Two former contestants on “The Apprentice” who went on to co-found the Trump Media group that recently went public have amended an ongoing lawsuit against gameshow host and presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, the Daily Beast reports.
Andy Litinsky and Wes Moss already claim that Trump diluted the value of their shares by issuing one billion shares of the company, not the 120 million initially discussed, thereby making their combined 8.6% share of a worthless company more worthlesser.
Now, however, the pair want permission to dump the shares in question now, while the stock price has steadily dropped and closed Tuesday at around $37. The pair altered their lawsuit to include a claim that Trump imposed a six-month lockout on their ability to sell their shares as a punishment for falling out with Trump. If found credible by a court, the pair could be released from the lockout.
