Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (DJT), a media and technology company founded by former US President Donald Trump, has recently terminated its accounting firm BF Borgers CPA.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged auditing firm BF Borgers and its owner, Benjamin F. Borgers, with "massive fraud" for deliberate failures in over 1,500 audits. Despite being hired by Trump Media and Technology Group just 37 days prior, the charges are unrelated to their work for the company. The firm agreed to a $12 million fine, with Benjamin Borgers facing a $2 million fine and both agreeing to permanent suspensions from handling SEC-related matters. The SEC found that BF Borgers fabricated documentation, failed to follow accounting rules, and falsely stated that their work met audit standards.
