    Trump Crypto Corruption Intensifies as Abu Dhabi Firm Invests $2 Billion

    Sen. Chris Murphy called the president's crypto scheming the "biggest corruption scandal in the history of the American presidency"

    https://www.rollingstone.com/politi...-crypto-corruption-abu-dhabi-deal-1235329793/

    Trump set to raise millions from crypto and meme coin this month

    President Donald Trump has two crypto-focused dinners on the calendar this month — one aimed at deep-pocketed political donors, the other at meme coin millionaires. Both are poised to help him rake in millions.

    Accountable.US, a center-left watchdog group that investigates corporate and political influence, described the leaderboard contest as "the most nakedly corrupt self-enrichment scheme in U.S. presidential history," warning it opens the door for wealthy donors — including potentially foreign actors — to buy access to the president, while personally enriching the Trump family.

    Because crypto wallets are pseudonymous, unless a holder has publicly disclosed their wallet address, it is difficult to independently confirm the identities of the top token holders currently leading the contest.

    I just noticed this grift(s) unrelated to the other grift posted in the corruption thread...



    https://www.axios.com/2025/04/28/magas-coming-clubhouse-executive-branch

    Aspiring members of a new MAGA moguls club, Executive Branch, are offering to pay double the listed membership fee of $500,000 to get off the waiting list, a source close to the club tells Axios.

    • Finishing touches are being put on the clubhouse, which is to open in Georgetown next month with a bar, lounge, restaurant and boardroom, the source tells us.
    • At an announcement party on White House Correspondents' Dinner weekend, guests were offered caviar as they walked into The Occidental restaurant, near the White House.
    Why it matters: The club — with Donald Trump Jr. as a lead investor, and membership tightly screened for loyalty to President Trump — will be a sumptuous retreat for rubbing shoulders with cabinet members and West Wing officials, with no danger of running into reporters or Democrats.

    Besides Don Jr., the owners are financier Omeed Malik; Chris Buskirk, of 1789 Capital, who's close to Vice President Vance; and Alex Witkoff and Zach Witkoff, sons of real estate developer Steve Witkoff, the president's close friend and Middle East envoy.

    • Founding members include David Sacks, White House A.I. and crypto czar, and co-star of the "All-In" podcast; his "All-In" colleague Chamath Palihapitiya; superlobbyist Jeff Miller; and the Winklevoss twins, who are co-founders of a crypto platform.
    The club — which, Politico reported, aims to be the highest-end private club Washington has ever had — is getting heavy interest from "the donor community and the international community," we're told.

    • For the club to take your check, you need to be approved by the owners — like with other exclusive clubs, you need to know somebody and be vouched for.
    Saturday night's party, with separate VIP and VVIP sections, drew Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, FCC chair Brendan Carr, FTC chair Andrew Ferguson, SEC chair Paul Atkins, deputy FBI director Dan Bongino and Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

    • Also: Laura Ingraham; White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt; White House deputy chiefs of staff Taylor Budowich and James Blair; Treasury's Alexandra Preate, Cora Alvi and Paras Malik; Arthur Schwartz, trusted adviser to Vance and Don Jr.; and Garrett Ventry, founder of GRV Strategies.

    The whole family is taking in money off of Trump's presidency again, but in a much bigger fashion.

    When Joe Biden pardoned his entire family for years of openly corrupt activity.... you kind of lost the opportunity to complain about corruption. And this does not even qualify as corruption. Not even close.

    GOOD DAY

    Theres zero evidence that shows Joe Biden ever received a dollar from hunter or anyone. House Republicans looked for years and found nothing. In the mean time Trump is directly selling access to himself through his crypto scheme which is enriching himself directly. You can buy access to Trump through his meme coin that has ZERO functionality

    Its just funny how dumb yalls talking points are. Bunch of low cultists who can't even think for themselves

    LOL, no joke. I mean that's just one company out of many so far, and they put 20 million into Trump's pockets for preferential treatment. He has already raked in billions into his pockets with his meme coins and crypto grift in a little over 100 days. Dude should be impeached for corruption.

    This attached link has a list that is mind blowing, and it's just the highlights of the conflicts of interest and corruption in Trump's first 100 days.

    100 Conflicts of Interest as President Trump Clears the Path for Corruption

    “Selling access and influence is the defining feature of the Trump White House, and this President has spent these first 100 days clearing a path for corruption and letting big corporations, his fellow felons, and billionaire buddies know that the Trump White House is open for business—for a price,” said Ranking Member Connolly.

    “If you put enough money directly into Trump’s personal pocket or show that you’re loyal to the MAGA Cartel, you too could find that your cases have been dropped, that red tape has been cut, or you get some lucrative business and government contracts thrown your way."

    I would agree with you wholeheartedly, but then we’d both be wrong…

    Wow, you could not be more wrong. Below is an incredible amount of evidence of the Biden family's corruption. Read it and learn.

    https://oversight.house.gov/landing/biden-family-investigation/

    Why do you think the FBI and media tried to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election? Because they knew it contained overwhelming evidence of corruption (which it did).

    Liberals simply lack credibility if they can't admit to the Biden family corruption. It's that simple. The evidence is clear and overwhelming.



    GOOD DAY
