@NickSortor
Nick, thank you for the work you do covering the stories that actually matter and for always standing up for everyday Americans. I’m a U.S. #Army#veteran and longtime follower. Right now there’s a quiet but devastating injustice being done to hundreds of veterans and disabled veterans whose retirement savings and investments have been frozen for over 3.5 years in the #MMTLP situation.
Many have lost homes, marriages, and years of their lives while waiting for answers that never come.
I wrote this open letter to @potus@whitehouse laying out exactly what’s happening and asking for the true audited share count and the release of the #FOIAs.
We would be so appreciative if you could assist to get the letter in front of the right people, it would mean more than I can say to the veterans still standing and waiting. @erictrump
Grateful for everything you do. God bless. #VeteransFirst

@POTUS this group deserves to know why this happened as share holders.
People have committed suicide because they they lost their future.
Thank you @DavidPollackUSA and @Beardvet for shining the light on this.
LISTEN UP $MMTLP COMMUNITY —
Folks in a totally different space are talking about MMTLP in detail. Not our usual crowd. New platforms. New ears.
They’re asking the hard questions and connecting the dots.
That’s your cue.
GET LOUDER.
Share the facts. Share the spaces. Don’t let this stay in our circle.
If outsiders can see it, the rest of the country can hear it.
Thank you @MrsPositive5 and @stockmom for highlighting this important story!!

Sean (@Beardvet) joined David Pollack (@DavidPollackUSA) on @OANN to discuss the ongoing $MMTLP situation.
During the segment, they broke down the regulatory controversy, FINRA’s trading halt, the @SECGov's lack of response to Next Bridge Hydrocarbons CEO Greg McCabe, and retail investors' ongoing push for market transparency and accountability from @POTUS.
Credit to @tx_jayjay for capturing the news clip.🇺🇸🫡👊
Later this evening I’ll be on @OANN with my Man, David Pollack, to talk about the MMTLP and Trump Media & Technology Group Scandal that left Veterans, Veterans Families and Thousands of Others Broken and Astonished the Biden SEC, FINRA and Congressional Reps Colluded to Bury the Scandal 👊🏼🇺🇸
Just about 2 months after @FINRA U3 halted MMTLP, harming thousands of investors, the @SECGov fined the OCC for failing to follow their own rules...
But FINRA didn't follow their own Rules!!!
FINRA is not allowed to change an issuer's Corporate Action but this is what FINRA did in the case of MMTLP.
Image 2 shows that the purpose of the MMTLP Corporate Action was to conduct a 1-for-1 "spin-off" on 12/14/22 (at the close of business) that would result in the automatic Share Cancellation of MMTLP (on 12/14/22 at the close of business).
Image 3 shows that both of FINRA's MMTLP Corporate Actions were focused on the zero hour of 12/13/22, THIS IS A DIFFERENCE OF 40 HOURS!
@TheJusticeDept
In addition to this, there was both pending adjudication from the SEC regarding the issuer, and an active blue sheet investigation by FINRA into both MMAT and MMTLP that were reasons in themselves to NOT process the MMTLP Corporate Action.
FINRA ignored these reasons outlined in their Rule 6490 and they even embedded an issue related to settlement and clearance (yet another reason to NOT process the Corporate Action) but the SEC never penalized FINRA for NOT adhering to their rules.
Some may point out that FINRA's Rule 6490 indicates that FINRA "may" deem a Corporate Action deficient for any 1 of the 5 reasons mentioned in the rule.
Fair!
But when you do your research you see that FINRA is known for deeming Corporate Action submissions deficient for missing financials from previous company leadership sometimes 10 to 20 years prior.
If FINRA claims that these were valid reasons to NOT process a Corporate Action, in the name of protecting investors, why wouldn't pending adjudication from the SEC that eventually became charges filed against John Brda, George Palikaras and Metamaterials?
