears to be Patrick Orlando. He was the CEO of Digital World Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), which recently merged with Trump Media & Technology Group to create a new social media platform. Prior to this, Orlando led an electric vehicle company Ideanomics, Inc., which was accused of fraudulent operations in a class-action lawsuit. The lawsuit alleged that Ideanomics misled investors about its business operations and financial health. However, it’s important to note that these are accusations and may not necessarily reflect the current situation with the Trump Media & Technology Group.
