Reza Pahlavi/Bady Doc Duvalier-level corruption

+ This is Reza Pahlavi/Bady Doc Duvalier-level corruption: An international trucking logistics firm is buying as much as $20 million worth of President Donald Trump’s crypto coins to influence the administration’s trade policy…

+ An analysis by Bloomberg shows that nearly all of the top purchasers of Trump’s meme coin, hoping to buy a few intimate moments with the president, are likely foreigners. These include two “wallets” that purchased $16 million “worth” of tokens, seven who bought between $3 million and $6 million, and another seven who bought between $1 and $2 million.

+ Molly White says Trump’s memecoin and other crypto ventures have opened up the door for buying influence with the administration: “He is really allowing for bribery and the types of corruption that we’ve never seen in the American presidency.”

+ A small group of crypto traders reportedly made nearly $100 million by buying Melania Trump’s memecoin minutes before it went public. I wonder how they knew? Crystal ball? Ouiji board? Psychic hotline? I Ching? Fortune Cookie?

+ Once Trump discovered that the presidential pardon power was nearly unlimited, he turned it into another grift. Lawyers are charging one million-dollar fees just to get pardon cases into Trump’s hands. Trump told one pardon recipient he was now “cleaner than a baby’s bottom.”