Why wouldn't a blue sheet investigation initiated on 12/5/22, that suspected the issuer of fraud, NOT be reason enough to prevent the first MMTLP Corporate Action from being published the very next day?
Why is FINRA given special treatment but not the OCC?
Does the quoted post provide clues?
👋👋BYE BYE RALPH NORMAN THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN YOU LOST
Ralph Norman has the nerve to say in his loser speech that he did it for service.
If that was true why didn't you help the MMTLP Shareholders❓️
You are just like all Politicians self serving.
WE ARE NOT SAD TO SEE YOU GO 👋👋
NEXT BRIDGE HYDROCARBONS' CEO GREG MCCABE THROWING HAYMAKERS AS REGULATORS REFUSE (AGAIN) TO MEET WITH THE ISSUER TO RESOLVE THE MMTLP FIASCO...
To: David Woodcock, Director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement...
🥊“I am quite confident that you have been told an INACCURATE VERSION of the events related to this surreal regulatory nightmare.”
🥊“I need your assistance regarding the recent COUNTERFEITING of Next Bridge Hydrocarbons shares by multiple BROKER-DEALERS, as well as other securities frauds against our company and shareholders.”
🥊"Broker-dealers now can eliminate their shares deficits and make customers whole. Yet NOT ONE broker-dealers with a share deficit purchased and delivered those legitimate S-1 shares to customers who had required Next Bridge shares in good faith.
🥊"While I recognize it is convenient and more cost-effective to simply create fake digital shares than to purchase legitimate shares from our company, it is difficult to view this behavior as anything short of theft.”
🥊“The time has come for this sanctioned madness to stop. The SEC has a congressional mandate to protect investors, and tens of thousands of Americans have now waited nearly four years for someone within the federal government to confront what happened with MMTLP.”
To: Robert Colby, Chief Legal Officer FINRA...
🥊"The second [letter], dated August 7, 2026, requests a meeting with the new Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement to discuss our evidence that demonstrates the CREATION OF UNAUTHORIZED Next Bridge Hydrocarbons shares by U.S. broker-dealers."
WHEN IS THE FRAUD GOING TO STOP???
MMTLP MMAT TRCH NBH
@POTUS@SecScottBessent@FBIDirectorKash@ODNIgov@Pulte@timburchett
Why not retire with some decency @RepRalphNorman!?
You only have 130 days left!
Stop letting the SEC hide behind charges unrelated to the issue with MMTLP / Next Bridge Hydrocarbons.
BREAKING🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS A LETTER ON HIS DESK REGARDING NAKED SHORT SELLING & THE MMTLP ISSUE, AWAITING HIS SIGNATURE.
Like 👍 if you think Trump should take immediate action on Naked Shorting and sign this letter
$MMTLP Community, before tonight’s @CHELLESHOCKEDTM Veterans space, I want to recognize the amazing Patriot who was truly GROUND ZERO in making this possible - @RogueLou18.
Lauren is a kick-ass retired U.S. Air Force Veteran, an absolute powerhouse in #Idaho politics, and the person who first put MMTLP on @BeardVet’s radar.
When Lauren learned what was happening to MMTLP veterans, she couldn’t believe what she was hearing and she cared enough to make an introduction.
One introduction. One connection. And look where we are now! 🔥
Tonight, veterans, military families and the $MMTLP community will have one of the most powerful platforms we’ve had in this fight.
Lauren, that first spark started with YOU. 🇺🇸
MMTLP family, let’s show Lauren some love and give this incredible veteran a follow. She showed up for our veterans. Let’s show up for her. 🇺🇸 🫡
Thank you, for opening the door @RogueLou18 - Now we’re about to kick it wide open. 🔥🇺🇸

Open Letter to President Trump from a #MMTLP U.S. Veteran
Dear President Trump, @potus@realdonaldtrump
I come from generations of service.
My grandfather was a pilot who flew in the South Pacific during World War II. My great-uncle served as a captain in the Korean War. My father was Military Police in the Air Force during Vietnam. I have uncles and cousins who served as Fire Captains in the Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard.
I followed that tradition as an Army medic during the pre-war build-up to the Gulf War and was honorably discharged after six years of service as a Battalion Aid Station Sergeant.
Multiple generations and multiple branches of my family raised our right hands. We took the same oath. We stood ready to give everything for this country. We believed the government we served would have our backs the same way we had theirs.
I worked hard after I got out. I built a family. I saved. I invested carefully. Like thousands of other veterans, I put a significant part of my retirement savings into MMTLP. I trusted the American system. I trusted the regulators. I trusted that the markets were fair.
Then the government turned its back on us.
I purchased Torchlight Energy in January of 2021, so as of this letter, I am 5.5 years into this situation. MMTLP was a dividend that never should have traded. It did anyway—against the company’s wishes. Despite official statements giving the exact final trading day, FINRA issued a sudden U3 halt on December 9, 2022. They froze every investor’s assets, including the shorts, then deleted the ticker. International shareholders lost all confidence in U.S. markets. More shares were sold than the company ever issued.
Veteran investments, retirements, and pensions have now been locked for 1,355 days — nearly the length of a standard 4-year enlistment.Among us are at least 130 veterans, 60 of them disabled, 14 still on active duty, and Lt. Col. Bradshaw — the Marine One pilot who flew Presidents Reagan and Bush. Roughly $12 million of veterans’ investments remain frozen.
Almost 2,000 FOIAs filed with the SEC. Approval rate under 1%. Heavily redacted records pointing to shadow collusion between the FIF, SEC, FINRA, and Wall Street. On December 22, 2023, 74 bipartisan members of Congress — led by Representatives Ralph Norman and Pete Sessions — demanded answers. There was no follow-up. No resolution.
Millions of our tax dollars have been spent trying to hide the share count. My tax dollars are being used to defend the government against me knowing the share count of my own investment. That is how crazy this situation has become.
We have countless divorces, broken families, bankrupt small family businesses, healthcare concerns, and ruined lives. Houses can be replaced. Cars can be replaced. Things can be replaced. But life and time cannot. Three and a half years of ruined Christmases, missed birthdays, and opportunity cost — money that could have paid for better healthcare, sent kids to college, or helped a loved one — gone forever.
If a Lieutenant Colonel who flew Marine One under two presidents cannot get answers about the investments he made for himself and his family, then how can I? How can the veterans of MMTLP ever be made whole?
I voted for President Trump three times. I am as MAGA as they come. But what am I supposed to think when his own company’s stock, $DJT, faces the same collusion and corruption? If he cannot fix the problems at his own house, how will he help us fix this?
Failure to regulate U.S. securities markets is not just a financial scandal. The loss of international confidence is a substantial national security risk.
Mr. President, the letter is on your desk. Sign it. Demand the true audited, aggregated share count. Release the FOIAs. Show the men and women who wore the uniform — and the world — that this government still has their backs.
I’m still standing. We’re still standing. Veterans don’t quit. We adapt, we overcome, and we fight until the mission is complete. Share this message. Demand justice.
Because if they can do this to those who served and look the other way for three and a half years, they can do it to anyone.
Respectfully,
@IRONAPE_MMTLP

Good night everyone 🌙✨
The elephant in the room has been neglected too long.
Tonight we continued to expose it. #MMTLP
Our veterans deserve our support. Get in the fight!
God Bless and Sweet Dreams 😴
After hearing that @RepRalphNorman’s office Tipped Off the @SECGov to start a SHAME investigation to STALL insight from Congress on the Trump Media & Technology Group and MMTLP scandal, I fully Endorse @DarlineGrahamSC for the Senate
That’s Why President Trump says he’s on the ballot Today in South Carolina
Veterans, Veteran Families and Others have suffered long enough for Answers.
